Abstract

Electrically conducting composite material comprises a metal strip and a contact layer formed on one side. The contact layer is made from a silver or tin material additionally containing 0.5-60 wt.% carbon powder in the form of fine particles having a diameter of 5-200 nm and 0.5-60 wt.% of a further additive in the form of particles for improving the electrical conductivity, hardness and abrasion resistance and having a diameter of 5-200 nm. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) Device for the gas sputtering of a liquid material; and (2) Process for the production of a composite material.
