The effects of aging treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu-10Fe-3Ag in-situ composite were investigated. And the mechanism of Ag element was analyzed during aging treatment. The results show that: presence of Ag can accelerate γ-Fe precipitation from in the Cu matrix, but also reduces the thermal stability of Fe fibers. As the aging temperature increasing, the hardness and conductivity of Cu-10Fe-3Ag in-situ composite increase at first and then decrease. The conductivity of Cu-10Fe-3Ag in-situ composite can reach 58.4% IACS when aging for 6h at 475 °C. The Fractures of the alloy are all ductile rupture and the dimples are smaller with the aging temperature increasing.

A Cu–10Fe–3Ag alloy was produced by means of induction melting. The effects of aging processes on microhardness and conductivity of Cu–10Fe–3Ag alloy were studied. The microstructure of the alloy was examined using transmission electron microscope (TEM). The results show that: presence of Ag can accelerate γ-Fe precipitation from in the Cu matrix, but also reduces the thermal stability of Fe fibers. As the annealing temperature increasing, the microhardness and conductivity of Cu-10Fe-3Ag in-situ composite increase at first and then decrease. Annealed at 475 for 6h, the alloy has an excellent combination of microhardness and conductivity, the microhardness and conductivity reach 209HV and 58.4% IACS, respectively. The Fractures of the alloy are all ductile rupture and the dimples are smaller with the annealing temperature increasing.

The effect of aging treatment on mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of Cu-5.7%Cr in situ composite produced by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) was investigated here. The rotation and spreading of Cr particles was observed in Cu-5.7%Cr alloy during the ECAP, resulting in long thin in situ filaments. The equiaxed grains of the Cu phase with an average size of 200 nm were developed after eight passes of ECAP. When aging at 400~450 °C for 1 h, Cu-5.7%Cr composite after ECAP shows the maximum microhardness, and the electrical conductivity is larger than 70% of IACS. At 400 °C, the peak aging time appears for 0.5~2 h, dependent on the pre-strain for all ECAP samples. With the increase of ECAP passes, the enhancement of tensile strength due to the aging treatment declines, and even shows negative after eight passes of ECAP. The combination of ECAP and aging treatment would be a promising process to balance mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of Cu-5.7%Cr composite.

The PMMA/TiO2 nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization,the dissolution, thermal stability and the mechanical property of the nanocomposites were studied. The results indicated that nano-TiO2 may be crosslinking points in the matrix and the thermal stability of the nanocomposites became higher. As the content of nano-TiO2 increased, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites had great changes.
