Production and application of a silver-base electrical contact material with a liquid lubricant

  • Published:
Soviet Powder Metallurgy and Metal Ceramics Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The addition of gallium enables pure silver and silver alloyed with nickel, cadmium, or palladium to be employed as materials for sliding contacts breaking currents of up to 10 A.

  2. 2.

    The best method of manufacture of such contacts, ensuring an even distribution of gallium in the free state throughout the whole contact volume, is low-temperature sintering under pressure.
