Research on Explosive Compaction Technology and Properties of WC/Cu Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper uses the explosive compaction method to produce Cu-matrix composites. The powders of Cu and WC were prepared by high-energy ball-milling. Experiments have been performed to compact powders of Cu and WC using cylindrical configuration. The results showed that the detonation velocity had effects on the density of the compacts. The effect has been detailedly studied. The compacted WC/Cu composites have been subjected to hot rolling. The microstructure, hardness, electrical conductivity and softening temperature of the composites have also been mentioned.
