An internally oxidized Cd alloy was first developed. However, in order to prevent pollution, it is desired to avoid the use of Cd, and internally oxidized Ag—Sn alloys have been widely used recently. It is extremely difficult to uniformly disperse Sn in the Ag alloy and internally oxidize it. Therefore, In is added to the Ag—Sn alloy to internally oxidize the Ag—Sn—In alloy.
An internal oxidation electrical contact material is used.

期待されるところである。The electrical contact material obtained by internally oxidizing this Ag--Sn--In alloy is excellent in various characteristics as an electrical contact, and
Although it is not inferior to the electrical contact material in g-Cd oxide, it is expected to make a further improvement in terms of stability of contact resistance.

ことが見出された。In the wood invention, 0.1 to 7 wt% Tl is added to an Ag alloy containing 3 to 15 wt% Sn.
(Thallium) was added to internal oxidize the alloy. T
It has been found that l has no pollution like Cd and can oxidize Sn in Ag much more uniformly than in the case of using In.

ある。Also, because Tl oxide has a melting point and vapor point similar to Cd oxide, Ag-Sn oxide electrical contacts containing Tl oxide, similar to Ag-Cd oxide contact materials. The contact surface of the material is self-cleaning. This greatly contributes to the stabilization of the contact resistance of the contact.

Agと固溶し得る範囲内にある。The lower limit of 3% by weight of Sn used in the Ag alloy of the present invention is an amount necessary for making the obtained contact material refractory, and the upper limit of 15% by weight is the obtained contact material. This is an amount for preventing the workability of the material from being extremely impaired. The lower limit of 0.1% by weight of Tl is the minimum amount for promoting the above internal oxidation of Sn in Ag and for ensuring the self-cleaning property of the contact surface, and the upper limit of 7%. The weight% is an amount for leaving workability in the obtained contact material. The above-mentioned weight% of Sn and Tl are both within the range where they can form a solid solution with Ag.
