In order to investigate the influence of vanadium on aging dynamics of Cu-Ni-Si alloy, the microstructure, hardness and electrical conductivity of the cold rolled Cu-Ni-Si alloys with varying V content were systematically studied. The results show that V can postpone the recovery and accelerate the precipitation with (NiV)2Si compound. Consequently, V can increase hardness obviously. However, because of the precipitation during the hot rolling procedure, V addtion has a little harmed to electrical conductivity.
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.
