Abstract
The disclosed concept pertains to alloy compositions, methods and arc-resistant shields composed of the alloy compositions. The arc-resistant shields are positioned in vacuum interrupter chambers and demonstrate resistance to arc damage and ability to hold off high voltages after arcing, while providing a lower cost alternative to traditional alloy compositions used for producing arc-resistant shields. In certain embodiments, the alloy compositions include copper and/or an element chemically compatible to copper and another component, such as but not limited to, iron, stainless steel, niobium, molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, vanadium carbide and chromium, and alloys and mixtures thereof.
