Manufacturing Technique and Properties of Condensed Copper-Carbon Composite Materials for Sliding Electrical Contacts

Abstract

The production technology, structure, electrical conductivity, coefficient of friction, hardness, strength, and plasticity over a temperature range of 290 - 870 K of laminated copper-carbonic composites for sliding electrical contacts of current-collecting devices obtained by electron-beam evaporation and vapor condensation are studied.
