Age hardenable Cu-1wt. % Ti-1wt. % TiB 2 composite was produced by adding boron powder to CuTi melt. TiB 2 nano particles formed via in situ reaction in the melt. This composite was aged in the temperature range 300-550 ºC for 1-25 hrs. The age hardening behavior of composite then compared with that of binary Cu-2 wt. % Ti alloy. The microstructure of the composite was examined with highresolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The results of this study showed that TiB 2 particles can act as heterogeneous nucleation site for '(Cu 4 Ti) precipitates. Substantial increase in tensile and yield stress of composite (i.e. 63% and 186%) occurred relative to the solution state, after ageing at 450 ºC for 10hrs. The maximum strength was associated with precipitation of metastable Cu 4 Ti near to the ultra hard TiB 2 particles within the matrix. However the mechanical properties of composite are comparable with Cu-2 wt. % Ti alloy , the maximum value of the hardness and electrical conductivity of composite (28 %IACS , 258 HV) and Cu-2 wt. % Ti (17% IACS , 264 HV) are obtained when solution treated samples were aged at 450 ºC for 10 hrs and 15hrs, respectively.
