This book is a completely revised and rewritten edition of" Electric Contacts Handbook"
published in 1958. A large number of new in vestigations are considered, and many of the …

Covering the theory, application, and testing of contact materials, Electrical Contacts:
Principles and Applications, Second Edition introduces a thorough discussion on making …

Copper-graphite composites in reciprocating sliding against copper are investigated with
regards to friction, wear and contact resistance. The tribological and electrical evaluation is …

All solid surfaces are rough on the microscale. Surface microroughness consists of peaks
and valleys whose shape, height variations, average separation and other geometrical …

The mechanism of electrical contact resistance between lightly loaded sliding surfaces was
investigated. It was found that the increase in contact resistance of non-noble or base metal …

This practical resource introduces electrical and electronic principles and technology
covering theory through detailed examples, enabling students to develop a sound …

For sliding electrical contacts a combination of satisfactory current transfer and good
tribological performance is desired. A complete tribo-electrical study is presented where a …
