Abstract EN
Electrical contacts are usually plated in order to prevent corrosion.
Platings of detachable electrical contacts experience wear because of the motion between contacts.
Once the protecting platings have been worn out, electrical contacts will fail rapidly due to corrosion or fretting corrosion.
Therefore the wear resistance of the platings is a very important parameter for the long lifetime of electrical contacts.
Many measures which improve the wear resistance can diminish the conductivity of the platings.
Due to the fact that platings of electrical contacts must have both a high wear resistance and a high electrical conductivity, the manufacturing of high performance platings of electrical contacts poses a great challenge.
Our study shows firstly the correlation between the wear resistance of platings and lifetime of electrical contacts and then the measures, which improve the wear resistance without impairing the electrical performance of the contacts.
