This article presents the results of investigations into a new technology for the manufacture of wires from an AgSnO2Bi2O3 composite material, designed for use in the production of electric contacts. Tests have shown that wires from this new material can be processed into solid and bimetallic rivets. Physical and mechanical properties of wires and the rivets made from them were examined.
