For example, a silver-coated copper material in which a CLJ alloy strip is coated with Ag to a thickness of 0.5 to 20μ has the advantage that in addition to the mechanical strength of the base material, the Ag
It is known as an economical, high-performance conductor with excellent corrosion resistance, solderability, and electrical connectivity, and is widely used as parts of electrical and electronic equipment. This silver-coated copper material is also used as an electrical contact, and many of these electrical contacts require stable electrical connectivity. In order to stabilize the electrical connectivity, it is necessary that the contact resistance is stable both initially and over time, that the surface has good slipperiness, little wear damage, and excellent corrosion resistance.

Switches are used in combination with fixed contacts and movable contacts, both of which are coated with Ag or Ag alloy. However, with this combination U, as the number of contacts increases, the operating force of the switch decreases and the contact resistance increases, reducing the life of the switch. This is due to Li adhesion between Ag and Ag, and the adhesion reduces the operating force and increases the stiffness.

By coating the switch with in, Qd, or an alloy thereof, it is possible to stabilize the operating force and contact resistance of the switch at low cost. In other words, adhesive wear is extremely likely to occur when Ag or A9 alloy coated substrates come into contact with each other, which reduces the operating force, and the Ag or Snake alloy layer is scraped off, exposing the substrate and increasing contact resistance. This phenomenon is prevented by coating with Sn, Pd, In, Cd, or an alloy thereof. The reason for this is not clear, but it is presumed that during the initial movement, the dissimilar metal on one side is scraped, and the scraped wear powder oxidizes, exerting a lubricating effect.

In addition, the comparative material Nα13 omitted Ag plating and applied Sn plating on the substrate, and although the change over time in the coefficient of dynamic friction was small, the change over time in contact resistance was large, and fretting corrosion was observed. This seems to be due to the influence of
