Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To air-tightly join a first and a second contact members in a simple manner and suppress the decrease of hydrogen pressure in the air tight space by installing a metal member having a lower hydrogen-permeation than that of a magnetic metal material inside the first contact member. SOLUTION: A box like sealed container 1 having an open part in one face is a heat resistant ceramic container. An insertion hole 11a of a first contact member 11 having a rectangular shape and made of a magnetic metal material such as an electromagnetic soft iron is air-tightly joined to a bottomed cylindrical part 10 and a fixed iron core 7 is inserted into the hole. A cylindrical second contact member 12 having open holes 12a in both end parts is made of a metal material and air-tightly joined to the container 1 and the first contact member 11 to form an air-tight space 20 and hydrogen is sealed. A metal member 13 such as copper having lower hydrogen-permeation than a magnetic metal is installed inside the first member 11, preferably also inside the second member 12, by a method such as a cladding method. Consequently, the first and the second members 11, 12 can be directly joined without requiring a metal member 12, so that air-tight joining can be carried out by laser welding, which is not complicated.

In such a sealed contact device, an airtight space is provided.
The hydrogen hermetically sealed in 20 has a metal member 13 having a hydrogen permeability lower than that of the magnetic metal material inside the first joining member 11 made of a magnetic metal material, which is a member forming the hermetic space 20. Since it is provided, it does not easily leak from the airtight space 20 and the pressure does not easily drop. Moreover, since the first and second joining members 11 and 12 are directly joined without interposing the metal member 13, it is possible to perform the airtight joining without any trouble by laser welding.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the hydrogen hermetically sealed in the airtight space has the magnetic metal inside the first joining member made of a magnetic metal material, which is one member forming the airtight space. Since the metal member having hydrogen permeability lower than that of the material is provided, it is difficult for the metal member to leak from the airtight space and the pressure is not easily reduced. Moreover, the first and second joining members are
Because it is directly joined without passing through a metal member,
Laser welding enables airtight joining without much effort.
