They are responsible for connecting and disconnecting the electric control circuit and the load circuit current. They are used in various light and heavy load high and low voltage electrical appliances, household appliances, automotive appliances and aerospace appliances. Their materials determine the breaking capacity of the switch and the reliability of the electrical contact. As the most widely studied and applied electrical contact material, silver-based electrical contact materials have good wear resistance, welding resistance, conductivity and low contact resistance. At present, an important type of contact material in low-voltage switchgear is silver-based alloy contact material, especially relays, circuit breakers and contactors, which are large-scale and widely used electrical appliances.

At present, the mainstream products in the contact material market have a high silver content, and the annual silver consumption is very huge. Silver is a scarce precious metal and silver resources are very limited. With the increase in usage, the price of silver will inevitably soar, which will make the cost of producing electrical contact materials high, the economic benefits of enterprises will decline, and the social benefits will also be greatly reduced.
