Silver Tungsten Carbide Electrode

Silver tungsten carbide electrode is high-performance composite electrode made from a combination of silver and tungsten carbide, typically manufactured through powder metallurgy techniques. This material integrates the exceptional electrical conductivity of silver with the outstanding hardness and wear resistance of tungsten carbide. Such a combination makes these electrodes particularly suitable for demanding applications, including electrical contacts in circuit breakers, relays, and switches, where they must endure high electrical currents, mechanical stress, and arc erosion.

Beyond electrical contacts, silver tungsten carbide electrodes are also utilized in welding processes and other industrial applications that require both durability and conductivity. The properties of these electrodes can be customized by adjusting the ratio of silver to tungsten carbide, allowing for optimization tailored to specific needs.
