Abstract:In order to get a deep understanding of the effect of internal electrical field on the electrical breakdown properties of contact materials, two kinds of W-Cu and Cr-Cu joints were prepared in a vacuum sintering furnace. The vacuum breakdown tests were respectively performed at the interface of two joints and pure metal ends in an arc extinguishing chamber, and the surface morphologies after electrical breakdown 50 times were characterized by a scanning electron microscopy equipped with an energy dispersive sp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
