A high strength and high conductivity copper alloy prepared by spray forming

This paper reports an experimental investigation into the use of the spray forming process to a high strength, high conductivity, copper alloy of composition Cu–1.33 wt.% Cr–0.78 wt.% Zr–0.09 wt.% Mg, with a refined microstructure increased solid solution of alloy elements, reduced oxidation and a high proportion of small precipitates.
