About Electrical Contact and Electrode Materials

Electrical contact and electrode materials consist of soft, high conductivity, oxidation resistant materials, often with a second phase to provide anti-welding and/or arc-resistance. They are used in circuit breakers, relays and for EDM applications.  Additional material applications for electrical contact and electrode materials include EDM electrode materials, electrical brush / sliding contact materials, electrical contact materials, electrochemical / battery electrode, furnace electrode (arc), and welding electrode material.  Specific material types include brass, carbon-amorphous, graphite, copper, copper graphite, copper tellurium, copper tungsten, copper zirconium diboride, gold or gold alloy, electrographite, metal graphite, molybdenum, palladium or palladium alloys, platinum or platinum alloys, plated base metal, resin bonded graphite, silver or silver alloys, silver copper, silver cadmium oxide, silver graphite, silver molybdenum, silver nickel, silver tin oxide, silver tungsten, silver tungsten carbide, tungsten, and tungsten carbide.


Products & Services Related to Electrical Contact and Electrode Materials

EDM Electrode Materials
EDM electrode materials and components consist of highly conductivity and/or arc erosion resistant materials such as graphite, copper or copper graphite.
Electrical Brushes and Brush Materials
Electrical brushes and brush materials are used in conjunction with slip rings, commutators or other contact surfaces to maintain an electrical connection in rotary and linear sliding contact applications.
Electrical Contacts and Contact Materials
Electrical contacts and contact materials are soft, high-conductivity, oxidation- resistant materials that are used in circuit breakers, relays, switches, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) applications.  They often have a second phase in order to provide anti-welding and/or arc resistance.
