Enhancement of Arc Erosion Resistance in AgCuO Electrical Contact Materials through Rare Earth Element Doping: First-Principles and Experimental Studies
Abstract:To investigate the stability and electrical and physical properties of undoped CuO and CuO doped with rare earth elements, electronic structures and elastic constants were calculated using first-principles density functional theory. Additionally, experimental verification was carried out on AgCuO and AgCuO-X (La, Ce, Y) electrical contacts, which were prepared using sol–gel and powder metallurgy methods. The contacts were tested under an 18 V/15 A DC resistive load using the JF04D contact material testing syst… Show more
