真空介质中铜钨合金电极耐烧蚀性能分析

Analysis of the Ablation Resistance of Copper-Tungsten Alloy Electrodes in Vacuum Medium

  • 摘要: CuW合金作为大电流真空接触器用触头材料,其材料性能直接影响真空开关的工作性能与服役寿命。其中,Cu相与W相的物性与晶胞组织结构存在差异,使得CuW电极在电弧作用下的微观损伤行为表现各异。本文构建CuW80合金电极双温粒子动力学模型,模拟其在不同功率密度下的烧蚀过程。仿真结果表明,功率密度升高将加剧燃弧阶段电极表面温升、热扩散与局部热应力,导致电极质量损失与烧蚀深度增加,持续存在蒸发现象,呈现非平衡演化特征。在低功率密度下,温升变化相对缓和,电极表面烧蚀较轻,热应力集中于局部区域;在高功率密度下,表面迅速熔化并发生剧烈蒸发,界面热破坏加剧,电极损伤更趋严重,热量在CuW两相结构中非均匀传输引发界面破坏。

     

    Abstract: The material properties of CuW alloy, used as electrode material in large current vacuum contactors, influence the operational performance and service life of the vacuum switches. Due to the differences in the physical properties and crystal structures between the Cu phase and W phase, the microscopic damage behavior of CuW electrodes under the influence of arcs exhibits distinct characteristics. In this paper, a dual-temperature particle model of CuW80 alloy electrodes is proposed, and the ablation process is simulated under different power densities. Simulation results show that the increase in power density exacerbates the surface temperature of the electrodes rise, thermal diffusion, and local thermal stress during the arcing process, resulting in an increase in electrode mass loss and ablation depth, and a persistent evaporation phenomenon, exhibiting non-equilibrium evolution characteristics. At low power density conditions, the temperature rise shows a relatively mild variation, the electrode surface erosion is light, and the thermal stress is concentrated in a local area; at high power density, the surface rapidly melts and undergoes violent evaporation, leading to intensified interface thermal damage and more severe electrode damage. Non-uniform heat transfer in the CuW two-phase structure causes interface damage.
