The evolution of the mechanical properties of multilayer copper–iron composites with a number of layers of 11 to 1620 in annealing at 750°C is described. It has been established that properties of composites composed of more than 300–400 layers depend on their number and the annealing time. We have experimentally confirmed the possibility to develop microlaminates whose mechanical and technological characteristics exceed substantially those of matrix metals.
