Abstract

In this work, an ultrafine-grained Cu-1wt.%Al2O3 composite was prepared by a high-pressure torsion (HPT) technique using Cu and nano-Al2O3 powder. The effect of temperature on the microstructures and mechanical properties was investigated. Compared with consolidation at room temperature, both the tensile strength and plasticity were improved when the Cu-1wt.%Al2O3 composite was consolidated at elevated temperature, and an amazing 1077.8±40.9 MPa tensile strength was obtained if Cu-1wt.%Al2O3 composites were first HPT consolidated at room temperature followed by consolidation at elevated temperature.
