A Study of the Microstructure and Properties of Copper Composites Reinforced with Co – Ti

  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

The microstructure and the hardness of composites with copper matrix and reinforcing additions of 5, 10 and 15 wt.% Co – Ti obtained by mixing particles of the reinforcing powder with high-purity copper powder, pressing, and sintering at 1000°C are studied. The density of the composite materials is determined. The conditions for fabrication of the densest composite with a high hardness are found.
