Bimetal Electric Rivet Contact

Bimetal Electric Rivet Contact, a core component of electrical contact systems, is essentially a contact element that achieves its contact function through a bimetallic composite structure. Unlike ordinary solid silver contacts, this product uses a composite form of silver alloy and copper. The silver alloy layer (typically AgNi, AgCdO, AgSnO2, etc.) serves as the working contact surface, while the copper substrate provides mechanical support and conductive channels, effectively controlling material costs while ensuring performance.

Products Description

 

Bimetal Electric Rivet Contact

 

Bimetal Electric Rivet Contact is an electrical contact element made by combining a silver alloy contact layer with a copper substrate through a composite process. It is widely used in relays, contactors, switches, circuit breakers, and various low-voltage electrical products.

Its core function is to conduct electricity, carry current, interrupt circuits, and resist arc erosion during circuit connection and disconnection, while also ensuring mechanical connection strength and long-term operational reliability.

 

 

Differentiated Manufacturing Advantages

High-Precision Cold Forging 3D Composite Forming

Equipped with an advanced multi-station fully automated composite cold forging unit, silver and copper wires are precisely cut, arranged, and extruded online in a single process, eliminating any waste and ensuring high consistency in the dimensional chain for large-volume deliveries for Bimetal Ag/Cu Silver Contact Riveting.

Interfacial Atomic-Level Diffusion Excitation Technology

Applying ultra-high unit pressure within the forming cavity instantly disrupts the microscopic oxide film on the metal surface of Switch Bimetal Silver Contact, activating the interfacial diffusion lattice of silver and copper at room temperature or slightly elevated temperatures. The solid solution bonding strength exceeds the shear limit of the base material itself.

Detailed Display

Silver-Copper Interface Bonding Line

Under a 50x microscope, the interface between the silver layer and the copper substrate exhibits a uniform, wavy transition, free of inclusions and pores-a hallmark of excellent metallurgical bonding for Bimetal Silver Rivet Contacts for Electric Power.

 

Silver Layer Thickness Uniformity

The silver layer thickness at the contact head is uniformly distributed circumferentially, with the thinnest point not less than 85% of the design value, ensuring complete silver layer coverage throughout the Silver Bimetal Rivet Contacts's lifespan.

 

Convexed Head

The contact head edge is chamfered with a radius of R0.2-0.5mm to reduce edge stress concentration and prevent cracking during riveting of Electrical Contact Point for Switches.

Frequently Asked Questions


1. What silver alloy material options are available for Button Bimetal Rivet Electrical Contact?

We offer materials such as AgNi, AgCdO, AgSnO2, and AgZnO, which can be selected according to the current rating and application environment.

 

2. What is the difference between Switch Bimetal Silver Contact and solid silver contacts?

Solid silver contacts are made entirely of silver-based materials, while bimetallic contacts only use silver alloy in the working area, with structural support provided by a copper substrate, thus achieving higher material utilization.

 

3. How is the bonding between the silver layer and the copper substrate guaranteed?

We use a high-temperature, high-pressure pressing process, with a silver layer thickness of 0.1mm or more, ensuring the bonding strength meets application requirements for Bimetal Ag/Cu Silver Contact Riveting.
