Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of surface treatment production of current-carrying, breaking circuit electric contact pieces in the manufacture of electrical switches, relays, contactors, circuit breakers and the like, in particular to a failure detection method and regulation system for corrosion inhibition treatment of silver alloy electric contact pieces. BACKGROUND
[0002] The electric contact piece is one of the key components for carrying current and breaking circuit in the manufacture of electrical switches, relays, contactors, circuit breakers and the like, and its quality is a major factor determining the service life of electrical equipment. Silver-based contacts have been the preferred material for high-end contacts for a long time due to their excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, resistance to arc ablation and low self-loss. Silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact devices, as core electric contact components of electrical equipment, usually use silver-based materials to achieve excellent electrical conductivity, but the surface is easily corroded by environmental media during production and use. H2O molecules and Cl - corrosive ions in the environmental medium can also penetrate to the interface through silver layer defects, exacerbating corrosion and deteriorating contact resistance stability. This corrosion is hidden and often not discovered until the product testing stage. The residual corrosive contaminants themselves have high resistance characteristics, or can induce subsequent continuous corrosion (including accelerated oxidation of alloy elements), ultimately leading to a significant increase in contact resistance and deterioration of stability, affecting the on-off reliability of the equipment.
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned electric corrosion problem, an inhibitor is usually added during the cleaning process of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece. The inhibitor forms an effective release film on the surface of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece, and a dense protective layer is built on the metal surface. This protective layer can effectively isolate the metal from direct contact with H2O, Cl - and other corrosive media, thereby inhibiting the metal corrosion reaction and effectively protecting the metal surface of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece. Of course, in the back-end cleaning and protection process of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece, contact resistance detection is performed for sampling inspection to ensure that an effective release film is formed on the surface of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece, thereby ensuring that the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact piece is effectively protected. However, in the existing technology, contact resistance detection relies on destructive sampling inspection, which is low in efficiency, cannot be fully covered and is prone to lag. In the process of detection, when a worker detects that one of the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact pieces has a release film failure, the silver alloy sheet-shaped electric contact pieces in the back-end cleaning process have actually occurred in batches. SUMMARY

[0019] Further, in step S3, the back-end processing flow is carried out according to the following method:
[0020] S4: when d ox > d1, it is determined that the pickling is insufficient; wherein d1 is the oxide film threshold, unit: nm;
[0021] S5: when d org< d2, it is determined that the corrosion inhibitor is invalid, and when d org > d3, it is determined that the corrosion inhibitor concentration is too high, wherein d2, d3 is the organic film threshold, unit: nm.

[0054] Embodiment 1

The electrical contact piece is AgSnO2In2O3 contact, the diameter of the electrical contact piece used is 4 mm, and the surface of the electrical contact piece is characterized by an ellipsometer (SENTECH, SEUV800, Germany). The instrument is equipped with a xenon lamp and a halogen lamp, the measurement range is 701 wavelength units of 200~900nm, and the organic protective film thickness d org = 0 nm and the oxide film thickness d ox = 1.22 nm of the surface of the electrical contact piece are obtained in real time by ellipsometric spectroscopy. Wherein, R const , the calculation formula of which is,
[0056] R const = 500×ρ×sqrt(π×H / F) (2)

[0058] R is calculated by formula (1) const =1.507 mΩ, which is determined by the inherent properties of the material and the contact pressure, and is irrelevant to the film layer.
[0059] In formula (1), R org is calculated as follows:
[0060] R org =ρ org ×d org ×10 -6 / A nom (3)
[0061] ρ org is the resistivity of the organic film, ρ org =0.78 Ω·m, A nom is the nominal contact area of the electrical contact piece, the diameter of the electrical contact piece is 4 mm, and the nominal contact area can be calculated as 1.256×10 -5 m 2 , R org =0 mΩ is calculated by formula (3).
[0062] In formula (1), R ox is the resistance function related to the thickness of the oxide film, which is dominated by the quantum tunneling effect of the metal surface oxide layer, and is calculated as follows:
[0063] R ox =h 2 ×d ox ×exp[4×π×d ox ×sqrt(2×m×Phi) / h] / [A nom ×e 2 ×sqrt(2×m×Phi)] (4)

A resistance prediction unit, which is built-in with the preset film thickness-contact resistance correlation model, receives the organic protective film thickness d transmitted from the control mainboard org and the oxide film thickness d ox According to the preset film thickness-contact resistance correlation model, the R c =R const +R org +R ox predicted R c value is obtained, and the predicted R c value is transmitted to the next processing unit; a process decision unit receiving R c value transmitted from the resistance prediction unit, and transmitting an execution signal to a next process unit when the contact resistance R c > 25 mΩ is predicted. The actuator receives the execution signal from the process decision unit and sorts the unqualified electrical contact piece into the corresponding rework process tank.
