Designing B2-phase ordered Cu-Pd-Ag-Ru microfiber with strength-conductivity combination via melt-extraction and isothermal annealing
Copper alloys are widely used in the electrical and electronic devices due to their excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. However, the trade-off relationship between strength and conductivity limits their application in the electrical contacts and circuit leads. In this study, an experimental strategy based on melt extraction and appropriate post-heat treatment was proposed to design one kind of B2-phase ordered Cu-Pd-Ag-Ru microfiber. It was found that this microfiber displays the excellent comprehensive performance of the strength and the conductivity. In comparison with the cast alloy, the strength for the designed microfiber is increased by 2.75 times and there appears the 70 % enhancement for the electrical conductivity. The strengthening mechanisms can be attributed to the phase transition from FCC to B2 phase, grain refinement, and the formation of Ru and Ag precipitates. Furthermore, the significant improvement in electrical conductivity is primarily due to the introduction of the B2 ordered phase and the elongation of longitudinal grains. The current study not only provides one kind of excellent copper alloys for the electrical contacts and circuit leads, but also offers a new strategy for surmounting the strength-conductivity trade-off in metals.
