Definitions

  • the invention is based on a method with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • contact rivets are required for riveting onto contact carriers, which switch in air and offer sufficient security against welding. It is an application in which the contact rivets are exposed to direct current. When switching under direct current load, a material migration takes place from one contact to the opposite contact. The contact rivets should show the lowest possible material migration during switching operations. Under these conditions, contact materials based on silver-tin oxide are often used.
  • Silver-tin oxide offers sufficient security against welding of the contact rivets
  • contact rivets usually takes place by starting with wire sections which are inserted into a molding tool and compressed therein with an enlarged cross-section.
  • a wire section made of silver-tin oxide and a wire section made of copper are inserted one after the other into the tool and compressed therein, their mutual contact surfaces being enlarged and cold-welded to one another or also welded to one another by electric current (spot welding process ).
  • silver-tin oxide is a relatively less ductile, brittle material compared to copper. Therefore, cracks can form in the silver-tin oxide in the edge region of the rivet head, both on the contacting side and in the connection zone between the silver-tin oxide and the copper, which reduce the service life of the contact rivet. This tendency to crack also limits the options for shaping the rivet. Since the brittle silver oxide increases with increasing tin oxide content, further limits the tendency to cracking. the tin oxide content.
  • the object of the invention is to remedy this and to produce contact rivets with a reduced tendency to form cracks.
  • Formation of the rivet head uses a section of the sheathed wire, the sheath of which is made of a more ductile metal material than the sheathed core of the sheathed wire.
  • the brittle contact material is therefore encased both during the forming of the rivet head and in the finished contact rivet by a more ductile contact material than by a sleeve, which counteracts cracking in the brittle contact material, and any cracks in the brittle contact material that occur during the process Forming process smeared. Due to the reduced tendency to form cracks, the desired advantages are achieved: longer service life, reduced testing effort, fewer restrictions in shape • the contact rivet and the degree of deformation and finally the.
  • the invention is particularly suitable for the production of contact rivets, the contacting material of which is a material based on silver-tin oxide, which material can contain additional components which are suitable for keeping the contact point temperature low, in particular tungsten oxide. Molybdenum oxide, tungsten carbide, molybdenum carbide, germanium oxide, copper oxide and / or bismuth oxide, individually or in combination. In this case, silver or a silver alloy, in particular silver with up to 20% by weight of nickel or made of silver with up to 30% by weight of copper are particularly suitable as the material for the jacket. However, the invention is also applicable to other contact material combinations of a brittle core material and a more ductile jacket material. If a base material is suitable as the contacting material, a base contact material, in particular copper, can also be used as the cladding material.
  • materials made of silver with other oxidic or carbidic constituents such as cadmium oxide, zinc oxide, lead oxide, indium oxide, bismuth oxide, copper oxide, tungsten oxide, tungsten carbide, molybdenum oxide, molybdenum carbide or, are suitable as core materials
  • An advantage of the invention is that it can also be used to use contact rivets which, as the contacting material, have silver with a high proportion of 30 to 80% by weight of nickel.
  • Contact rivets with a contacting material based on silver with tin oxide can be produced with a higher tin oxide content than was previously the case, in particular with a tin oxide content of 13 to 18% by weight. There is a need for this in the field of the automotive industry, which has so far not been able to be satisfied.
  • the invention is applicable to contact rivets in which the head and shaft are made of the same material. To produce such contact rivets, individual sheathed wire sections are compressed to form the rivet head.
  • the invention is also applicable to bimetal oil contact rivets. In this case, a base wire section, generally made of copper, and a noble metal-containing sheath wire section are placed one after the other in a mold inserted and welded to one another with an enlarged cross-section and the rivet head formed in the process.
  • a suitable method and a tool with which the method can be carried out are disclosed, for example, in EP-B-0 062 243.
  • the invention is also applicable to the production of contact rivets with a base shaft, generally made of copper, and a noble etal-containing head at both ends of the shaft.
  • a first noble metal-containing sheathed wire section, a base wire section and a second noble metal-containing wire section are arranged one behind the other in a tool and welded to one another by enlarging the cross-section, initially only on one
  • a rivet head is formed, the diameter of which is larger than the shaft, whereas the second rivet head is only formed when the contact rivet is riveted into a contact carrier.
  • a method suitable for producing such contact rivets and a device for use in the methods are disclosed in EP-B-0 062 248.
  • a range of 1.2 to 2 is preferred for the ratio of the diameter of the sheathed wire to the diameter of the core, and the diameter ratio and the increase in diameter due to upsetting the wire sections are matched as preferential one another so that in the finished rivet head of the sheath still 'between 0.4 mm and 0.8 mm thick.

Abstract

On produit des rivets plaqués de contact électrique ayant une tige et une ou deux têtes en refoulant des sections de fil métallique dans un outil de formage. Afin de former au moins une des têtes, on utilise une section d'un fil sous gaine dont la gaine est composée d'un matériau métallique plus ductile que l'âme du fil sous gaine enveloppé par la gaine.
