Silver Graphite Market By Type (1-5 Mm, 5-40 Mm, 20-160 Mm, Others), By Graphite Structure (Vertical, Parallel, Random), By Application (Circuit Breakers, Contactors, Brushes, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global silver graphite market was valued at $119.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $204.5 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2031.
Silver-graphite contacts are powder metal composites of silver and 1–5 wt% graphite. They are made by press-sinter repressing or extrusion to high density with extremely good switching properties of welding resistance, low contact resistance, and good lubricity in sliding applications. Circuit breaker contacts must have low resistance, anti-welding characteristics, and switching life under overload and short circuit circumstances. Silver graphite as both moving and stationary contact begins to exhibit marginal contact resistance and an increased likelihood of contact welding when the rated continuous current is above 100A, a new contact material is required.
Nowadays, electrical equipment is considered to be practically essential for a significant number of operations related to the industrial sector, commercial sector, and sectors associated to home installations. It is gradually growing more complex. Because of this, there has unquestionably been a significant rise in the consolidation of numerous large-scale industries focused on circuit protection (MCB and MCCB) and general modern equipment protection. Several developing countries are running electrification programs to connect rural areas to the grid. Other countries are further trying to combine different grid zones to form a mega-countrywide grid. The increase in the availability of electricity is propelling fast-paced infrastructure development, leading to the availability of abundant electrical energy.
Increasing demand for high-voltage electrical contacts is driving the demand for these types of silver graphite. A switch that completes or breaks circuits that alter an electrical current using a secondary, low-voltage power source. They carry greater circuit loads than relays, are directly connected to high-voltage feeds, don't interrupt short circuits like circuit breakers, and carry higher circuit loads than relays. The surge in concern over continuous power supply is driving the demand for MCB, MCCB, and ACB. Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is a circuit breaker that is used for protection where current ratings are lower. It can be used up to 125A circuits & like MCCBs it also offers protection against overload & short circuits through bimetal & solenoid. Increasing construction activities will further boost the demand for MCB and thus will boost the demand for silver graphite.
Earth leakage breakers are made up of these types of silver graphite. Current leakage is caused by faulty circuit design, poor installation, or damaged insulation. If this current leakage isn't found, it could cause electric shocks if someone accidentally contacts it. Priority is given to safety and security, particularly in regard to production procedures, infrastructure, and services that require little to no maintenance. The earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety tool for detecting earth leakage current and preventing electric shock.
Silver graphite tips with vertical graphite particle orientation are produced in a specific sequence: Extrusion to rods, cutting of double-thickness tips, burning out of graphite to a controlled layer thickness, and a second cutting to single tips. Such contact tips are especially well suited for applications that require, both a high weld resistance and a sufficiently high arc erosion resistance. For the attachment of silver graphite tips welding and brazing techniques are applied. silver graphite tips with vertical graphite orientation the contacts are assembled with single tips.
The silver graphite market is segmented into type, structure, application, and region. Depending on the type, the market is segmented into 1-5 μm, 5-40 μm, 20-160 μm, and Others. On the basis of graphite structure, the market is divided into vertical, parallel, and random. On the basis of application, the global silver graphite market is categorized into a circuit breaker, contactors, brushes, and Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
