The arc duration, arc energy, contact resistance and contact pressure of Cu-0.23Be- 0.84Co alloy after solution treatment and aging treatment were analyzed. The arc erosion morphologies were contrastively observed by a three-dimensional measuring system and scanning electron microscopy. For the Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy in solution state and aging state, the maximum values of arc duration are 90 and 110 ms, and the arc energies are 15,000 and 18,000 mJ, respectively. The maximum value of the contact resistance of Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy in different states is about 33 mΩ The contact pressure of Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy in solution state generally changes between 50 and 60 cN during whole make-and-break contacts, while in aging state, it has a larger fluctuation range. Moreover, the quality of moving contact （anode） decreases, while static contact （cathode） increases. The materials transfer from anode to cathode during make-and-break contacts. The total mass losses of Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy in solution state and aging state are 3 and 1.2 mg, respectively. In addition, a number of discrete corrosion pits, molten droplet, porosity and cavity distribute on the surface of moving contact and static contact. The arc erosion model of Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy in make-and-break contact was built. The arc erosion resistance of Cu-0.23Be-0.84Co alloy after heat treatment is closely related to the microstructure and the properties of contact materials. This experimental study is important to evaluate the anode or cathode electrocorrosion fatigue life.展开更多
