A method for altering mechanical and / or electrical properties of at least one region of an electrical contact element and an electrical contact element

摘要

The present invention relates to an electrical contact element 1 formed of an electrically conductive contact material 3 and to a method for altering mechanical and / or electrical properties of at least one region 15 of the electrical contact element 1 . It is desirable to provide such contact elements and corresponding methods that enable them to have regions with desired mechanical and / or electrical characteristics different from those of the contact material 3, and to provide such contact elements and / In order to perform the manufacture of the contact element quickly and inexpensively, the present invention provides that the contact element 1 comprises at least one region 15 in which the particles 17 are arranged in an adhesive manner, (17) penetrates at least into the contact material (3) of the sections. It is contemplated that in the method according to the present invention particles 17 are deposited at high speed on at least one region 15 of the contact element 1 wherein at least some of the particles 17 are contact material 3) at least partially penetrates into the interior.
