Abstract
Static contact resistance for all combinations of usual metals (cold-drawn copper, brass, aluminum, duraluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel) are measured for stresses of up to 16 kg/mm2 and current densities of up to 7.5 kA/mm2. A decreasing resistance has been found for increasing compressive stress and increasing current intensity. Very low resistance values have been observed (0.02 mΩ mm2) with cold-drawn copper and aluminum.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
