Abstract

The work provides an analysis of research devoted to the problem of manufacturing and operation of current-transmitting elements of electric transport, namely, the durability of contact parts according to operational and tribological characteristics. The work of current-transmitting elements of electric transport consists in the continuous sliding of one element on the surface of another and is accompanied by wear. At the same time, two types of wear are distinguished: mechanical and electrical. It has been established that the correct choice of materials has the greatest impact on reducing friction and wear of electrical contact elements. The basis for this is graphite material, which has the best current-conducting characteristics, but has insufficient strength and wear resistance. Approaches to the creation of materials for electrical contact elements using composite metallographite materials based on copper, aluminum, lead and other materials are analyzed.
