Description

A kind of preparation method of siller tin oxide electric contact material
Technical field:
The present invention relates to the technology of preparing of electrical contact material, a kind of siller tin oxide electric contact material preparation method is provided especially.
Background technology:
Along with the high speed development of modern industry, control apparatus industrialization, intelligent level are more and more higher, and the high voltage power transmission and transforming network load increases day by day, and low-voltage distribution system and Controlling System be the update of development and electronic industrial products constantly.Electric equipment products develop to the direction of large vol, small volume.Thereupon to electric equipment products the heart element---electrical contact material is had higher requirement, promptly require material under the situation of greatly arc heat and joule heating, melting welding does not take place, mechanical wear and anti-electric abrasioning performance are good; The metal that produces in breaking course splashes too much unsuitable, and the arc time is unsuitable oversize; Under the direct current environment for use, resistance fusion welding is good, and material transition is few, and contact resistance is low and stable.
Because the CdO in the AgCdO alloy can at high temperature decompose, play the effect of heat absorption, cooling, so it has good over-all properties, good processability has been widely used in low-voltage apparatus contact field in addition, poisons but AgCdO is easy to generate Cd in production and use, biology is caused damage, environment is polluted, and Europe and Japan launch respectively rules for this reason, forbid to use in household electrical appliance and car electrics the AgCdO contact.Simultaneously also because low-voltage apparatus miniaturization, high reliability, long-life requirement, shortcoming such as AgCdO also exposes resistance fusion welding can be poor, electrical arc erosion is serious, it is alternative to need the better silver contact material of performance.
At present, the Ag-based electrical contact material manufacturing process has two big classes: 1. alloy melting internal oxidation; 2. powder metallurgic method.Also can be divided into interior oxidation contact and powder metallurgy contact two big series according to its product of manufacturing process.Japan proposes and has issued somely to prepare AgSnO with inner oxidation method 2Patented technology, and this product put goods on the market; Germany has issued the employing powder metallurgy process and has prepared AgSnO 2Patent, product also puts goods on the market in batches; The domestic coating method that adopts is in addition produced AgSnO 2Patented technology.Compare AgSnO with AgCdO 2Having shown good arc ablation resistance performance, high thermal stability and good anti-melting welding ability, successfully be applied to rly., contactor and low-tension switch, is the non-toxic material that is expected to comprehensively substitute AgCdO most.
At present, it is generally acknowledged the sliver oxidized tin contactor materials density height that internal oxidation process is produced, resistivity is low, and electric life is the longest, and under AC3 and AC4 condition, its electric life is better than AgCdO with the contact of this prepared.Because it is long that the frequent electrical equipment of operations such as contactor, rly. requires the anti-electric mill of contact to undermine electric life, the therefore general contact product that adopts internal oxidation process to produce, its shortcoming is to show higher temperature rise in some occasions.
The employing powder metallurgical technique is produced, the siller tin oxide product that has added Tungsten oxide 99.999, molybdenum oxide or cupric oxide, approaching with internal oxidation aspect the contact temperature rise having better result, but having poor result in the AC3 longevity test aspect the AC4 longevity test.
Usually require difference according to electric switch function, current class etc., the material of selecting for use is also different.In addition, select for use asymmetric pairing also can improve the work-ing life of material.
Internal oxidation is that the AgSn alloy is heated under oxygen-enriched environment, passes through O 2Diffusion in Ag, at the inner stannic oxide particle that generates of alloy, this method can obtain meticulous stannic oxide particle distribution, but the component gradient that often has stannic oxide in the product, the surface is high, and is middle few, has rich stannic oxide district, the crystal boundary zone is segregation stannic oxide easily, thereby reduced the contact performance.And in the AgSn alloy when the content of Sn during greater than 4-5% (in metal element), unavoidably to form successive Sn oxide film at this alloy outside surface, thereby hinder oxygen and be penetrated into alloy inside, make the Sn of AgSn block alloy inside be difficult to interior oxidation, interior oxidation needs time long (needing several months), temperature height (500-750 degree), pressure big (general 10-200 normal atmosphere), consumes energy is many.In order to address these problems, usually to the In that wherein adds 0.5-5%, to promote interior oxidation.But the In price is high, and widespread use has the obstacle on the price, even and add prooxidant such as In, the AgSnO of 2mm 2Also need the oxidation of 200 hours ability complete.There is employing that the AgSn alloy atomization is made the AgSn alloy powder in recent years, the technology of oxidation in carrying out again.But the interior oxidation of the AgSn alloy powder that surpasses 4%Sn is still slow, still forms SnO simultaneously easily 2The particle situation of bag Ag, powder metallurgy adds man-hour, obtains SnO 2The tissue of isolating Ag, the rich SnO of crystal boundary 2, material mechanical performance is poor, is difficult to cold working (wire drawing, riveter nail etc.).
Summary of the invention:
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of preparation method of siller tin oxide electric contact material, have both the advantage of powder metallurgy and interior oxidation, have good electrical property and mechanical property with the siller tin oxide electric contact material of this method preparation.
