  bibo_abstract:
  - The reliability and lifetime of electrical contacts is an important aspect in
    system reliability and is influenced by numerous factors. Micro motions as well
    as vibrations lead to fretting wear, which can result in wear through of the protective
    coating. If this layer is worn through, the non-noble layer underneath is exposed,
    resulting in the occurrence of fretting corrosion with further relative motion.
    This leads to an increased electrical contact resistance (ECR) and can cause the
    contact to fail. Increasing the hardness of the coating material can reduce the
    wear and in turn increase contacts’ lifetime. The micro hardness, wear and lifetime
    of contacts with modified hard silver coatings are investigated in fretting wear
    and corrosion tests and the results compared to a conventional silver coating.
    Since one of the modifications shows a significant reduction in wear and hence
    improvement in lifetime, further analysis with SEM and FIB is conducted in order
    to identify the key mechanisms leading to this improvement. With a further increase
    in lifetime however, fatigue as well as delamination of the coating are revealed
    to be of high relevance. Both can be main causes of electrical contact failure
    under fretting load. In general, at lower number of cycles, increased micro hardness
    has the greatest effect on lifetime and wear while at the higher number of cycles,
    fatigue is observed to be the dominant failure mechanism.@eng
