Effects of Cooling Rate on the Microstructure and Properties of Cu-Cr Alloy
The cooling rate of Cu-12.5Cr powder with various diameters prepared by gas atomization process was calculated by the convection heat-transfer theory. The effects of cooling rate on morphology and distribution of Cr phase in the alloy
and on hardness and lattice constant have been investigated by OM(optical microscope)
micro-hardness meter and XRD (X-ray diffraction). The results reveal that the hardness of the Cu-12.5Cr powder is increased by about 100%
and the grain size of Cu phase in the alloy is decreased while the grain size of Cr phase is firstly reduced then increased with the increase of cooling rate from 104 K/s to 105 K/s.
