Figure 2
A pie chart titled 'Contact Strip Material Properties' is divided into six segments. Segment 1, colored green, represents wear resistance, which is the ability to withstand abrasion and surface damage over time. Segment 2, colored blue, represents corrosion resistance, which involves suppressing moisture, salt, and pollutant-induced reactions, as well as oxidation from electrical arcing. Segment 3, colored purple, represents electrical conductivity, which is the efficient flow of electricity through the material. Segment 4, colored pink, represents thermal stability, which includes high-temperature resistance and arc discharge resistance. Segment 5, colored red, represents self-lubricating capability, which reduces friction and wear without external lubrication. Segment 6, colored brown, represents impact resistance, which is the ability to absorb energy and resist breakage from impacts. Each segment is labeled with a number from 1 to 6.Material requirements for CS. Source(s): Authors' own work
