The present invention relates to improvements in electrical contact materials, particularly silver-copper composite electrical contact materials. Silver-copper alloy electrical contact materials are used as sliding contacts in micromotor commutators and rotary switches in small current ranges, and are used where contact force can be increased in relatively large current ranges. There is. However, in the medium current range, the contact resistance is unstable and there is a lot of transfer wear, so a solution to this problem is strongly desired. Therefore, the inventors of the present invention conducted intensive research in order to meet the above-mentioned needs, and discovered a silver-copper composite electrical contact material that satisfies the needs. The composite electrical contact material of the present invention has copper in silver of 4.8~
Al, Mg, Si, Zr, Zn, Ga, which has a higher standard energy of oxide formation than copper by adding 55% by weight.
It is made by uniformly dispersing 0.2 to 10% by weight of an oxide of at least one of Mn, Sn, In, Ti, Sb, Ni, Fe, Co, and Cr. In the composite electrical contact material of the present invention, Al, Mg, Si, Zr, Zn, Ga, Mn, Sn,
The reason for uniformly dispersing at least one oxide of In, Ti, Sb, Ni, Fe, Co, and Cr is to reduce the formation of an oxide film on the contact surface, which enables switching with low contact resistance. This is to improve the welding resistance. The reason why the amount to be uniformly dispersed was set to 0.2 to 10% by weight is because if it is less than 0.2% by weight, the effect of dispersing the oxide, that is, the opening/closing with low contact resistance and the improvement of welding resistance cannot be expected. %
This is because if it exceeds this, plastic working will not be possible and the material will crack. The reason for adding 0.1 to 60% by weight of copper to silver is
This is because if it is less than 4.8% by weight, the effect of suppressing transfer wear when DC voltage is applied is insufficient, and if it exceeds 55% by weight, plastic working becomes difficult and cracks occur. Next, in order to clarify the effects of the composite electrical contact material according to the present invention, specific examples thereof and conventional electrical contacts will be described. Regarding Examples 1 to 32, materials having the composition shown in the left column of the table below were melted and sprayed to form powder with a diameter of 1 mm or less, and then internally oxidized in an oxygen atmosphere at 9 atm and 600°C to form composite powder. Then, the copper oxide is reduced in a reducing atmosphere at 400℃ to form a composite powder having the composition after oxidation as shown in the table below, and then it is formed into a wire by compression, sintering, and extrusion. I used rivets to make electrical contacts. Example 33 Silver powder, copper powder, and nickel oxide powder were weighed to have a composition of 80% by weight of silver, 10% by weight of copper, and 10% by weight of nickel oxide, mixed mechanically, and then compressed, sintered, and extruded. I cut it into wire and then processed it with rivets to make electrical contacts. Example 34 Silver powder, copper powder, and cobalt oxide powder were weighed to have a composition of 80% by weight of silver, 10% by weight of copper, and 10% by weight of cobalt oxide, mixed mechanically, and then compressed, sintered, and extruded. I cut it into wire and then processed it with rivets to make electrical contacts. Conventional example 1 92.5% by weight of gold and 7.5% by weight of copper were melted, cast into a mold, extruded and drawn to form a wire,
I used rivets to make electrical contacts. Conventional Example 2 85% by weight of silver and 15% by weight of copper were melted, cast into a mold, extruded and drawn to form a wire, and then riveted to make electrical contacts. However, the electrical contacts of Examples 1 to 34 and the electrical contacts of Conventional Examples 1 and 2 were subjected to opening/closing tests under the following test conditions, and the number of openings and closings until welding occurred was measured.
The contact resistance was measured after opening and closing 10,000 times and after opening and closing 100,000 times, and the amount of wear when welding occurred was measured, and the results shown in Tables 1 and 2 below were obtained. Test conditions Voltage DC12V Inrush current 40A, steady current 10A Opening/closing frequency 10 times/min Fixed contact (rivet type) Head diameter 5mm x thickness 1mm Foot diameter 2.5mm x length 2.5mm Movable contact (rivet type) Head diameter 4mm x thickness 1.1mm (Top surface of contact is spherical with radius 5mm) Foot diameter 2.8mm x length 1.6mm

It's improving. Furthermore, the contact resistance remains stable and does not change much even if the number of openings and closings increases. Furthermore, with regard to consumption, there was little transfer, and problems such as locking were less likely to occur. As detailed above, the composite electrical contact material according to the present invention can open and close with lower contact resistance than conventional silver-copper alloy electrical contact materials, and is resistant to welding because the oxide is uniformly dispersed. Excellent in sex,
It can be said to be an epoch-making product that can replace the conventional silver-copper alloy electrical contact material.
