摘要
Dispersion-strengthened copper (DSC) with WC as dispersoid was prepared bymeans of mechanical alloying (MA) following the traditional powder metallurgy (P/M) route. Influenceof WC content on the properties of material was discussed in detail, and result shows that when thevolume fraction of WC is 1.6%, the material achieves the best overall property, and a little moreparticle addition led to a less superior property owing to occurrence of particle agglomeration. Theas-sintered composite was designed to undergo a deformation of 75%. It is proved that appropriatedeformation is helpful to attain a higher density and consequently better properties. Deformedmaterial was then exposed to elevated temperature to test its effect on material. Annealing for 1 hat 1173K caused material to recover quite completely, but no obvious recrystallization was observed.It's supposed the particles handicaps motion of dislocations and material demonstrates goodretention of strength with substantial improvement in elongation.
