Deep Fracture

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.

6063 Aluminum Alloy

The mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of 6063 aluminum alloy subjected to equal-channel angular press (ECAP) at room temperature (RT), 200 °C, and two-step temperature schedule (TST) have been investigated in this study. The TST refers to one pass at 200 °C followed by further successive pressing at RT. It is shown that this method is effective in obtaining the combination of high strength and electrical conductivity. After two passes, the higher strength can be achieved in TST condition (328 MPa yield strength and 331 MPa ultimate tensile strength), where the changing parameter is processing temperature from the first pass at 200 °C to the second pass at RT, as compared to two passes in RT condition (241 MPa yield strength and 250 MPa ultimate tensile strength) and two passes in 200 °C condition (239 MPa yield strength and 258 MPa ultimate tensile strength). This performance could be associated with grain refinement and nanosized precipitates in TST condition. Moreover, in contrast to RT condition, a higher electrical conductivity was observed in TST condition. It reveals that high strength and electrical conductivity of 6063 aluminum alloy can be obtained simultaneously by ECAP processing in TST condition because of ultrafine-grained microstructure and nanosized precipitates.

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 results show that the grain structure of weld under conventional MIG welding are coarse, oriented columnar grains, the ultimate tensile strength of weld joint is 286.5 MPa, the elongation rate of joint is 2.4%. The thermal gradient at the solid-liquid interface in the welding pool is decreased and the density of heterogeneous nucleation is enhanced by electromagnetical stirring plus single pulse, which resulted in the coarse and oriented columnar grains transforming to fine equiaxed grains; morphology and distribution of α(Al)-CuAl2 eutectic along the grain boundaries are improved, so it significantly improves the mechanical property of weld joint, the ultimate tensile strength of weld joint is up to 326.0 MPa, the elongation rate of joint reaches 7.8%.

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.

Typical Process

A typical process was developed to manufacture Cu-Cr-Zr-Mg alloy bars with high strength and high electrical conductivity. The microstructure and properties of the alloys were investigated by observations of optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, and measurements of tensile strength and electrical conductivity. The results showed that the process and thermo mechanical treatments were successfully developed to manufacture Cu-Cr-Zr-Mg alloy bars with good combinations of the ultimate tensile strength (602.5 MPa) and conductivity (85.4% IACS). The achievement of high strength and high electrical conductivity in the alloy could be ascribed to the interactions of strain hardening and precipitation hardening.

Microstructure and properties of Al–2 wt.%Zn–1 wt.%Cu–xMg (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 wt.%) alloy extrusion materials were investigated. The lattice constants for the (311) plane increased to 4.046858, 4.048483, 4.050114 and 4.051149 Å with the addition of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 wt.% of elemental Mg. The average grain size of the as-extruded Al alloys was found to be 328.7, 297.7, 187.0 and 159.3 μm for the alloys with 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 wt.% Mg content, respectively. The changes in the electrical conductivity by the addition of elemental Mg in Al–2 wt.%Zn–1 wt.%Cu alloy was determined, and it was found that for the addition of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 wt.% Mg, the conductivity decreased to 51.62, 49.74, 48.26 and 46.80 %IACS. The ultimate tensile strength of Al–2 wt.%Zn–1 wt.%Cu–0.7 wt.%Mg alloy extrusion was increased to 203.55 MPa. Thus, this study demonstrated the correlation between the electrical conductivity and strength for the Al–2 wt.%Zn–1 wt.%Cu–xMg alloys.

Effects Of Aging

The development trend for diagnostics is reducing the diameter of coaxial signal cables that comprise the probe cable. The thinner super-fine coaxial cable which is offering superior electronic and mechanical properties, such as 75 %IACS(International Annealed Copper Standard, electrical conductivity) and 700 ~ 800 MPa in tensile strength has to be developed. Cu-Ag based system is one of the most promising systems for high strength and high conductivity Cu alloys. In order to find the optimum conditions to obtain Cu-Ag-Zr-Co alloy with high strength and high electrical conductivity, the aging characteristics including work hardening of micro-Vickers hardness, tensile strength and electrical conductivity of this alloy were systematically measured at room temperature. Also the influence of aging treatment was investigated by transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) in this study. The aging treatment for precipitation was divided into two steps and carried out at various time and at different temperature and the multi-step aging treatment coupled with cold rolling was proposed for realizing Cu-Ag-Zr-Co alloys with high strength and high electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity was improved from 31 %IACS to 91 %IACS remarkably and the tensile strength was increased from 230Mpa to 690Mpa greatly by an optimization of alloy composition and manufacturing process including aging.
