  2. Electrical resistivity and conductivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and...

    Electrical conductivity of water samples is used as an indicator of how salt-free, ion-free, or impurity-free the sample is; the purer the water, the lower the conductivity (the higher the resistivity). Conductivity measurements in water are often reported as specific conductance, relative to the conductivity of pure water at 25 °C.

  3. Copper–tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper–tungsten

    Other ductile metals can be used as a binder in place of copper as well. Graphite can be added as lubricant to the powder. [5] CuW can also be used as a contact material in a vacuum. When the contact is very fine grained (VFG), the electrical conductivity is much higher than a normal piece of copper tungsten. [6]

  4. Graphite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphite

    Graphite and graphite powder are valued in industrial applications for their self-lubricating and dry lubricating properties. However, the use of graphite is limited by its tendency to facilitate pitting corrosion in some stainless steel, [31] [32] and to promote galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals (due to its electrical conductivity ...

  7. Brush (electric) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brush_(electric)

    Exact composition of the brush depends on the application. Graphite/carbon powder is commonly used. Copper is used for better conductance (rare for AC applications). In order to maximize electrical conductivity and green strength, highly dendritic (electrolytic) copper powder is used. [5]

  8. Copper conductor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_conductor

    Electrical conductivity is a measure of how well a material transports an electric charge. This is an essential property in electrical wiring systems. Copper has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals: the electrical resistivity of copper = 16.78 nΩ•m at 20 °C.

  9. Semimetal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semimetal

    The insulating/semiconducting states differ from the semimetallic/metallic states in the temperature dependency of their electrical conductivity.With a metal, the conductivity decreases with increases in temperature (due to increasing interaction of electrons with phonons (lattice vibrations)).
