Abstract

The material consists of a mixture of silver and 1.0 to 20 weight per cent of lanthanum, strontium chromite of the formula La.sub.1.sub.-x Sr.sub.x CrO.sub.3, where the values of x lie between 0 and 1.0. The addition of 2.5 to 20 weight per cent of cadmium oxide further improves the electrical contact material by providing anti-weld properties to the contact interface. The electrical contacts are formed from the contact material by powder metallurgy techniques.
