Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical contact for closing and interrupting current in air or in vacuum by sliding and a switch device using the same.
  • circuit breakers and switches as protecting devices of power receiving-distributing systems current interrupting devices are generally constituted in vacuum because of good insulation, arc dispersion and dissipation so that interruption of current is effectively carried out. Therefore, a vacuum container for maintaining vacuum atmosphere is necessary, which leads to complexity of structures and manufacturing methods.
  • the switch devices should be small-sized and at low cost, which need simplification of structures. Accordingly, switch devices, which do not need vacuum containers and are simple in structures and are capable of switching in air are desired.
  • down-sizing an operating mechanism for operating electrical contacts is particularly effective. In order to simplify the operating mechanism, it is necessary to make small a separation force for separating contacts welded by joule heat at the time of current interruption. Further, because the contact between the electrical contacts accompanies sliding (friction) more or less, the electrical contacts should have good friction resistance and a small ware by sliding. Accordingly, the electrical contacts of this type should conduct and interrupt current in air without any problems, have a small separation force and have a good anti-wearing.
  • Patent document No. 1 discloses electrical contacts for use in air with high density, good electrical characteristics and properties.
  • the electrical contacts are made of a sintered body of Cu-W, Cu-Mo, etc impregnated with molten Cu to thereby densify them to improve electrical characteristics such as electrical conductivity.
  • the contacts materials contain a sliding property improving component such as BN, etc to improve air sliding properties.
  • Patent document no. 2 discloses an electrical contact for use in vacuum valves, which comprises a sintered material of a high conductive metal powder such as copper alloy containing Mg, Al, Ti, Cr, Zr, Sn, Sn, Zn, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn and/or Sn and a refractory metal powder such as Cr, W, Nb, Ta, Mo, Be, Hf, Ir, Pt, Zr, Ti, Si, Rh and/or Ru.
  • the electrical contacts are used for a vacuum valve.
  • the high conductive metal powder is an alloy of copper containing various metal elements, which increase electric resistance of the copper alloy even if an amount of alloying elements is small.
  • the alloying elements include such low melting point metals such as Al, Sn and Zn.
  • Patent document No. 3 discloses an electrical contact for a vacuum valve, which comprises a high electrical conductive metal such as copper alloy, active components such as metal oxides and a refractory metal such as titanium.
  • Electrical contact materials for switch devices are generally made of composite materials comprising a high electrical conductive metal and a refractory metal.
  • the refractory metal imparts anti-arc property and voltage withstanding performance to the electrical contacts.
  • the refractory metal has a melting point of 1800 °C or higher.
  • the high electrical conductive metal gives a high electrical conductivity to the electrical contact, which is typically copper and has a specific resistance of 3 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ cm or less at room temperature.
  • the electrical contact materials containing these elements should be free from defects and sound dense body so as to secure the good electrical conductivity.
  • the electrical contacts should be separated easily when the contacts are welded by joule heat at the time of current interruption.
  • the electrical contacts should preferably have a low mechanical strength.
  • the present invention provides:
  • the electrical contact according to the present invention contains a refractory metal selected from one of carbon, molybdenum and tungsten and copper as a high electrical conductive metal and a easily oxidizable metal having a standard free energy for formation of metal oxides being smaller than those of copper and the refractory metal and having a melting point higher than copper.
  • the electrical contact according to the present invention has an oxide layer of a hexagonal crystal structure on at least its surface opposed to the other contact.
  • the easily oxidizable metal is one or more selected from the group consisting of Co, Be, Fe, Si, Ti, Zr, B, V and Nb.
  • an electrical contact having good interrupting properties and low separation force for separating welded contacts for use in air, and to provide a switch device using the electrical contact.
  • the present inventors have conceived that in order to attain good anti-wearing properties (slidability) of electrical contacts in air, sliding between sliding faces of the opposed electrical contacts should be carried out by wearing with oxidation. That is, wearing should take place by means of oxides. That is, the larger the amount of oxides formed at the surfaces of the electrical contacts by temperature elevation by friction heat, the smaller the wearing amount (erosion loss) of the electrical contacts. This is because only the very surface composed of oxide film is removed by friction, which is regarded as oxidative wear. On the other hand, if an amount of oxides on the surfaces of the contacts is small, the contact between the electrical contacts is direct contact of metallic materials, which causes the electrical contacts to be adhered, separated or fallen down. These wearing states are adhesive wear or abrasive wear, in which a wear amount is large. Accordingly, the surfaces of the electrical contacts should preferably be easy to form oxides by friction heat.
  • separation or dissociation of the refractory metal particles and the high electrical conductive metal particles is important. Proper combinations of the refractory metal and the high electrical conductive metal cause the separation or dissociation to lower the mechanical strength of the contact material so that a separation force of the welded contacts can be lowered.
  • the easily oxidizable metal should have a melting point higher than copper so that in manufacturing the sintered contact material from the refractory metal powder, copper powder and the easily oxidizable metal powder it is possible to avoid formation of copper alloys wherein the easily oxidizable metals alloy with copper. That is it is possible to avoid increase of electrical resistance of copper.
  • the present inventors invented the electrical contact made of a sintered body comprising one refractory metal selected from the group consisting of carbon, molybdenum and tungsten, copper as the high electrical conductive metal and the easily oxidizable metal having the standard free energy for formation of oxides lower than those of the refractory metal and copper so that oxides of the easily oxidizable metals are formed on the surface of the contacts in air by friction heat in air.
  • the abrasion phenomenon becomes oxidative wear to suppress the wear of the contact. Since C, Mo and W do not react with or dissolve in copper, separation or dissociation of the refractory metals and copper easily takes place to lower the separation force.
  • the sintered contact material of the present invention is featured by the refractory metal powder particles, copper powder particles and the easily oxidizable metal powder particles being present in the sintered contact material without forming alloys with one another, wherein copper having the lowest melting point may work as a binding material for the powders.
  • the easily oxidizable metals form oxides of a hexagonal crystal structure.
  • the hexagonal crystals improve sliding property by self-lubricating effect by interlayer shearing of the hexagonal planes of the crystals to relief friction ware in the contact faces.
  • the easily oxidizable metals that satisfy the above requirements include Co, Be, Fe, Si, Ti, Zr, B, V and Nb. These metals are used singly or in combinations of two or more. These metals form easily oxides on the surface of the contacts by friction heat or the hexagonal crystals formed in the surface of the contact lowers abrasion wear or improve sliding properties.
  • an amount of the refractory metal should preferably be 1 to 60 % by volume per the volume of the contact. If the amount of the refractory metal is less than 1 % by volume, reduction in mechanical strength by separation or dissociation of the refractory metal and copper is insufficient, and reduction in separation force is insufficient. If the amount of the refractory metal is more than 60 % by volume, densification of the sintered body becomes insufficient and electrical resistance increases to bring about insufficient anti-adhesion and improper current conduction.
  • Preferable amounts of C, Mo and W are, by volume, C: 1.0 to 4.0 %, Mo: 8.0 to 32.0 %, and W: 15.3 to 60.0 %.
  • an amount of the easily oxidizable metal should preferably be 0.3 to 6 % by volume. If the amount is less than 0.3 %, formation of oxides is insufficient, which leads to insufficient improvement of the sliding properties. If the amount is larger than 6 %, an excessively thick oxide layer is formed in the surface of the contact to hinder electrical conduction.
  • a method of manufacturing the electrical contact of the present invention comprises mixing the refractory metal powder, copper powder and easily oxidizable metal powder, compression molding the mixed powder to produce a molding with a density of at least 65 %, and sintering the molding at a temperature lower than the melting point of copper (1083 °C).
  • the refractory metal powder particles, easily oxidizable metal powder particles and the copper powder particles are distributed homogeneously in the sintered body and there are separation gaps or voids among the refractory metal powder particles and copper powder particles so that the separation force of the welded contacts can be remarkably reduced.
  • the voids may be formed by shrinkage difference in thermal expansion coefficients of the refractory metal and copper, which are formed during cooling after the sintering.
  • the copper powder has a larger thermal expansion coefficient than the refractory metals, copper particles shrink more than the refractory metal particles, and the tensile force may generate in the copper particles. If the sintered body is cut for observing the sectional area the tensile force is released to form the voids in the sintered body. When a tensile force is applied to the sintered body, the tensile force is in the copper particles is released by destruction to form the voids. As having described above, formation of the tensile force in the copper particles near the interfaces of the particles is important. Therefore, a cooling rate of the sintered body should preferably be 6 to 35 °C/ min.
  • the easily oxidizable metal powder particles are present homogeneously in the contact material, it is possible to form an oxide layer in the surface thereof during the sliding in air. This oxide layer exhibits the sliding characteristics effectively.
  • the method of manufacturing the electrical contacts of the present invention may comprise heating the sintered body at 200 °C to 400 °C in air or an oxidative atmosphere so as to an oxide layer is formed in the surface of the sintered body to improve anti-wear property at the initial sliding state of the contact. If the heating temperature is lower than 200 °C, formation of oxide layer is insufficient, and if the temperature is higher than 400 °C, a thickness of the oxide layer becomes too large, which leads to cracks or peel-off of the oxide layer.
  • the switch device of the present invention uses a pair of the electrical contacts disposed at both ends of a conduction rod, which moves along an axis thereof in air to close or interrupt current.
  • the conduction rod with electrical contacts at both ends is moved by an operating mechanism whereby one of the electric contacts makes a contact with a closing electrode at the time of closing current.
  • the electric contact separates from the closing electrode and makes a contact with a disconnection electrode and the other electric contact makes a contact with an earthing electrode.
  • the switch device of the present invention is provided with an operation mechanism for moving the conduction rod having the electrical contacts.
  • the operating mechanism can be disposed in vacuum so that the closing of current and interruption of large current such as accident current can be carried out in vacuum and small current in switching of circuits are carried out in air. That is, according to current capacity, the operating mechanism can be used to provide switch devices with high reliability at low cost.
  • Raw materials were copper power having a particle size of 60 ⁇ m or less as the high conductive metal, Mo powder and W powder having a particle size of 63 ⁇ m, and Nb powder, Zr powder and Fe powder having a particle size of 5 ⁇ m or less as the easily oxidizable metal. These raw material powders were mixed in compositions shown in Table 1 using a V type mixer.
  • the mixed powders were filled in a metal mold having a disc form, and the filled powders were compression-molded under a pressure of 294 MPa to obtain moldings with a theoretical relative density of about 72 %. After the resulting moldings were heated in vacuum of 10 -2 Pa at 1060 °C for 2 hours, they were cooled at a cooling rate of about 13 °C/min. to produce electrical contact materials.

  • the contact material (No. 12) containing Mo exhibited an abrasion amount larger than the contact material (No. 13) containing W.
  • the contact materials (No. 1 to 5) containing Mo and the contact materials (No. 6 to 10) containing W exhibited small abrasion amounts. That is, it was confirmed that addition of the easily oxidizable metals improved the anti-abrasion.
  • the easily oxidizable metals are contained in the contact materials, friction heat produces brittle, a high melting point surface oxide layer is easily formed so that oxidative wear takes place by removing only oxide layer without adhesion.
  • the easily oxidizable metals are one or more of Nb, Zr, Fe (No. 2 to 4) and other metals such as Co, Be, Si, Ti, B and V.
  • An amount of the easily oxidizable metal should preferably be 0.3 to 6 volume % per the whole contact materials (No. 7 to No. 9).
