Abstract
Bulk Al2O3 dispersed ultrafine-grained (UFG) Cu matrix composite has been fabricated by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) casting route. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-fabricated materials have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and microhardness measurements and compression tests, respectively. The results show that the as-fabricated material has small amount of entrapped Al2O3 particles in uniform microstructure Cu having a grain size ranging from 200-500 nm with an elevated compressive yield stress (298 MPa) and an improved microhardness value (1.06 GPa). The possible strengthening mechanism of the product has been discussed.
