Various electrical contact materials have been obtained by self-sustained high-temperature synthesis (SHS) followed by a hot compression step. The materials studied are TiB2 and TiC-based cermets with a copper or aluminium metal matrix. The density, electrical conductivity, and hardness of the cermets produced in this way were measured. The microstructure of the cermets was analyzed by X-ray diffraction...
