--Previous Message-- Thanks, I'll look into that. Hopefully I can find some for cheap locally(huntsville al) from one of the aerospace machine shops around here. : Graphite (Pocco is a good source) by itself would be an ok choice for your I hadn't heard of aluminum graphite. That might be perfect, as though this part can be disposable, subsequent work indicates it will need a lot of machining to produce. So being able to reuse it would be nice. Currently I plan on a slight interference fit. However this adds to the machining of the brush... : good luck Thanks, Ben
: Ben:
: Chromium copper (C18200) might work pretty well for your application.
: Places like Copper and Brass Sales, Jurgensen, and Ryerson would have
: fairly long rods in stock.
: brush. Aluminum and aluminum-graphite would be pretty susceptible to arc
: damage, but if you're just going to throw them away after the test, you
: should be alright.
: You could also apply a little force to the contact while sliding (more
: than just the weight of the rod), and you wouldn't have to worry so much
: about arcing.
