Composite materials

A composite material for electrical switch contact elements for use in power-supply systems is improved by acquiring an optimum combination of resistance to fusion, resistance to burn-off and low generation of heat. For this purpose, particles 1 of a non- metallic component e.g. graphite are coated...

Zusammenfassung:A composite material for electrical switch contact elements for use in power-supply systems is improved by acquiring an optimum combination of resistance to fusion, resistance to burn-off and low generation of heat. For this purpose, particles 1 of a non- metallic component e.g. graphite are coated with a base metallic component 2 e.g. nickel or copper. and these coated particles are embedded in a noble-metal component e.g. silver to form a matrix 3.
