A Ag/4.0 mass%Cr203 composite film was fabricated on Cu substrate for application as electric contact through a two-step process: prior fabrication of a Ag/2.4Cr composite coating through co-electrodeposition of Ag with Cr nanoparticles (mean size: 30 nm) and then oxidation at 500℃ in air. The results showed that the Cr particles in the Ag/2.4Cr composite coating were locally and diffusionlessly oxidized. Compared to the conventional Ag/MexOy type electric contacts (such as Ag/12CdO) fabricated by internal oxidation of the corresponding Ag-Me alloys (e.g., Ag-10.5Cd) reported, the Ag/4.0Cr2O3 composite film has similar density and electrical resistivity, but a higher hardness.
