- Abstract
CuAgZr alloy is well known for good compromise between high strength and high conductivity. The strengthening
is mainly contributed by the self-aligned nanosize Ag precipitate on {111} planes in the Cu matrix. In this study, the
nature of Ag precipitate in Cu–7wt%Ag–0.05wt%Zr during thermal processing is characterized to understand the
alloy microstructures and thus improve its mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. The solution treated
CuAgZr alloy samples were cold rolled with logarithmic strain of 2.3 and subsequently aged at various times. The
complementary small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques indicate the evolution
of precipitate size during different thermal routines. The radius of gyration of precipitate estimated from SAXS
measurement agrees with the measured size from TEM investigation. This paper discusses the effect of plastic
deformation on the Radius of gyration size of nanoscale Ag precipitate.- Organisation(s)
