Alloying allows to improve the properties of one material at the cost of changing them for the second material. As an example, the hardness of a base metal may be increased while at the same time the electrical conductivity decreases with even small additions of the second alloying component.
*'''Composite Materials'''
Composite materials are a material group whose properties are of great importance for electrical contacts that are used in switching devices for higher
