Deformation Behavior of La2O3‐Doped Copper during Equal Channel Angular Pressing
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.By additions of strengthening elements and/or structure optimization, the mechanical properties of copper can be increased while keeping favorable electric conductivity. By combining addition of La2O3 and processing by equal channel angular pressing, substructure development is achieved, leading to increase in microhardness to more than double the ...
