Copper-based electrical contact materials were prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) method and powder metallurgy with the addition of different proportions of rare earth (RE) element. It is found that SPS method greatly enhances the density, hardness and conductivity of the composite materials, thus improving their comprehensive properties. Compared with powder metallurgy, SPS boasts a shorter sintering time, smaller compression force and higher efficiency. RE has considerable influence on the comprehensive properties of copper-based electrical contact materials. When the content of RE lower than 0.1%, the comprehensive properties can be improved by increasing RE.

Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.9Sn alloy was prepared by Powder Metallurgy (PM) and Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) using titanium hydride powder, niobium powder, zirconium powder and tin powder as raw materials. The effect of sintering process on microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated by mechanical measurement and SEM. The results showed that the best sintering process by PM was at 12500C for 2 h. The relative density, tensile strength and elongation of the alloy reached 97.2%, 705MPa and 6.2%, respectively. The microstructure was a typical Widmannstatten microstructure, which possessed β-matrix and α-precipitation. The best process by SPS was at 12500C. The relative density, tensile strength and elongation of the alloy sintered by SPS reached 99.4%, 788.5MPa and 6.4%, respectively. The grain size was about 100µm and the microstructure was uniform. The fracture morphology of the alloy was ductile rupture. Compared to PM, Ti-24Nb-4Zr-7.9Sn alloy fabricated by SPS exhibited better comprehensive properties and more uniform microstructure.

AbstractAn electrical contractor is one which plays significant role in day todays life in industries as well as in home appliances. In current scenario the materials for conducting purpose has an overwhelming research capability. Now a day the silver based electrical contact composite material have provided the potential applications in aerospace and automobile industries. Among silver based contact material the silver cadmium oxide and silver tin oxide plays a vital role in fabrication of electrical contactors. In this research an attempt has been made to study the influence of adding Aluminum with silver based electrical contact composite materials by two different processing routes namely stir-casting and powder metallurgy. Silver and aluminum matrix plays a virtual role in composite world owing to their highest conductivity. Optimum parameters were identified for attaining the maximum properties such as conductivity, hardness, density, and porosity of composition. By this better conducting property and mechanical property of the electrical contact can be improved by this system. Thus a screening test has be conducted with addition of Al with silver tin oxide compositions hence this paper aims to process the aluminum - silver based electrical contact materials by stir casting processing and powder metallurgy route and compare the results obtained.
