摘要
The effects of aging processes on hardness, tensile strength and electrical conductivity properties of Cu-0.7Cr-0.13Zr alloy were investigated. The microstructure of the aged alloy was studied by transmission electron microscope (TEM). After solid solution treatment and aging at 500°C for 30 min, the hardness of 116.7 HV and electrical conductivity of 47% IACS can obtained for the tested alloy. The fine precipitation of Cu5Zr is found in matrix. Aged at 500°C for 6 h, the hardness of 140 HV and electrical conductivity of 76% IACS are available. The maximum tensile strength of the alloy reaches 430 MPa. The precipitates are coherent Cr phase. The coherent dispersion strengthening is proved to be the major factors contributing to the improvement of tensile strength of the alloy. Aging at 500° for 8 h, the alloy still possesses high hardness of 135.6 HV and tensile strength of 410 MPa, and its electrical conductivity is 77% IACS and the precipitates in the alloy are not coherent with matrix.
