Abstract Properties of Cu–Cr–Zr alloy with ultrafine-grained (UFG) structure produced by
equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) via different routes have been investigated. Special …

A high performance Cu-Cr-Zr alloy with an ultimate tensile strength of 612 MPa, a uniform
elongation of 5% and an electrical conductivity of 84.7% IACS was achieved by the severe …

To design a high-performance Cu–Ti intermetallic coating, first-principles calculation is
conducted to systematically investigate the phase stability, mechanical and electronic …

Ultrafine-grained (UFG) microstructures in Cu–Cr alloys were processed by high pressure
torsion (HPT). The improved hardness was accompanied by a reduced electrical …

To balance the paradox of both high mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of
copper alloys, a nominal hot-rolled Cu-0.4 wt.% Cr-0.3 wt.% Zr alloy strips were subjected to …
