It is shown that these coatings are able to stabilize the spread of contact resistance within the entire test interval and to increase the service life of Ag contact groups from 2.3 × 106 to 4.5 × 106 commutation cycles. According to our research, the service life of coated contact groups is mainly determined by a change in the surface morphology caused by the electrical erosive transfer of the contact materials and to a lesser extent by the formation of poorly conductive adsorbed hydrocarbon films.103032117engcontact coatingcontact resistanceelectrical erosionelectrodepositionrefractory metal alloysswitching testSurfaces and InterfacesSurfaces, Coatings and FilmsMaterials Chemistryjournal article10.3390/coatings13020241https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85149062905
