Description

本发明属于铜-铬基合金。主要适用于真空断器路的触头材料。The invention belongs to copper-chromium base alloy. Mainly suitable for contact material of vacuum breaker circuit.

真空断路器由于它的一系列优点而日益被广泛地应用于各工业部门,已成为目前中、高开关电器的主要发展方向。它要求触头材料具有高的绝缘强度、大的开断能力、小的电腐蚀,高的机械强度、低的熔焊倾向、低的截流值和能维持空真空下的可靠操作等。Due to its series of advantages, vacuum circuit breakers are increasingly widely used in various industrial sectors, and have become the main development direction of medium and high-level switching appliances. It requires the contact material to have high dielectric strength, large breaking capacity, small electrical corrosion, high mechanical strength, low welding tendency, low cut-off value and reliable operation under vacuum.

目前使用的真空触头材料有铜-钨、铜-铋及铜-铬等。铜-钨触头具有高的绝缘强度、小的电腐蚀和好的机械性能,但当开断大电流时,由于钨的高的热电子发射作用而产生开断失败。因此只能用于小于10KA的较小开断电流的场合(特开昭55-78429)。铜-铋触头具有好的抗熔焊能力和高的导电性能,但由于铋的低熔点和高的挥发性,铜-铋触头的绝缘强度较低,电腐蚀大,不宜用于电压较高、电流较大的真空断路器。铜-铬合金是目前用得最多的真空断路器触头材料,它具有比较好的综合性能,能够满足大部分真空断路器的使用要求。但目前使用的铜-铬真空触头仍存在抗熔焊性能较差、截流值较高和材料的相对密度较低等缺点。The vacuum contact materials currently used include copper-tungsten, copper-bismuth and copper-chromium. Copper-tungsten contacts have high dielectric strength, small electrical corrosion and good mechanical properties, but when breaking a large current, breaking failure occurs due to the high thermal electron emission of tungsten. Therefore, it can only be used in occasions with a small breaking current of less than 10KA (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-78429). Copper-bismuth contacts have good welding resistance and high electrical conductivity, but due to the low melting point and high volatility of bismuth, the copper-bismuth contacts have low insulation strength and high electrical corrosion, so they are not suitable for use in high-voltage applications. High, high current vacuum circuit breaker. Copper-chromium alloy is currently the most widely used contact material for vacuum circuit breakers. It has relatively good comprehensive performance and can meet the requirements of most vacuum circuit breakers. However, the currently used copper-chromium vacuum contacts still have disadvantages such as poor anti-welding performance, high interception value and low relative density of materials.

中国发明专利申请公开说明书CN85108080A提供了另一种真空触头材料,它是在铜铬钼合金中加入铌或钽,可以提高其分断特性和耐电压特性。它的耐电压性能为铜-铬触头的1.2-1.5倍,分断电压为7.2KV和12.5KV。但这种触头的分断电压仍不能满足更高电压的分断要求;另外,钼、铌、钽均为价格昂贵的稀有金属,故该触头材料成本高。Chinese Invention Patent Application Publication No. CN85108080A provides another vacuum contact material, which adds niobium or tantalum to copper-chromium-molybdenum alloy, which can improve its breaking characteristics and withstand voltage characteristics. Its withstand voltage performance is 1.2-1.5 times that of copper-chromium contacts, and its breaking voltage is 7.2KV and 12.5KV. However, the breaking voltage of this contact still cannot meet the breaking requirements of higher voltages; in addition, molybdenum, niobium, and tantalum are all expensive rare metals, so the cost of the contact material is high.

本发明的目的在于提供一种新的真空断路器触头材料,该触头材料不仅绝缘强度和机械强度高,熔焊倾向小和截流值低,而且分断电流大,分断电压更高,能用于更高电压等级的真空断路器。The object of the present invention is to provide a new contact material for a vacuum circuit breaker. The contact material not only has high dielectric strength and mechanical strength, but also has a small welding tendency and a low interception value, and has a large breaking current and a higher breaking voltage. Vacuum circuit breakers at higher voltage levels.

针对上述目的,本发明提供了一种铜-铬-铁系的新触头材料,在铜铬合金基础上加铁。In view of the above purpose, the present invention provides a new contact material of copper-chromium-iron system, in which iron is added on the basis of copper-chromium alloy.

铜作为基本的合金组元,提供了好的导电导热性能及其它基本性能,满足触头材料可通过足够大的电流能力。另一个主要组元是铬,它具有较铜高得多的熔点和强度,并少量溶解铜,提高触头材料的机械强度、高温性能、抗电弧能力和耐电压性能;同时,铬与氧、氮等气体元素具有高的化学亲和力,使之作为触头材料,在真空开关管内具有吸气和保持高真空度的重要作用。第三个组元为铁,它的熔点高于铜低于铬,因此,在同样的烧结或熔渗温度下,它较铬更易扩散溶解于铜,并与铬形成铁铬合金,这样,分别提高了铜相和铬相的硬度和强度,进一步提高触头材料的机械强度、抗电弧能力和耐电压性能;而且,铁还同时与铬及铜形成合金,使触头材料无论在烧结或熔渗时提高合金的致密化程度,得到高密度的材料,同时,由于铁与铜及铬形成了较硬和较脆的合金,当真空开关分断时,降低了所需的分断力,即改进了触头材料的抗熔焊性能;此外,根据触头材料截流值的规律,三元合金的截流值低于二元合金的截流值,故本发明铜-铬-铁触头材料的截流值较铜-铬等触头材料进一步降低。Copper, as a basic alloy component, provides good electrical and thermal conductivity and other basic properties to meet the ability of the contact material to pass a large enough current. Another main component is chromium, which has a much higher melting point and strength than copper, and dissolves copper in a small amount to improve the mechanical strength, high temperature performance, arc resistance and voltage resistance of the contact material; at the same time, chromium and oxygen, Nitrogen and other gas elements have a high chemical affinity, so that as a contact material, they play an important role in getting gas and maintaining high vacuum in the vacuum switch tube. The third component is iron, whose melting point is higher than that of copper and lower than that of chromium. Therefore, at the same sintering or infiltration temperature, it is easier to diffuse and dissolve in copper than chromium, and forms an iron-chromium alloy with chromium. In this way, respectively The hardness and strength of the copper phase and the chromium phase are improved, and the mechanical strength, arc resistance and voltage resistance of the contact material are further improved; moreover, iron also forms an alloy with chromium and copper at the same time, so that the contact material can be sintered or melted Infiltration increases the densification of the alloy to obtain a high-density material. At the same time, because iron, copper and chromium form a harder and brittle alloy, when the vacuum switch is broken, the required breaking force is reduced, that is, improved. The welding resistance of the contact material; in addition, according to the law of the cut-off value of the contact material, the cut-off value of the ternary alloy is lower than that of the binary alloy, so the cut-off value of the copper-chromium-iron contact material of the present invention is lower than that of the binary alloy. Contact materials such as copper-chromium are further reduced.

综上所述,本发明真空触头材料的具体化学成分(重量%)为Cu47-72%,Cr25-51%,Fe2-6%。To sum up, the specific chemical composition (weight %) of the vacuum contact material of the present invention is Cu47-72%, Cr25-51%, Fe2-6%.
