Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Werkstoff für elektrische Kontakte aus Silber mit 5 bis 20 Gew.% Zinnoxid, und 0,05 bis 5 % Wolframoxid.The invention relates to a material for electrical contacts made of silver with 5 to 20% by weight of tin oxide and 0.05 to 5% of tungsten oxide.
Für die Herstellung von elektrischen Kontaktstücken hat sich für eine Vielzahl von Anwendnngställen Ag/CdO bisher am besten bewährt. Aufgrund der Umweltbelastung durch Cd0 wird jedoch verstärkt versucht, CdO durch ein anderes Metalloxid zu ersetzen. Bei diesen Untersuchungen zeigte es sich, dass SnO2 ein geeigneter Ersatz für Cd0 ist. Aufgrand der höheren thermisehen Stabilität von SnO2 gegenüber Cd0 ergibt sich zudem eine deutlich verminderte Abbrandrate, die zur längeren Lebensdauer im Schaltgerät führt. Ein sehr wesentlicher Nachteil von Ag/SnO2 besteht jedoch darin, dass der Übergangswiderstand am Kontakt nach einigen tausend Schaltungen durch Deckschichtbildung zu hoch wird. Dies führt dann in der Regel zu erhöhten Temperaturen im Schaltgerät, die zur Zerstörung des Gerätes führen können und somit naznlässig sind.For the manufacture of electrical contact pieces, Ag / CdO has proven to be the best for a large number of application stalls. However, due to the environmental impact of Cd0, efforts are being made to replace CdO with another metal oxide. These investigations showed that SnO 2 is a suitable replacement for Cd0. Due to the higher thermal stability of SnO 2 compared to Cd0, there is also a significantly reduced burn rate, which leads to a longer service life in the switchgear. A very significant disadvantage of Ag / SnO 2 , however, is that the contact resistance at the contact becomes too high after a few thousand switching operations due to the formation of a covering layer. This usually leads to increased temperatures in the switch device that can lead to the destruction of the device and are therefore negligent.
Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Ag/Sn02-Werkstoffe gegenüber Ag/CdO besteht in der geringeren Sicherheit gegen Verschweissen. Die Kräfte, die zum Zerreissen der Schweissbrücke erforderlich sind, sind teilweise doppelt so hoch wie die bei Ag/CdO-Kontakten. Damit besteht die Gefahr von Schaltstörnagen bei Einsatz von Ag/SnO2.Another disadvantage of these Ag / Sn02 materials compared to Ag / CdO is the lower security against welding. The forces required to tear the welding bridge are sometimes twice as high as those with Ag / CdO contacts. There is therefore a risk of switching interference when using Ag / SnO 2 .
Es ist daher versucht worden, durch den Zusatz weiterer Metalloxide zu Aa/SnO2 die Verschweißsicherheit zn erhöhen, wobei beispielsweise Vismutoxid (DE-OS 27 54 27 54 335) oder Indimaozid (DE-OS 24 28 147) verwendet werden. Diese Zusätze verbessern zwar die Verschweißsicherheit, bedingen jedoch eine erhöhte Temperatur am Kontakt und am Schaltgerät, was die Lebensdauer der Geräte beeinträchtigt.Attempts have therefore been made to increase the welding security zn by adding further metal oxides to Aa / SnO 2 , for example bismuth oxide (DE-OS 27 54 27 54 335) or indimaozide (DE-OS 24 28 147) being used. Although these additives improve welding security, they require an increased temperature on the contact and on the switching device, which affects the service life of the devices.
Aus der DE-OS 29 33 338 ist ein elektrischer Bontaktwerkstöff aus Silber mit 8 bis 20 Gew.% Zinnoxid und 0,05 bis 5 Gew.% Wolframoxid bekannt. Mit diesem Werkstoff können die Übergangswiderstände von Silber-Zinnoxid-Werkstoffen im geschalteten Znstand nach einigen tausend Schaltungen bis zum Ende der Lebensdauer auf die Werte von Ag/Cd0 gesenkt werden. Dadurch wird dieser neue Silber-Zinnoxid-Werkstoff als direkter Ersatz für Silb er-Cadminmozid in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungsfällen in der elektrischen Energietechnik verwendbar.From DE-OS 29 33 338 an electrical receipt mechanism made of silver with 8 to 20% by weight of tin oxide and 0.05 to 5% by weight of tungsten oxide is known. With this material, the contact resistance of silver-tin oxide materials in the switched state can be reduced to Ag / Cd0 after a few thousand switching operations until the end of their service life. This means that this new silver-tin oxide material can be used as a direct replacement for silver-cadmin mozide in a large number of applications in electrical power engineering.
Durch das Wolframoxid wurde darüberhinaus die Sicherheit gegen das Verschweissen von einschaltenden Kontakten gegenüber reinem Silber-Zinnoxid erhöht. Die zum Trennen der Kontakte erforderlichen Kräfte lagen jedoch im Durchschnitt noch über den Werten von speziellen Silber-Cadmiumoxid-Werkstoffen.The tungsten oxide also increased the security against the welding of switching contacts compared to pure silver-tin oxide. However, the forces required to separate the contacts were on average above the values of special silver-cadmium oxide materials.
Es war daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Werkstoff für elektrische Kontakte auf der Basis Silber mit 5 bis 20 Gew.% Zinnoxid und 0,05 bis 5 Gew.% Wolframoxid zu finden,der die Verschweißkraft weiter mindert, ohne dadurch eine erhöhte Temperatur am Kontakt zu erzeugen und damit die Lebensdauer des Schaltgerätes zu erniedrigen.It was therefore an object of the present invention to find a material for electrical contacts based on silver with 5 to 20% by weight of tin oxide and 0.05 to 5% by weight of tungsten oxide, which further reduces the welding force without thereby increasing the temperature Generate contact and thus reduce the life of the switching device.
Erfindungsgemäss wurde diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass der Werkstoff zusätzlich 0,1 bis 5 Gew.% Wismutoxid enthält.According to the invention, this object was achieved in that the material additionally contains 0.1 to 5% by weight bismuth oxide.
Überraschenderweise zeigte sich, dass ein Zusatz von 0,1 bis 5 % Wismutoxid zu Silber-Zinnozid-Wolframoxid geeignet ist, die Verschweißkraft weiter zu senken auf Werte, die auch optimiertem Silber-Cadmiumoxid ebenbürtig sind. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil des Wismutoxidzusatzes liegt darin, dass die Kontaktwiderstände, die durch Wolframoxid-Zusatz gesenkt wurden, nicht wieder erhöht werden, wie das bei anderen Metalloxiden gefunden wurde und an sich zu erwarten ist.Surprisingly, it was found that the addition of 0.1 to 5% bismuth oxide to silver-tinocide-tungsten oxide is suitable for further reducing the welding force to values that are also equivalent to optimized silver-cadmium oxide. Another significant advantage of the addition of bismuth oxide is that the contact resistance, which was reduced by the addition of tungsten oxide, is not increased again, as was found with other metal oxides and can be expected per se.
Der Werkstoff aus Silber mit 5 bis 20 Gew.% Zinnoxid, 0,05 bis 5 Gew.% Wolframoxid und 0,1 bis 5 Gew.% Wismutoxid stellt somit einen besonders abbrandfesten und verschweißeicheren Werkstoff mit niedrigen Übergaagswiderständea dar.The material made of silver with 5 to 20 wt.% Tin oxide, 0.05 to 5 wt.% Tungsten oxide and 0.1 to 5 wt.
Folgende Tabelle soll die Eigenschaften des erfindnngsgemässen Werkstoffs im Vergleich zu bekannten Werkstoffen zeigen.
