Abstract
Effect of doping with alloying element Zr on the structure, the electrical resistivity and the strength of deformation-processed Cu-Fe in-situ composites were studied respectively by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electronic microscope (TEM), material test system (MTS) and resistance measuring apparatus. The experimental results show that the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and the conductivity of Cu-11.5% Fe-Zr wire cold drawn to the drawing strain η = 7.57 with intermediate heat treatments were observed to be 824 MPa and 61.4% IACS respectively, and those of Cu-11.5% Fe were 752 MPa and 64.6% IACS. Doping Zr can improve the thermal stability of Cu-Fe composites. The strength of Cu-Fe-Zr wire does not drop more rapidly at higher annealing temperatures (above 300°C) than that of Cu-Fe wire.
