Abstract(in English) The surface morphology of Ag contacts was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) in breaking different dc arcs (20 V, 0.5-4.0 A). The tested results demonstrated that the cathode surface was usually smooth, and that the anode surface was characterized as three parts- "wave-shape" with plastic deformation in part I, smooth with pinholes in part II, and rough with globule in part III from the arced center to the outside. The temperature of base metal was considered to control the formation of these characteristics, and a plausible mechanism was proposed.
