Improving mechanical properties of Cu/Ti3AlC2 composites via in-situ decomposed gradient interfaces

Ying Liu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the reinforcement effect of Ti3AlC2 on Cu matrix composites and explores the influence of sintering temperature on the interface microstructure and material properties. The results show that Ti3AlC2 can dissolve and diffuse into the Cu matrix, forming a Cu(Al) solid solution within a certain temperature range. This leads to the formation of gradient interface structures, which improves the microhardness and compressive yield strength of the materials.

Preparation of Cu/CrB2 composites with well-balanced mechanical properties and electrical conductivity by ex-situ powder metallurgy

Xin-feng Guo et al.

Summary: Cu matrix composites reinforced by ex-situ added CrB2 ceramic particles were prepared, and the effect of CrB2 content on the microstructure and mechanical properties was studied. The strength of the composites depends on the dispersion degree of CrB2 particles, which increases continuously with the CrB2 content up to a certain point. Above a certain CrB2 content, the strength decreases due to agglomeration. Despite the decrease in electrical conductivity and plasticity, the properties of the composites remain at a high level. The main strengthening mechanisms are dislocation strengthening and Orowan strengthening.
