CORROSION RESISTANT HIGH TEMPERATURE CONTACTS OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS AND METHOD OF FABRICATION THEREOF ABSTRACT The invention provides a composite material specifically adapted for use as high temperature corrosion resistant electrical connectors. A conductiblenickel-base substrate alloy having corrosion resistance, strength and creep resistance is used to hold shape at 200°C. An interlayer of substantially pure nickel is electrolytically plated over the nickel-base substrate. A noble metal surface isdiffusion bonded to the electrolytic nickel interlayer. The noble metal surface cannot be hardened by organic additives which accelerate corrosion at 200°C. Alternatively, if a copper-base substrate is used, a layer of wrought pure nickel is bonded to the substrate then a layer of electroplated nickel is used to overplate the wrought nickel and the copper-base substrate. A noble metal surface is then diffusion bonded to the electrolytic nickel layer.
