1、Designation: B692 90 (Reapproved 2012)Standard Specification for75 % Silver-25 % % Graphite Sliding Contact Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B692; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year
2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification defines the criteria for compositionand other requirements for brushes with a nominal silvercon
3、tent of 75 weight % with the balance being substantiallygraphite.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard do
4、es not purport to address all of 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 man
5、ufacturer, to establish appropriatesafety and health practices, and determine the applicability ofregulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Requirements3.1 Chemical Composition shall be as follows:Silver 75 6 3 % (weight)Graphite balanceTotal metal impurities 1 % maxPercent ash in graphite (ANSI C64.1) 5 % max3.2 Physical Prope
7、rtiesThe following lot average proper-ties must be met. Unless otherwise agreed between the pro-ducer and the user, the number of samples shall be five.3.2.1 DensityThe minimum acceptable density shall be4.6 g/cm3as determined by the measurement and weightmethod defined by ANSI C64.1.3.2.2 Shear Str
8、ength:3.2.2.1 The shear strength for the normal and transversedirections shall be measured for rectangular parallelepipedsand shall be 2000 psi (14 MPa), minimum.3.2.2.2 The shear strength for the longitudinal shear direc-tion shall be measured for cylinders and shall be 1000 psi (6.9MPa), minimum.3
9、.3 MicrostructureParts shall be visually free of structuraldefects, cracks, etc., upon examination at 503. The pressdirection, as evidenced by laminations, shall be as defined bythe purchase order. Also the brush material shall not containabrasive particles that will sliver a metal-alloy ring with a
10、hardness$110 HK100when the brush force is equal to 30 g orthat necessary for 5.0 psi (34 kPa) pressure, whichever isgreater. A sliver is defined as a loose wear particle with onedimension $503 the next smaller dimension. Although sliv-ering can be caused by coarse abrasive particles, other param-ete
11、rs can contribute to slivering (for example, very high brushforce).3.4 Source or Grade of Raw Materials (for example, graph-ite) or methods of manufacture shall not be changed withoutnotifying users.4. Reference Properties4.1 Because of their size, the following properties can notalways be determine
