Analytical Modeling of Strength and Electrical Conductivity of Nanostructured Cu-Cr Alloys

Abstract:

The analysis of the strength characteristics and electrical conductivity of annealed Cu-1.0wt.%Cr-0.1wt%Zr alloy subjected to subsequent deformation under various conditions was carried out by analytical modeling methods. The contributions of the regions with nanotwins, as well as such defects of the crystal structure as vacancies, alloying atoms, dislocations, and particles of the secondary phase to the strength and electrical conductivity of the material were estimated.
