A new electrocontact materal based on silver has been obtained. The material has been dispersion-strengthened by nanopowders of zinc oxide, stannum oxide and titanium oxide. The microstructure and elemental composition of the phases have been formed at solid-phase sintering and electroerosion tests have been studied by the methods of scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electroerosion wear and transitional resistivity have been determined as a result of laboratory testing. The developed electrocontact materal has demonstrated physical, mechanical and exploitational properties similar to the properties of an electrocontact materal based on toxic cadmium oxide
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
