Abstract (en)

[origin: JPS6452346A] PURPOSE: To improve the contact resistance and contact heating by composing the material for electrical contact of iron, one or several kinds of specified additive, and silver as residual. CONSTITUTION: Silver-iron material, which is composed of iron at 3-30wt.%, additive, namely, one or several kinds of manganese, lead, antimony. bismuth oxide, molybdenum oxide, tungsten oxide, chrome nitride at 0.05-5wt.% as a total and silver as residual, is used. An oxide layer is influenced by the additive so as to have excellent stability in relation to melting and a low contact resistance. Contact heating is thereby restricted as small as possible, and long lifetime and wide use range can be obtained in relation to intensity of the contact current.
