Electrical contacts, for use in contactors and circuit breakers, mainly govern the lifetime of electrical devices. Silver-based metal matrix composites (MMC's) are commonly employed to set and break the electrical contact. This kind of MMC is currently produced using powder metallurgy (P/M) operations before being brazed on copper substrates. The cold gas dynamic process could be an alternative to this classical P/M route. This process is based on the acceleration of powder particles through a De Laval nozzle. Then, particles impinge on a susbtrate to form a dense and oxide-free coating. The objective of the present work is to demonstrate the feasibility of the process for achieving electrical contacts. The spraying of silver powder has bee...
