Excellent mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity of Cu-Co-Si-Ti alloy due to multiple strengthening

The high performance of copper alloys is widely welcomed due to their high electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical properties. These alloys are mainly used in electrical, electronic and aerospace fields. In the present work, we proposed a new class of Cu-Co-Si-Ti alloys by incorporating the multiple alloying elements, resulting in the multiple strengthening during heat treatment. It can be observed that Ti addition can significantly...
