This study investigated the effect of the boric oxide (B 2 O 3 ) content on the arc-erosion performance of silver (Ag)-based composite electrical contact materials, produced by powder metallurgy combined with mechanical alloying. Pure Ag and B 2 O 3 powders were milled in a high-energy planetary-typ...
