Correlation between Wear Resistance and Lifetime of Electrical Contacts
Figure 22
(a) Microscopy of contact area (average depth of wear crater: 4 μm, contacts survive a 50,000-cycle test, nanoscale particles modified plating of 0.8 μm). (b) Microscopy of contact area (average depth of wear crater: 6 μm, contacts fail at 50,000-cycle, nanoscale particles modified plating of 0.8 μm).
