Optimal conditions for good hardening and electrical conductivity can be obtained by solution treating at 920 °C for Ih and aging at 470^0 for 4h and at 550^ for Ih. The hardness and electrical conductivity can reach 108HV, 73%IACS and 106HV, 76%IACS, respectively. Aging precipitation was dealt with by transmission electronic microscope (TEM). At 470 °C aging for 4h the fine precipitation of an ordered compound CrCu2(Zr,Mg) is found in matrix as well as fine Cr and Cu4Zr. Aging at 550’C for Ih some precipitates are still coherent with matrix. The CrCu2(Zr,Mg) completely dissolves into Cr and Cu4Zr.展开更多

The results show that after T6 treatment, the diameter of grain increases to 20 μm. As the second phases dissolve into the matrix, the smaller and denser β′ phases precipitate inside the grains. After T6-treatment, both yield strength (TYS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) are increased. Comparing with that in only ageing condition (T5), the UTS and TYS increased from 365 MPa,285 MPa to 400 MPa,310 MPa, respectively, but the elongation decreased from 7.0% to 3.5%. It has been found that the effects of precipitates on the strength are stronger than that of the growth of grain size.展开更多

Grain refinement and coherent dispersion strengthening were proved to be the major factors contributing to the improvement of strength and hardness of the alloy after aging. The degree of coherent strengthening was almost identical with that calculated by Gerod equatbo. Compared with the solid solution quenched Cu-Cr alloy, the peak hardness was increased 2. 6 times, in which about 27% was attributed to the grain refinement and 73 %, in turn, provided by coherent strengthening due to aging precipitation. Neither the soid solution strengthening nor vacancy strengthening had detectable effect on the strength and hardness of the rapidly solidified Cu-Cr alloy.展开更多
