Abstract
The effect of tribological wear of contacts made from an AgNi10 alloy on microstructure and electrical properties was investigated. The contacts were tested in duty cycles loaded with alternating current of 10A intensity. With this value of the current, intensive arcing of contacts occurred. The contacts were tested in the range of 125 to 500 thousand cycles. The contacting surfaces were reported to suffer a high degree of wear, but electrical resistance of the contact system remained stable.
