Abstract

Copper wire containing strong chromium ferrite needles has been produced by aligning the chromium ferrite phase of a two-phase Cu−Fe−Cr alloy into needles by cold drawing and subsequently annealing the wire at 480°C. At this temperature the chromium ferrite needles exhibit marked age-hardening. The volume fraction of the chromium ferrite needles in the alloy investigated was nearly 25 pct. Strength up to 50 kg per sq mm with nearly 8 pct elongation has been achieved in 3 mm-wire annealed at 480°C. The annealed wire can be drawn again to give a further increase in strength up to 73 kg per sq mm.
