Sintered electrical contacts:
what they are and how they are produced
Sintered electrical contacts are produced using alloys based on tungsten (W) and / or copper (Cu) and / or silver (Ag). They are used in switches, transformers, switchgears… in short, in electrical equipment in general.
The design of the electrical contact is up to you!
How to do?
It's very simple: think about the characteristics that must have your contact and provide us with your drawing. We will take care of producing sintered electrical contacts that meet your requests.
Sintering is a precise and rapid metalworking technique, which allows us to provide highly customized solutions.
Here at Syntesalloys we use a particular technology of powder metallurgy that works by transforming metal powders into compact and immediately usable solids. Sintering is a technique that allows high customization and reduces waste.
