Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Morphology of Nanostructure and Properties of Silver-Carbon-Copper Electroexplosive Coating After Pulsed Electronic Processing Romanov D.A., Moskovsky S.V., Pochetukha V.V., Vashchuk E.S., Ivanov Yu.F. The silver-carbon coating is formed on copper using an electroexplosive method and subsequent pulsed electronic processing. The thickness of the coating after the fi rst treatment varies from 50 microns to 550 microns. Carbon graphite fi ber in the coating is present in the form of plates. There are also copper atoms in the coating, the concentration increases from the surface to the base. The formation of interstitial solid solutions based on copper and silver was discovered by X-ray phase analysis. Studies using micro-X-ray spectral analysis of foils for transmission electron microscopy have shown that copper in the coating is located in the form of thin layers along the boundaries of silver grains, or forms inclusions (grains) of submicrocrystalline sizes. It has been established that graphite is present in the form of nanosized (10-15 nm) particles in the volume of silver grains and copper grains, and is also located at the boundaries of silver grains. In the Ag–C/ Cu system, the formation of a transition layer with a thickness of 250–300 nm was revealed. The size of subgrains in the transition layer varies within the range of 150–250 nm. The elastic modulus and Vickers microhardness decrease with increasing coating depth. The wear resistance of the coating is 6∙10–6 mm3 /N∙m. The resulting set of properties and characteristics of the structure allows us to draw a conclusion about the suitability of the formed coatings for use in electrical contacts of high-power electrical networks. The specifi c choice of a specifi c contact model requires additional clarifying studies.
