Creep properties of an extruded copper–8% chromium–4% niobium alloy

Creep fracture and load transfer in metal–matrix composite

“…In agreement with Decker, Groza, and Gibeling [12], the correlation of creep rupture data with equation 2 indicates that creep rupture is controlled by the creep deformation mechanisms.…”

Effect of hot rolling on the enhancement of mechanical properties of low density Cu–Cr–Nb sintered alloy

“…Due to the presence of fine and uniformly distributed Cr 2 Nb dispersoids in the Cu matrix, the secondary processing of Cu-Cr-Nb alloy faces unique challenge. Studies on sintering and behaviour of these alloys are limited and subsequent thermo-mechanical processing has been given negligible attention [15,16].…”

The influence of post-processing on creep and microstructure of rolled Cu–8Cr–4Nb

“…For this application, depending upon the specifics of engine design, GRCop-84 could be used in extruded or rolled conditions, with or without friction stir welding needed for joining. Recent work has shown that there is an order of magnitude difference in creep rates between extruded and rolled material conditions [4]. Due to the substantial differences in creep rate with respect to material processing conditions, it is important to further understand this material's mechanical properties as a function of processing methods.…”
