Effect of composition and process factors on the structure, mechanical properties, and fracture behavior of a composite material of the copper – chromium system

  • Composite Materials
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The structure, hardness, strength, ductility, and special features of fracture in a temperature range of 20–900°C are studied as a function of the chromium content and of the mode of heat treatment for a Cu – Cr microlayer composite material obtained by electron-beam evaporation and condensation.
