Reduction of the Contact Corrosion on the Electrical Networks by Applying Bimetallics

The contact corrosion phenomena occuring at the electrical networks when two dissimilar metallic parts are connected to each other causes serious technical and economical problems. One possible solution to reduce the contact corrosion is the application of properly prepared bimetallics. The paper introduces the explosive cladding technique which can be successfully applied for manufacturing bimetallics matched to the given electrical circuit furthermore application possibilities of the explosively cladded bimetallics at electrical networks, railway systems and vehicles.
