Cu-TiB2 nanocomposite powders were in situ synthesized by combining high-energy ball milling of Cu-Ti-B elemental powder mixtures as precursors and subsequent self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS). Cu-40wt.% TiB2 was produced after SHS reaction and then diluted by copper to obtain desired homogeneous composites with 2.5, 5 and 10wt.%TiB2. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) was used to inhibit grain growth and thereby obtain fully Cu-TiB2 sintered bodies with nanocomposite structure. After SHS reaction, only Cu and TiB2 phases were detected in the SHS-product. Spheroidal TiB2 particles smaller than 250nm were formed in the copper matrix after SHS-reaction. Mechanical and electrical properties were investigated after SPS at 650°C for 30min under 50MPa. The electrical conductivity decreased from 75 to 54% IACS with increasing of TiB2 contents from 2.5 to 10wt.%. However, hardness increased from 56 to 97HRB. In addition, the tensile strength increased with increasing the TiB2 content.

Copper matrix composites (CMCs) are widely used in electrical equipment and electrical contact materials due to their excellent electrical properties. Al2O3 powders are widely used as a reinforcing agent to enhance mechanical properties of MMCs. The xAl2O3/Cu (x =0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0wt. %) composites were prepared via vacuum arc melting method. The mechanical and electrical properties were obtained by measuring the hardness and conductivity. The morphology of copper and Al2O3/Cu composites was characterized by optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). With the addition of Al2O3 from 0.2 wt. % to 1.0 wt. %, the relative densities of composites decreased from 98.5% to 97.0%. The hardness of the composites increased with increase in the Al2O3 powders content. The hardness of 1.0Al2O3/Cu composites was 57.9 HB, which was higher than that of pure Cu by 18.6%.. With the addition of Al2O3, the IACS% of Al2O3/Cu composites decreased from 88.97 to 86.16.

We show that copper-matrix composites that contain 20 vol. % of an in situ processed, polymer-derived, ceramic phase constituted from Si-C-N have unusual friction-and-wear properties. They show negligible wear despite a coefficient of friction (COF) that approaches 0.7. This behavior is ascribed to the lamellar structure of the composite such that the interlamellar regions are infused with nanoscale dispersion of ceramic particles. There is significant hardening of the composite just adjacent to the wear surface by severe plastic deformation.
