This specification covers electrical contact components made from silver-molybdenum by powder metallurgical procedures. Chemical analysis of the samples shall be done to determine their chemical composition. The material shall be finished by different methods like braze alloy backing, tumbling to polish surfaces, special surface finish, and cleaning.

1.1 This specification covers electrical contact components made from silver-molybdenum by powder metallurgical procedures.

1.2 This specification covers compositions within the silver-molybdenum system for electrical contact applications.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
