摘要

This study investigates the influence of Zr addition on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of Cu-3Ti alloys. After peak aging at 450 °C for 1 h, the Cu-3Ti alloy exhibited a tensile strength of 936 MPa and an elongation of 7.5%, whereas the Cu-3Ti-0.3Zr alloy achieved 987 MPa and 12.5%, respectively. The softening temperature increased from approximately 490 °C for the Cu-3Ti alloy to approximately 520 °C for the Cu-3Ti-0.3Zr alloy. The Cu4Ti phase precipitated in both alloys during aging, and the Cu5Zr and Cu8Zr3 phases precipitated in the Cu-3Ti-0.3Zr alloy. Computational analysis of the strengthening mechanisms in Cu-3Ti and Cu-3Ti-0.3Zr alloys revealed that precipitation strengthening is the primary contributor to alloy strength. The precipitation kinetic equations for both alloys were established, yielding an activation energy of 70 kJ/mol for the Cu-3Ti-0.3Zr alloy and demonstrating that the addition of Zr reduces the diffusion rate of solute atoms in the Cu-3Ti alloy.
