Effect of cobalt additions on the age hardening of Cu-4.5Ti alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
The effects of 0.9 and 1.8 wt% cobalt additions on the age hardening behaviour of Cu-4.5Ti alloy have been investigated. It has been observed that though Co addition results in the refinement of grain size and the Cu-Ti-Co alloys exhibit age hardening (giving rise to peak hardness on aging at 400°C for 16 hours), the peak hardness as well as the corresponding yield and tensile strengths were found to decrease with increasing cobalt content. The electrical conductivities of 0.9 and 1.8 wt% Co alloys were found to be 6% and 10% International Annealed Copper Standard (IACS) and 7% and 14% IACS in solution treated and peak aged conditions, respectively. Like in the binary Cu-Ti alloys, precipitation of ordered, metastable and coherent Cu4Ti(β1) precipitate was found to be responsible for maximum strengthening in these alloys. In addition, coarse intermetallic phases of Ti and Co, viz. Ti2Co and TiCo particles have been observed in all the conditions studied. The inferior mechanical properties of Cu-Ti-Co alloys compared with those of the binary Cu-Ti alloys are attributed to the depletion of Ti from matrix, which is consumed to form Ti2Co and TiCo phases.
