Cu-Cr-Zr alloy was successfully prepared with adding Zr by impacting-melting method and by cored wire method

and absorption rate of Zr element in the alloy prepared by the kinds of method was analyzed

meanwhile

as-cast microstructure of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy prepared was observed.The results show that

compared with that in the alloy prepared by impacting-melting method

Zr absorption rate in the alloy prepared by cored wire method is increased by approximately 32.54%

apparently decreasing the product cost.As-cast microstructure of the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy prepared is composed of matrix Cu

Cr-enrichment phase and CuCr-enrichment phase

and absence of CrZr phase can be observed.Needle-like fiber Cr-enrichment phase or Cr-enrichment particle is mainly distributed into the matrix

and a part of Cr with Zr is reacted to generate ternary phase.Irregular CuZr-enrichment phase is mainly distributed along grain boundary.
