Customized Electrical Bi-Metal Contact

Customized Electrical Bi-Metal Contact

Customized Electrical Bi-Metal Contacts are functional conductive contact components made by combining a silver alloy contact layer with a copper substrate through a composite process. They can be used as moving or fixed contacts in various electrical switching systems. These products combine the excellent conductivity and arc resistance of silver alloys with the stable conductivity, thermal conductivity, and structural support of copper, making them widely applicable in new energy, power control, industrial relays, circuit breakers, contactors, and low-voltage electrical appliances. Compared to monolithic precious metal contacts, Bi-Metal Contacts achieve a more rational material structure configuration while maintaining core electrical performance.

Application of Customized Electrical Bi-Metal Contact

 

Design Advantages: Spatial Interplay Between 3D Topology and Arc Flow Field

 

Bounce Suppression and Mass Topology Optimization of Moving Contacts Moving contacts are prone to bounce at the moment of closing, triggering arc reignition. We use an asymmetric silver layer distribution design (e.g., thickening at the tail and thinning at the head) to precisely adjust the centroid position and moment of inertia of the Switch Bimetal Silver Contact, combined with the high elastic modulus of the silver alloy, effectively attenuating the mechanical bounce amplitude.
Magnetic Blowout Streamline Design of Stationary Contacts Considering the characteristic of the Silver Bimetal Rivet Contacts as the arc initiation point, we design the working surface of the silver alloy as a specific micro-curvature arc or slope, guiding the arc root to move rapidly towards the contact edge under the action of the Lorentz force, shortening the arc dwell time and reducing local ablation.
Bionic Stress Relief: Structure of the Interface At the interface between the silver layer and the copper substrate, a micro-concave-convex interlocking topology is designed. This three-dimensional interlocking structure not only increases the effective bonding area of ​​the interface but also transforms the single normal shear into a composite force state of normal and tangential under tangential impact, thus multiplying the interface's anti-peeling margin.

Production Process Overview

Material Incoming Inspection

Silver alloy wire (AgNi, AgSnO₂, etc.) and T2 copper wire undergo composition and dimensional testing, with accompanying material reports.

01

Pre-cleaning and End-face Cutting

Silver alloy wire and copper wire are simultaneously and precisely cut by an automatic feeding device, keeping the cut ends fresh, clean, free of oxidation and organic contamination-crucial for subsequent welding quality.

02

First Forming (Pre-forging and Centering)

The silver alloy wire and copper wire are precisely centered, and cold pressure is applied in the pre-forming cavity to initially bond them together.

03

Second Forming (Cold Forging and Final Forging)

Transferred to a cavity mold with the required head shape, higher pressure is applied to force the metal to diffuse outwards and fill the cavity, forming the final geometry of the rivet-like or sheet-like contact.

04

Stress-relieving heat treatment

The pre-made Bimetal Electric Rivet Contact is placed in a vacuum annealing furnace, heated to 380°C according to a specific temperature curve, and held at that temperature for about 1.5 hours. They are then slowly cooled to room temperature to eliminate internal stress from cold working and prevent oxidation.
