Abstract: 501,379. Coating metals; switch contacts. SIMMS, F. R., and COMPOUND ELECTRO METALS, Ltd. Nov. 6, 1937, No. 30524. [Class 82 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXVII] Composite metals, particularly for use as electric contacts, are formed of a supporting body comprising a refractory metal, such as tungsten, tantalum, molybdenum, or their alloys, mixed with a more fusible metal such as copper, silver, lead, zinc, tin, cadmium, or aluminium, and a surface layer of a precious metal or precious metal alloy which is alloyed wholly or partially with the more fusible metal of the base. Suitable precious metals are gold, silver, iridium, osmium, ruthenium, rhodium, and their alloys. The precious metal may be applied to the base in the form of powder, compressed powder, granules, foil, or foils compacted into plates, and the alloying is effected by heating to a temperature above the melting point of the more fusible metal of the base. For example, the base may be formed by mixing 70 per cent of tungsten and 30 per cent of silver and compacting under pressure at a temperature near the melting point of silver; the base is then shaped to form an electric contact, one or more foils of platinum are applied and the body is heated to above the melting point of silver. A base may be formed by pressing and sintering tungsten powder an immersing it in molten copper ; this is then shaped, covered with thin platinumiridium sheets and heated to 1100‹ C. In another example a copper-tungsten body is covered with silver foil and heated.
