Abstract

Processing methods for producing dispersion-strengthened (DS) copper alloys with high strength, high conductivity, and good long-term stability at elevated temperature are reviewed. Particle size and stability are related to material characteristics and processing route. Physical and mechanical properties of DS copper alloys are directly associated with microstructural features such as particle volume fraction, stability, size, solubility in the matrix, and interfacial properties. New avenues for DS copper alloys design are suggested based on thermal conductivity concept and recent Rosier- Artz theory of high-temperature strength.[1]
