AgC materials prepared by extrusion method have good welding resistance, low and steady contact resistance and small temperature rise, its welding resistance capacity will increase with the increase of graphite content, but its resistance will also increase and its conductivity will become worse.
Compared with ordinary AgC materials with vertical structure, AgC materials with parallel structure do not only change the structure of materials, but also change the motion mode of electrons in current; for AgC materials with parallel structure, their processing mode is different from that of ordinary AgC materials with vertical structure, and they can acquire denser AgC materials than ordinary AgC materials with vertical structure.
It is generally used as static contact and applied in pairs with Cu, AgNi, AgW, AgWC and other materials to molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), molded case circuit breaker (MCCB), leakage protection switch or motor start switch, etc.
