AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When copper is used as an electrical contact material, under the action of contact resistance and arc, the temperature of the contact surface rises sharply, and the cuprous oxide on the contact surface is converted into copper oxide (CuO), forming an oxide film that is not easy to conduct electricity. resulting in electrical contact failure

Abstract

The invention provides a method for manufacturing a copper alloy electrical contact material with good oxidation resistance. ), boron, aluminum, silver, conductive ceramics (one or a combination of TiN2, SnO2), diamond powder, copper, after powder making, mechanical powder mixing, isostatic pressing, sintering, extrusion, forming processing , can be made into various electrical contact elements as required. The electrical contact element produced by this method overcomes the disadvantage of the weak oxidation resistance of the existing copper alloy electrical contact element, and can be used in the field of low-voltage electrical appliances instead of silver alloy electrical contacts, therefore, it can overcome the disadvantages of silver alloy electrical contact elements. The high cost brought by the use of precious metal silver is not conducive to the disadvantages of sustainable social development.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of manufacturing technology of electrical alloy materials, mainly the manufacture of copper alloy electrical contact materials. Background technique [0002] Copper alloys are usually manufactured by smelting or powder metallurgy methods, and copper alloy electrical contact materials for low-voltage electrical appliances are often manufactured by powder metallurgy methods. [0003] Copper has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, second only to silver. At room temperature, the electrical conductivity of copper is 94% of that of silver, and its thermal conductivity is 73.2% of that of silver. However, copper is much cheaper than silver. Therefore, in electrical contact materials Replacing silver alloys with copper alloys can save precious metal silver, reduce product costs, and achieve sustainable social development. [0004] But copper has a big disadvantage, that is, the surface of copper is easil...
