Abstract

The structural parameters ensuring high strength and low electrical resistance have been analyzed in Cu–Cr alloys exposed to severe plastic deformation (SPD) and aging. Specific resistance and strength characteristics have been modeled for a Cu–0.5 wt % Cr alloy with a nanostructure state caused by SPD. A comparison of modeling data with experimental values reveals the validity of the approach chosen for describing the above states. The formation of nanostructure states with high strength and low electrical resistance is shown to be due to simultaneous effects depending on the treatment conditions of materials.
