Abstract

Abstract This invention provides a vacuum type breaker contact material prepared by infiltrating copper into a sintered tungsten matrix, wherein elementary particle size and the growth of the particle size by heat processing are controlled in such a manner that the ratio of the largest value/the smallest value of tungsten particle size becomes not more than 10, and that the maximum value of tungsten particle size is not larger than 2 μm and the minimum value of tungsten particle size is not smaller than 0.3 μm.
