Method for producing a component of a vacuum interrupter

Abstract

A method produces a component of a vacuum interrupter, such as a cover or a shielding part. These components are produced having a layer of a solder material. According to the method, the coating with the solder material is carried out by thermal spraying, in particular cold gas spraying. The components can be partially coated and only in a partial region. After developing the solder connection, the material flows out of the connection regions into the developing solder connection. Coating by thermal spraying allows larger components, such as housing components, to be partially coated and, in comparison. If electro-thermally silver-coating avoided, a more cost-effective production of the vacuum interrupter is possible.
