Silver nickel Graphite (AgNiC)
Silver nickel graphite contact material is a common contact material, which consists of three components: silver (Ag), nickel (Ni) and graphite (C). It has excellent electrical conductivity, wear resistance and high temperature stability. Silver nickel graphite contact material has the following characteristics: Excellent electrical conductivity: Silver has very good electrical conductivity and can provide low resistance and high current conductivity, while the addition of nickel and graphite can improve electrical conductivity and reduce the current density of contacts. Wear resistance: The addition of nickel and graphite increases the hardness and lubricity of the contacts, which can reduce friction and wear and prolong the service life of the contacts. High temperature stability: Silver nickel graphite contact material has a high melting point and thermal stability, and can maintain stable electrical conductivity and contact reliability in high temperature environments. Oxidation resistance: The addition of nickel and graphite can improve the oxidation resistance of the contacts, delay the oxidation speed of the contacts, and reduce the resistance change of the contacts.

Silver Graphite (AgC)
Silver graphite is a composite material combining silver (Ag) and graphite (carbon). Due to its unique properties, it is widely used in various fields.Silver graphite has become a very common stationary contact material and is typically paired with AgW or AgWC. Most circuit breaker and switch grades contain 95% to 97% silver. Silver graphite has superior anti-welding characteristics and therefore is a good choice when tack welding is an issue. In addition, silver graphite has excellent electrical conductivity due to the typically high silver content and because of the reducing gas formed by graphite. A much softer material than silver tungsten or silver tungsten carbide, silver graphite has a higher erosion rate.
