摘要

Cu-1Cr-0.1Zr alloy has attracted widespread attention due to its potential application in nuclear materials, microelectronics, transportation, and aerospace manufacturing fields. It is crucial to balance the strength and electrical conductivity of Cu-1Cr-0.1Zr alloy. In this study, we utilized a combination of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) along with aging treatment (AT) and cryogenic rolling (CR) to achieve a high electrical conductivity and high strength Cu-1Cr-0.1Zr alloy with a tensile strength of 704 MPa, microhardness of 197 HV, elongation to failure of 7.8%, and electrical conductivity of 76% IACS. Grain refinement, precipitation strengthening, and dislocation strengthening are mainly involved in the outstanding mechanical and electrical properties. In conclusion, a new approach to the preparation of Cu-Cr-Zr alloys with high electrical conductivity and high strength is provided by the ECAP + AT + CR processing.
