Description

The paper presents results of investigations of surface of contacts made of composite materials tungsten carbide - silver (WC - Ag30 and WC - Ag40) after arc operation with the breaking of 6 kA and 10 kA current. The composite materials were made using the press - sinter-infiltration method. The paper comprises discussion of findings and interpretation of phenomena occurring as a result of the action of arc.
