Products Description

 

Trimetal Rivet Contacts

Trimetal Rivet Contacts features a three-layer composite contact structure developed for high-end relays and industrial control systems. Its head and feet are made of silver alloy, while the core is made of high-purity copper, achieving stable integration through metallurgical bonding and precision forming processes. This solution can replace integral silver contacts while ensuring conductivity, arc resistance, and weldability in the contact area, achieving approximately 30–50% material cost optimization.

 

Technical Features

 

Graded Functional Material Design

The composition and properties of the three layers are not abrupt, but rather a compositional gradient is created at the interface through process control, thereby mitigating thermal and mechanical stresses and improving thermal shock fatigue resistance for
Trimetal Silver Contacts.

 

Controllable Microstructure

By precisely controlling the composite rolling and heat treatment processes for Trimetal Electrical Contacts, ideal grain size and orientation can be obtained, optimizing the overall performance of the material's electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties.

 

Working Surface Topography Engineering

The Trimetal Contact Rivets working surface is not a simple plane; it can be designed as a sphere, plane, or specific curvature according to requirements to optimize the initial contact area, arc movement path, and wear distribution.

 

 

Trimetal Rivet Contacts can save costs 30-65 than Solid Silver Contacts

 

 

Advanced Manufacturing Process

 

 
 

Cold Forging

A multi-station cold forging machine is used to press the copper core into shape, ensuring a first-pass forming rate >98% and avoiding Trimetal Silver Electric Contact material density damage.

 
 
 

Platinum Deposition

Chemical or electroplating deposition is performed on the formed copper part to form a uniform silver alloy gold plating layer. The plating thickness is strictly controlled between 5-8 micrometers to ensure sufficient conductivity for Trimetal Rivet Electrical Contact.

 
 
 

Automated Assembly

The head, copper core, and feet are riveted together using a high-precision assembly line to form a complete three-composite structure for Electric Double Metal Contact Rivet.

Material Advantages

Contact Layer Material

Utilizes silver alloys including AgNi, AgCdO, and AgSnO2, with a thickness of 0.2-0.5mm. Silver alloys offer excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and arc resistance, ensuring Multi-layer Silver Contacts long-term stable operation.

Intermediate Layer Material

Copper or copper alloy serves as a transition layer, with a thickness of 0.5-0.8mm. The copper layer provides a low-resistance current path and acts as a buffer between the silver and steel layers, reducing interfacial stress for Tri-metal Rivet Contacts.

Rivet Layer Material

Cold-rolled low-carbon steel or copper-nickel alloy provides mechanical strength and a weldable foundation. The steel layer ensures overall Electrical Trimetal Rivet Contacts rigidity and installation stability while reducing overall material costs.
