Characteristic Structure of Cu-0.8Cr Alloy Using SPD Deformation by Rolling with Cyclic Movement of Rolls Method

Abstract:

The results of the microstructure and hardness investigations of the Cu-0.8Cr alloy after application of severe plastic deformation (SPD) implemented by rolling with the cyclic movement of rolls (RCMR) are presented in this paper. Performed substructure investigations showed that using the RCMR method can refine the microstructure of Cu-0.8Cr alloy to the ultrafine scale. The structure of the Cu-0.8Cr alloy was analyzed using light microscope (LM) and scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). The quantitative studies of the substructure was performed with "MET-ILO" software, on the basis of images acquired on STEM microscope.
