This paper investigates a high electrical conductivity and high strength of alloys based on Cu-Ni-Si system It proclaimed the results of the effect of tin (Sn) component on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Cu-Ni-Sn alloy. The conditions for processing the Cu-Ni-Si alloy were presented, the analysis of microstructure and mechanical properties after heat treatment was examined by X-ray, SEM, EDS and specialized machines. The results showed that with 3% mass of Sn added into the Cu-Ni-Sn alloy along with heat treatment and deformation, the hardness value reached the range of 221-240HV, the tensile strength and elastic limit reached around 1060MPa and 903MPa respectively. However, after heat treatment and deformation for the Cu-Ni-Sn alloy based on 6% mass of Sn, the hardness value reached the range of 221-318HV, the tensile strength and elastic limit were respectively 222MPa and 263MPa higher than those of the Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with 3% mass of Sn. The result from X-ray analysis showed the deflection of peaks. Nonetheless, the new phases were not observed in SEM and EDS, contrariwise, generated modular structure was considered as the proof of the Spinodal cluster. This fact might be explained by two mechanisms: deformation mechanism and Spinodal decomposition.

Mechanical And Electrical Properties

The effect of thermal heat treatment on the mechanical and electrical properties of Cu–Ag alloys was investigated. The homogenization heat treatment leads to an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in electrical conductivity due to dissolution of Ag into copper matrix. Also, it is shown that electrical conductivity of as-cast Cu–Ag alloys decreases with increasing Ag content. In contrast, the aging heat treatment gives rise to increase both the tensile strength and electrical conductivity because the Ag solute diffuses out from copper matrix during aging heat treatment. Therefore, it can be mentioned that the electrical conductivity of Cu–Ag alloys depends on Ag solute in copper matrix. Also, aging treatment is favorable to acquire high strength and high electrical conductivity.

The Matrix

Due to its high strength, excellent electrical conductivity and high resistance to stress corrosion, Cu-Ni-Sn alloy has been selected as a kind of advanced metal material which can be used as the manufacture of springs, connectors, bearings and so on. In addition, the addition of Nb can efficiently improve the comprehensive properties of the alloy. In the present work, the effect of heat treatment conditions on microstructure and mechanical properties were studied in a Cu-9Ni-6Sn-0.22Nb alloy by means of optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), tensile test and microhardness tests. The results show that before ageing, a large number of fine γ precipitates with DO22 type structure are distributed on the matrix. With the prolongation of ageing time, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and Vickers hardness increased firstly, and then decline. The reason can be attributed to the occurrence of spinodal decomposition and the formation of discontinuous precipitation (DP). At first, spinodal decomposition induced the enhanced interaction between dislocations and internal stress field, resulting in an increase of mechanical properties. Then the increased DP at grain boundaries leads to the decline of strength in the material. Finally, the relationship between the microstructure and the electrical conductivity was also analyzed, and the results show that the electrical conductivity increased with ageing time/ageing temperature increasing for the present alloy. Through the analysis of Matthiessen’ s rule, the variation of electrical resistivity depends on precipitates, solute atoms, dislocations, vacancies and grain boundaries, and the precipitates play an important role among them. Besides, more precipitates improve electrical conductivity. Therefore, the increase of ageing time/ageing temperature induced the increase of DP, resulting in an increase of electrical conductivity.

The effect of stepped aging treatment including two-stepped retrogression aging and retrogression reaging treatment on the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and the microstructure of AA7085 has been investigated. Electron microscopy observations were used to analyze the microstructures and tensile fracture surfaces of AA7085 processed via various treatment schedules. Besides, X-ray diffractometer and differential scanning calorimeter were used to explore the thermodynamic factors of heat treatment. Through the investigation of the effect of the retrogression time on the properties and microstructure of AA7085, the optimized retrogression time was confirmed. The results of comparing retrogression aging and retrogression reaging treatment showed that through RRA treatment, higher conductivity and fracture toughness were gained. Through the optimized RRA treatment based on appropriate retrogression time, the tensile strength, elongation, fracture toughness and conductivity of AA7085 were raised to 660MPa, 12%,36.6MPa•m1/2and 38.1%IACS.

In order to obtain high-strength and high-ductility Al–Si–Cu–Mg alloys, the present research is focused on optimizing the composition of soluble phases, the structure and morphology of insoluble phases, and artificial ageing processes. The results show that the best matches, 0.4 wt% Mg and 1.2 wt% Cu in the Al–9Si alloy, avoided the toxic effect of the blocky Al2Cu on the mechanical properties of the alloy. The addition of 0.6 wt% Zn modified the morphology of eutectic Si from coarse particles to fine fibrous particles and the texture of Fe-rich phases from acicular β-Fe to blocky π-Fe in the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy. With the optimization of the heat treatment parameters, the spherical eutectic Si and the fully fused β-Fe dramatically improved the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture. Compared with the Al–9Si–1.2Cu–0.4Mg-based alloy, the 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy not only increased the ultimate tensile strength and elongation to fracture of peak ageing but also reduced the time of peak ageing. The following improved combination of higher tensile strength and higher elongation was achieved for 0.6 wt% Zn modified alloy by double-stage ageing: 100 °C × 3 h + 180 °C × 7 h, with mechanical properties of ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of ~371 MPa, yield strength (YS) of ~291 MPa, and elongation to fracture (E%) of ~5.6%.

Electrical conductivity, tensile strength and micro-hardness of Cu-3.5wt.%Ti-0.1wt.%Zr-RE alloy were investigated after optimizing technics of plastic deformation and the heat treatment. The results show that good combination of the physical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength 1160 MPa, micro-hardness 335 Hv and electrical conductivity 15 IACS% can be obtained on peak aging at 420°C for 7 h. Maximum strength was associated with the precipitation of metastable, ordered and coherent β/ (Cu4Ti) phase on peak aging. Then the strength decreased due to the precipitation of β (Cu3Ti) phase in alloys overaged.

Abstract The paper analyzes the influence of different heat treatment processes on the mechanical properties of low-alloy high-strength steel denoted by Polish Standard (PN) as 10MnVNb6. One of the findings is that, after aging, the mechanical properties of rolled steel are high: the yield strength may reach > 600 MPa, and the ultimate tensile strength is > 700 MPa. These properties are largely dependent on the grain size and dispersion of the strengthening phase in the ferrite matrix. Aging applied after hot rolling contributes to a considerable rise in the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength. The process of normalization causes a decrease in the average grain size and coalescence (reduction of dispersion) of the strengthening phase. When 10MnVNb6 steel was aged after normalization, there was not a complete recovery in its strength properties.

In this study, it was aimed to develop a novel interconnect material simultaneously possessing high electrical conductivity and strength. Combined structural Cu sheets were fabricated by forming the high electrical conduction paths of Ag on the surface of high strength Cu alloy substrate by damascene electroplating. As a result, the electrical conductivity increased by 40%, while the ultimate tensile strength decreased by only 20%. When the depth of Ag conduction path was deep, fracture zone ratio as well as roll-over zone increased.

ABSTRACTWe present a summary of our recent results on the electrical and mechanical properties of fibers made from poly(2,5-dimethoxy-p-phenylene vinylene), PDMPV and poly(2,5-thienylene vinylene), PTV, using the precursor polymer methodology, and from polyaniline, PANI, using the method of processing as polyblends with poly-(p-phenylene terephthalamide), PPTA, from sulfuric acid. The solubility of both PANI and PPTA in H2SO4 presents a unique opportunity for co-dissolving and blending PANI and PPTA to exploit the excellent mechanical properties of PPTA and the electrical conductivity of PANI; we summarize the electrical and mechanical properties of such composite fibers. For PDMPV and PTV fibers, we find a strong correlation between the conductivity and the tensile strength (and/or modulus), and we show from basic theoretical concepts that this relationship is an intrinsic feature of conducting polymers.
