Grain refinement kinetics and strengthening mechanisms in Cu-0.3Cr-0.5Zr alloy subjected to intense plastic deformation

Abstract

The ultrafine-grained microstructures, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of a Cu-0.3%Cr-0.5%Zr alloy subjected to equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) at a temperature of 400°C to a total strain of 1, 2, and 4 were investigated. The ultrafine-grained microstructure resulting from progressive increase in the misorientations of strain-induced low-angle boundaries during the multiple ECAP process is considered as a type of continuous dynamic recrystallizatio
