Abstract
<jats:p>This work integrates experimental and MD simulation approaches to study the role of graphene in G-Cu-W composites. Arcing tests were conducted on G-Cu-W and Cu-W contact samples under a 5kA peak current. Experimental results show that adding graphene leads to a lower surface roughness of the sample following arcing. MD simulation results indicate that the G-Cu-W model exhibits a smoother surface and fewer lost metal atoms than the Cu-W model due to the protective effect of graphene layer.</jats:p>
