    abstractEN: The study is aimed at comparing the changes which occur in the microstructure and thermo-physical properties of pure copper (99.9%) and when copper alloyed with chromium and zirconium subjected to severe plastic deformation (SPD). The plastic deformation techniques employed were hydrostatic extrusion (HE), equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), and a combination of these two processes. The materials thus obtained had an ultra-fine-grained structure with the thermo-physical properties differing from those of the untreated materials. It appeared that there is a correlation between the deformation method employed and the thermo-physical properties of the materials, such as diffusivity and specific heat.score: 8collation: 278-28
