For high-performance metal matrix composites, maintaining the uniform distribution of the
small-sized reinforcement phase in the matrix is the key to fully exploiting the advantages of …

Abstract Ultrafine grained Cu-4.5 vol% Al 2 O 3 bulk composite samples were fabricated by
a novel way involving three steps:(i) dealloying of a Cu-50wt.% Al alloy powder to produce a …

Alumina dispersion strengthened copper (ADSC) composite was prepared by reaction
synthesis (RS) process. Results show that nano-sized γ-Al 2 O 3 particles with about 10 nm …

Abstract La 2 O 3, Al, and CuO powders were used as raw materials and pure copper as a
matrix; La 2 O 3 was added to an Al–CuO system to form a new La 2 O 3–Al–CuO reaction …

This study demonstrates how to increase the hardness, the mechanical strength, the ductility
and the electrical conductivity of Cu–8 wt% Ag alloy by engineering the precipitation kinetics …

Copper is widely used in many applications due to its excellent electric conductivity,
processing ductility and corrosion resistance. However, poor hardness and low strength are …

This paper (i) investigated how the microstructure, conductivity, and mechanical properties
of Cu-7Cr-0.1 Ag microcomposites were changed by cold drawing and subsequent heat …

This paper examines the effect of the amount of Cu (II) cations and modifiers on the physical
properties of Cu: SiO2 aerogels. The Cu: SiO2 aerogel films were also synthesized by a …

In this work, Cu-based microcomposites were fabricated by powder metallurgy of gas-
atomized Cu-15wt% Fe alloy powder, followed by drawing to various strains. The …

An ultrafine grained Cu-5vol.% Al 2 O 3 composite with a microstructure consisting of
bimodal Al 2 O 3 particles distributing at the boundaries of ultrafine Cu grains was fabricated …
