Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of environmental contamination, pollution or the like and moreover to impart excellent wear resistance to a contact material without incorporating Cd by incorporating specified amounts of Gd and Cu into Ag as the main component. SOLUTION: Ag is used as the main component, and, at least 0.01 to 5 wt.% Gd is incorporated to compose a sliding contact material. Or, a compsn. using Ag as the main component and at least incorporated with 2.0 to 12.0% Cu and 0.01 to 5.0% Gd is prepd. Particularly, the content of Cu is preferably controlled to 4.0 to 10.0%. In the case a thin film essentially consisting of an AgAu alloy is laminated on the surface of the sliding contact material, its endurance time can be prolonged. Since this contact material has an eutectic structure to Ag or an AgCu alloy as the main component, and, moreover, Gd having a fine and uniform hexagonal closest packed structure is dispersed, by heat generated in accordance with the sliding with the mating member, Gd2O3, i.e., the fine oxide of Gd is produced on the sliding face. In this way, its frictional resistance is made small.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a commutator for a micromotor or the like, Ag-Cd 1 wt% or Ag-Cu 6 wt% -Cd 2
A sliding contact material of wt% is used. Recently, however, there is a concern that the Cd-containing sliding contact material may cause problems such as environmental pollution and pollution caused by Cd in production or use. Therefore, a sliding contact material containing no Cd is demanded. Further, since the sliding contact material containing Cd has relatively insufficient wear resistance, when such a sliding contact material is used for a commutator such as a micromotor,
There is a disadvantage that the life of the motor is shortened.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the sliding contact material according to the present invention will be described. The sliding contact material to which the present invention is applied contains at least 0.01 wt% of Ag or AgCu alloy.
% To 5.0% by weight of Gd. The reason for adding 0.01 wt% to 5.0 wt% of Gd is to reduce sliding wear. If it is less than 0.01 wt%, the effect is not obtained, and if it exceeds 5.0 wt%, workability is deteriorated and rolling is performed. This is because processing cannot be performed. Further, in a sliding contact material containing Gd in an AgCu alloy, Cu is added in an amount of 2.
The reason for adding 0 wt% to 12.0 wt% is to increase the hardness and improve the abrasion resistance. When the content is less than 2.0 wt%, the effect is hardly seen, and when the content exceeds 12.0 wt%, the mating member is not added. This is because the contact resistance becomes high, and the sliding is not performed smoothly. Therefore, as the content of Cu,
The range of 4.0 wt% to 10.0 wt% is particularly preferred.

Here, with reference to Table 1, an embodiment of the sliding contact material of the present invention will be specifically described in comparison with a conventional example. Table 1 shows the results of measurement of the mixing ratio of the components added to Ag, which is the main component, and the contact resistance and abrasion loss when each compound was used for a commutator of a motor.

Using these sliding contact materials, a diameter of 6 m
A commutator piece to be mounted on the outer periphery of a commutator holder having a length of 10 mm and a length of 10 mm was formed. Then, a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 8 mm made of Ag-Pd 50 wt% is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the commutator piece.
The brush contact having three brush wires was slid so as to face each other, and a commutator rotation test was performed under the following conditions.
When the contact resistance and the amount of wear of the commutator pieces were measured in the rotation test, the results shown in the right column of Table 1 were obtained. Test conditions Current: DC 150 mA Voltage: 13 V Rotational speed of commutator: 2400 rpm Rotation time of commutator: 5000 hours Contact force of brush contact: 20 g / 3

As is clear from the results shown in the right column of Table 1 above, the commutator pieces formed of the sliding contact materials of Examples 1 to 6 are formed of the sliding contact materials of Conventional Examples 1 to 5. It can be seen that the contact resistance is lower and more stable than that of the commutator piece, and the amount of wear is remarkably small.

Next, a life test of a commutator piece made of the sliding contact material according to the present invention and a motor provided with a commutator piece made of a material other than the material were performed under the following conditions.

As is apparent from the durability time shown in Table 2,
Since Gd is blended in the sliding contact material of Examples 7 to 10, the motor provided with the commutator piece formed of this material is used as the commutator formed of the sliding contact material of Conventional Examples 5 and 6. It can be seen that the endurance time is much longer than that of the motor having the small pieces. In particular, it can be seen that when the Au-Ag 40 wt% thin film is laminated on the surface of the commutator piece, the durability time is further increased.

As described above, by using the sliding contact material of the present invention containing Gd, it does not contain Cd, which may cause problems such as environmental pollution and pollution, and has a low contact resistance and is stable. As a result, it is possible to form a sliding member having an extremely small amount of wear. As a result, when the commutator piece made of the sliding contact material is applied to a motor such as a micromotor, the life of the motor can be extremely extended.
