Monolithic MAX phase ternary alloys for sliding electrical contacts

Patent · 05 February 2019

OSTI ID:1501510

Argibay, Nicolas; Scharf, Thomas

The present invention relates to monolithic structures for use as an electrical contact. In particular, these structures are formed from a laminate alloy, which in turn is composed of a M.sub.n+1AX.sub.n compound. Electrical contact assemblies and electrical components having such contacts are also described herein. In some example, such monolithic structures display increased wear resistance, which is useful for sliding electrical contacts.
