→5.1.4.4 Copper-Silver-(Cadmium) Alloys (Silver Bronze)
Because of their good spring properties combined with high electrical conductivity silver bronzes are suitable for the use contact springs in relays
under higher current loads. Taking advantage of their high temperature stability they are also used as current carrying contacts in high voltage switchgear and as electrode material for resistance welding.
