主 题:high-temperature properties hardness measurement Cu-Al2O3 alloy Cu-Nb alloy dispersion strengthening cold working annealing
摘 要:The hardness measurement,optical microscopy (OM),and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) microstructure observation on the annealing behaviors of Cu-Al2O3 (2.25 vol.% and 0.54 vol.% Al2O3) and Cu-0.52vol.%Nb alloys were carried out. The results show that with the increase of annealing temperature,the hardness of Cu-Al2O3 alloys decreases slowly. No change of the fiber structure formed by cold rolling in the Cu-2.25vol.%Al2O3 alloy is observed even after annealing at 900℃and the higher dislocation density can still be observed by TEM. Less combination of fiber formed by cold rolling and subgrains are observed in the Cu-0.54vol.%Al2O3 alloy annealed at 900℃. With the increase of annealing temperature,the hardness of the Cu-0.52vol.%Nb alloy exhibits a general decreasing trend,and its falling rate is higher than that of the Cu-Al2O3 alloys,indicating that its ability of resistance to softening at elevated temperature is weaker than that of the Cu-Al2O3 alloys. However,when annealed at a temperature of 300-400℃,probably owing to the precipitation strengthening of niobium,the hardness of the Cu-0.52vol.%Nb alloy arises slightly. The fibers formed by cold rolling be-come un-clear and un-straight and have less combination,and considerably more subgrains are observed by TEM.
