Changes in the microstructural characteristics and phase composition of copper plated conductors CCA-20 in the temperature range of 100-600 °C were studied by XRD and SEM methods. Fiducial markers for determining the temperature of exposure to conductors are the appearance of the Al2Cu phase at the phase boundary of the conductor at temperatures above 300 °C and the existence of the Al4Cu9 phase in the temperature range of 300-400 °C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
