Abstract

The present investigation has been performed on the manufacturing process of Ni-P doped W-Cu electric contacts by infiltration techniques. The addition of small amount of Ni-P alloy aimed at forming a rigid and homogeneous skeleton structure of W-powders which favours subsequent infiltration process of Cu-melts. The experimental results revealed that the small addition of Ni-P alloy appreciably enhances the sintering process of W at low temperatures (even at 1000$^{\circ}C$), simultaneously causing a considerable change of skeleton Morphology and its related best infiltration behaviour of Cu-melts.
