Microstructure and Properties of High Strength and High Conductivity Cu-0.4Mg Alloy Processed by Upward Continuous Casting and Multi-pass Drawing
Source abstract
Abstract
A Cu-0.4Mg (wt.%) alloy with high strength and high conductivity was fabricated by upward continuous casting and multi-pass drawing at room temperature. The microstructure, properties and strengthening mechanism of the Cu-0.4Mg alloy were studied. Results show that Cu-0.4Mg alloy reveals excellent comprehensive properties of ultimate tensile strength of 717 MPa and electrical conductivity of 70.4% IACS. The increment of strength was mainly contributed by grain refinement and dislocation strengthening. As the preparation method is simple and effective, it is a potential method for industrial production.
