A novel Cu–Ni–Zn–Al alloy with high strength through precipitation hardening

Effect of addition of Ni and Si on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Cu–Zn alloys

“…Table I listed some Cu-Zn alloys with different mechanical properties. 12,[36][37][38][39][40] With the increase of Zn concentration, the tensile strength increased accordingly. The addition of the third component would improve the tensile strength, 38,40 as well as severe plastic deformation (equal channel angular pressing, ECAP) would also increase the tensile strength of the investigated alloys.…”

“…A great number of nanoscale precipitates with an L1 2 -type ordered structure were formed in the Cu-Zn-Ni-Al alloy after aging treatment. 12 Many researchers have previously focused on the precipitation behavior in APSAs as opposed to the solute atom dislocation pinning behavior in SSSAs. These studies have been used to enhance their combination properties such as hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, machinability, and corrosion resistance.…”

“…These studies have been used to enhance their combination properties such as hardness, tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, machinability, and corrosion resistance. [12][13][14][15][16][17] However, investigations on the morphology, precipitation, and strengthening of an alloy with both aging hardening and solid solution hardening still require more extensive explorations.…”

Effect of V Addition on Microstructure and Properties of Cu-1.6Ni-1.2Co-0.65Si Alloys

“…(3) Figure 11. Properties of various alloys with the designed Cu-1.6Ni-1.2Co-0.65Si-0.1V alloy [8,18,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40].…”

Microcalorimetric study of the annealing hardening mechanism of a Cu–2.8Ni–1.4Si (at%) alloy

“…The majority of these studies explain such resistance by the formation of extremely fine binary and/or ternary precipitates that hinder the movement of dislocations, lending the material a high yield stress [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
