Abstract

The tensile properties and microstructure evolution of Cu–0.2Cr–0.08Zr alloy during high temperature tensile process were investigated. The results showed that with the test temperature increasing, both strength and elongation decreases slowly, the addition of Zr can improve the high temperature properties due to the small precipitates in the matrix. The high temperature fracture mechanism of this alloy was ductile fracture. With the test temperature increasing, the reduction of area decreased, less shallow dimples and more large voids can be observed on the fracture surface of sample.
