1、Designation: B 664 90 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Specification for80 % Silver-20 % Graphite Sliding Contact Material1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 664; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year
2、 of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification defines the criteria for compositionand other requirements for brushes with a nominal silverco
