Arc erosion mechanism of Ag-Ta2AlC electrical contact materials

Caption

Ag-Ta2AlC composite materials were prepared using the hot pressing sintering method, and the arc erosion properties of these materials with varying compositions were studied. The arc is dispersed over the surface of Ag-30%Ta2AlC, exhibiting the lowest arc energy and the shortest arcing time, suggesting that Ag-Ta2AlC has the potential to be a new silver-based electrical contact material.
