Zinc oxide is applied to a substrate at a low temperature by using a mixture of an organozinc compound and water carried in an inert gas. The resulting zinc oxide film has a relatively low resistivity which can be varied by addition of a group III element.

A method of preparing electrical contacts and electrical contact materials comprises the steps of blending a conductive metallic component, such as silver, with nickel and zirconium diboride which is substantially completely free of oxides, pressing the powder mixture to form a pre-sintered compact, and thereafter liquid phase sintering the compact to a densified body. The zirconium diboride is mixed with about 2 weight percent of a reducing agent, preferably mixed carbon and boron powders, and heated to remove oxides from the surface of the zirconium diboride powder particles prior to the steps of pressing and sintering.
