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

Constitutive modeling of hot deformation behavior of vacuum hot pressed Cu–8Cr–4Nb alloy

“…The microstructural stability and concurrent retention of mechanical properties have also been reported [10,11,14]. Further, various studies on characterization of extruded, hot-pressed and hot-rolled material have also been reported at both room and elevated temperatures [11,15,16]. However, studies related to the hot deformation behavior of Cu-8Cr-4Nb alloy have not been reported.…”

A statistical study of the effects of processing upon the creep properties of GRCop-84

“…Secondary electron SEM images of polished and etched sections were used for the analyses. The average grain size of the small extrusion and the production sheet were determined using orientation image mapping (OIM) as described elsewhere [16]. Polished but unetched samples were used for OIM grain size determinations.…”

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].…”
