ELECTRIC CONTACT MATERIAL COMPOSED OF SILVERRTIN OXIDE BASED ALLOY AND OTHER SILVERRMETAL OXIDE ALLOY

摘要

Internally oxidized Ag-Sn alloy electrical contact materials have their electrical characteristics improved by being compounded with other Ag alloys containing metal elements which are in solid solution with Ag and are internally oxidizable. Compounds obtained in accordance with this invention include microscopic silver grain matrices containing Sn oxides and other silver grain matrices which contain metallic oxides of the said other Ag alloys and are intercoalesced with each other and with the first mentioned silver grain matrices, and present macroscopically improved electric characteristics as if they were a single alloy.
