| Abstract: The present invention relates to monolithic structures for use as an
electrical contact. In particular, these structures are formed from a
laminate alloy, which in turn is composed of a M.sub.n+1AX.sub.n
compound. Electrical contact assemblies and electrical components having
such contacts are also described herein. In some example, such monolithic
structures display increased wear resistance, which is useful for sliding
electrical contacts. |
