These results were attributed to mechanical rather than electrical-property differences of either the films, the substrates, or an interaction of both.

The contact members can be positioned so that an image of their edge profiles can be obtained at magnifications as high as 10,000X. The microgeometry of both the anode and cathode surfaces is clearly imaged. The contacts can be brought together to make electrical contact and then separated to a desired distance. The interelectrode spacing and both contact members can be viewed on the cathode ray tube of the scanning electron microscope. With this technique, contact gaps of less than one micron can be set and measured. Both contacts are connected to coaxial cable circuitry external to the microscope. A pulse of predetermined potential and duration can be transmitted to one of the contact members. If breakdown occurs, an oscillographic record of the event is obtained as well as an immediate image of the damage on the anode and cathode profiles. One of the contacts can then be rotated to obtain a front view for measurements of the arc damage. Using this technique the phenomenon of electrode bridging from an eruption of molten metal from the anode has been observed.

The experiments have been planned in order to differentiate between the effects of cold welding, diffusion welding and percussion welding. Cold welding has no affect on newly prepared electrodes, but after the electrodes have been arced appreciably a small residual cold weld force is experienced. The diffusion weld strength is strongly dependent upon the contact force, the electrode temperature and the time in contact. The strongest weld forces are measured in the percussion weld experiment where the electrodes experience a high current prestrike arc as they close. It is also found in this study that the weld force decreases rapidly after the electrode faces are exposed to the residual gases in the vacuum. These results are discussed in terms of the chemisorption of residual gases and the real area of electrical contact. The effects of the change in nature of the electrode surfaces are discussed and a satisfactory qualitative explanation of the results is reached.","PeriodicalId":292168,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Parts, Materials and Packaging","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1971-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114587269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strengthening mechanisms resulting from a combination of cold work and low temperature heat treatment have been taken advantage cf to produce electromechanical spring materials which have good conductivity and corrosion resistance, have sufficient ductility forpunching and forming, are dimensionally stable for long periods of time and also adequately resist fatigue stressing.
