Scope1.1 This specification covers electrical contact componentsmade from silver-molybdenum by powder metallurgical pro-cedures.1.

3、2 This specification covers compositions within the silver-molybdenum system normally specified by users of contacts.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all o

4、f thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to become familiarwith all hazards including those identified in the appropriateMaterial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/materialas provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropr

5、iatesafety and health practices, and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Chemical Composition4.1 The material shall conform to composition limits asagreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.4.2 The chemical analysis shall be made in accordance withthe methods prescr

8、ibed in the newest edition of Volume 01.02of the Annual Book of ASTM Standards or by any otherapproved method agreed upon between the manufacturer andthe purchaser.5. Physical Properties5.1 The manufacturer and the purchaser shall agree onqualification tests for determination of physical properties.

9、5.2 The tests shall be performed on production parts,wherever practical or applicable. (Small size contacts do notlend themselves to accurate conductivity measurement.)5.3 The tests shall be determined after consideration of thefunction of the part.5.4 The typical properties of two most common types

Since the performance ofcontacts in a device depends on numerous factors outside thecontact itself (opening speed, closing speed, contact pressure,contact bounce, environmental variations, assembly techniqueand variations, etc.), this specification cannot ensure perfor-mance control in th

17、e application.As part of the qualification oninitial samples, it is recommended that the user functionallyand electrically test the materials for all devices applicable tothe materials use. This specification will provide a means forthe contact manufacturer and contact user to reach agreementon the

18、details of the material to be supplied for a specific use,and reasonable assurance that future lots will be similar inproperties and microstructure to the initial test or samplecontacts supplied.10. Sampling10.1 LotUnless otherwise specified, a lot shall consist ofparts of the same form and dimensio

19、ns, made of powders of thesame particle size range and composition, processed under thesame conditions, and submitted for inspection at one time.10.2 Chemical Analysis:10.2.1 At least one sample for chemical analysis shall betaken from each lot. A representative sample of chips may beobtained by mil

20、ling, drilling, or crushing at least two pieceswith dry tools, without lubrication. In order to obtain oil-freechips, the parts selected for test shall have the oil extracted inaccordance with Test Method B328 if necessary.10.2.2 These specification limits do not preclude the pos-sible presence of o

21、ther unnamed elements, impurities, oradditives. Analysis shall be regularly made only for the minorelements listed in the table. However, if a user knows ofelements that might be detrimental to their application or hasother reasons for requiring analysis for specific elements, thenagreement between

22、manufacturer and purchaser for both limitsand methods of analysis should be required for elements notspecified.10.3 Physical TestsThe manufacturer and the purchasershall agree on a representative number of specimens forphysical tests including microstructure.11. Inspection11.1 Unless otherwise speci

23、fied, inspection of parts suppliedon contract shall be made by the purchaser.12. Rejection12.1 Unless otherwise specified, rejections based on testsmade in accordance with the specification shall be reported tothe manufacturer within 30 days of the receipt of shipment.13. Certification13.1 A certifi

24、cation, when requested by the user, based onthe manufacturers quality control that the material conforms tothe requirements of this specification, shall be furnished uponrequest of the purchaser, provided the request is made at thetime of cost quotation and at the time of order placement.14.
