  • Abstract
    The physical metallurgy of copper and some of its alloys is of particular interest to electrical engineers, since copper is used so widely in electric apparatus. Illustrations are given in this article of certain basic metallurgical phenomena determining properties and performance of some of the more specialized alloys with particular reference to the effects of elevated temperatures.
