Abstract:
In an electrical contact in which aggregation phases including Cu are dispersed in a matrix phase including Mo, Cr, and Cu, a maximum grain size of the aggregation phases falls in a range of 4 to 20 μm and, when the total Cu content in the electrical contact is denoted by Wt, the Cu content in the matrix phase is expressed by C×Wt, where C ranges from 0.54 to 0.81. A process for producing an electrical contact including Mo, Cr, and Cu includes a step of compacting mixed Mo and Cr powders, thus forming a powder-compression compact and a step of making the powder-compression compact infiltrated with molten Cu.
Abstract:
An electrode for a vacuum circuit breaker comprises a cylindrical conducting body, a contact electrode as a combination electrode, and a plurality of slits provided on a surface area of the cylindrical conducting body, the slits being inclined with respect to an axial direction of the cylindrical conducting body, wherein an angle between the slits and the axial direction of the cylindrical conducting body is smaller as the slit becomes farther away from the contact electrode.
