Find answers to common questions about Fudar Alloy's manufacturing capabilities, electrical contact materials, electric vehicle components, precious metal products, quality systems, material selection, and technical support.
Founded in 1994, we are an advanced materials company specializing in electrical contact technologies. We combine materials research, manufacturing, application engineering, and precious-metal recycling to support projects from early development through mass production. Our expertise supports applications in industrial control, electric vehicles, rail transit, renewable energy, 5G communications, data centers, and smart buildings and homes—areas where reliable switching and electrical connections are essential.
More than 440 R&D and technical professionals support material development, process research, and application engineering. We have been granted more than 270 patents and contributed to the development or revision of over 50 national and industry standards. Our inhouse testing capabilities support material characterization, performance evaluation, process validation, and pre-production sample testing.
We manage core manufacturing processes in-house, from powder preparation and powder metallurgy to forming, stamping, riveting, welding, brazing, and automated assembly. Our specialized facilities support the production of electrical contact materials and components, as well as precious-metal recovery. Digitally connected workshops and smart manufacturing systems help us maintain consistent quality and scale production efficiently.
We are certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949 and operate a CNAS-accredited laboratory that meets ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. Our production quality controls include incoming material inspection, in-process monitoring, final testing, and batch traceability. We use QMS and MES platforms to track key process data, flag deviations, and maintain production records.
We serve customers in 32 countries and regions. Our support includes application review, material recommendations, sample development, validation, and production ramp-up. International customers can send us drawings, application requirements, RFQs, or technical questions. Our sales team coordinates with our R&D, engineering, and manufacturing teams throughout each project.
We manufacture silver-alloy wires, contact rivets, powder-metallurgy contact tips, silver contact tips, clad strips, profile materials, silver brazing alloys, and contact assemblies. Our material portfolio includes Ag, FAg, AgNi, AgSnO₂, AgCuO, AgZnO, AgCdO, AgC, AgW, and AgWC. We can customize material composition, product form, and dimensions for relays, contactors, circuit breakers, switches, and other electrical devices.
We supply core components for high-voltage DC relays and contactors used in electric vehicles, including riveted contact assemblies, moving and stationary contacts, moving and stationary iron cores, Kovar frame plates, and magnetic plates. Our broader EV portfolio also includes battery terminals, cup seals, gaskets, copper washers, and custom-stamped parts. We can tailor materials, dimensions, and configurations to specific application requirements.
We offer electrical-grade silver powders in micron and submicron grades, ultrafine functional silver powders, and silver-coated composite powders. We supply these products for applications including electrical contact materials, electronic pastes, photovoltaics, 5G communications, electroplating, chemical processing, and other industrial uses. We also provide precious-metal recovery and refining services for industrial and electronic scrap.
No single contact material is suitable for every application. We consider voltage and current levels, AC or DC operation, load type and inrush current, switching frequency, contact force, operating environment, required service life, and compliance requirements. Together, these factors help us determine the appropriate balance of conductivity, contact resistance, resistance to contact welding and arc erosion, mechanical strength, and cost. We can then recommend a suitable material for application-specific validation.
Yes. We offer cadmium-free options including AgSnO₂, AgSnO₂In₂O₃, AgZnO, and AgCuO. For certain lower-current applications, we may also recommend AgNi. AgSnO₂ is a common alternative to AgCdO because of its resistance to contact welding and arc erosion. Because no material is a universal drop-in replacement, we recommend validating the selected formulation and contact design under actual operating conditions.
Yes. We can reduce precious metal use through material formulation and structural optimization. At the material level, we can optimize silver content, functional-phase proportions, and additive systems to balance conductivity, resistance to contact welding and arc erosion, and electrical life. Structural options include bimetal or trimetal rivets, clad or inlaid strips, T-shaped composite profile strips, and optimized silver-layer thickness and placement.
Yes. We can reduce contact volume through contact geometry and manufacturing-process optimization while maintaining the required current-carrying and switching performance. Each design is assessed for temperature rise, mechanical strength, breaking capacity, and electrical life before production. The achievable reduction depends on the device design, electrical load, and space constraints.
