The materials made up from AgNi possess a higher resistance to arc erosion and contact welding than that of Ag or FAg. The material is highly conductive and this property makes it ideal for intense applications even if the current is low. AgNi materials are environment-protective and have low tendency towards material transfer in DC applications
