Abstract
The microstructure and properties of Cr3C2/Cu composites prepared by vacuum arc furnace with graphite crucible insolating copper crucible were investigated by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and OM (optical microscope). The results show that Cr can react with C in graphite crucible during melting to generate Cr3C2 particle distributed uniformly into the liquid Cu
and the Cr3C2 particle reinforced Cu matrix composites was prepared successfully. The micro-hardness
electric conductivity and softening temperature of composites are 184.8
45.76 MS/m and 540 ℃
respectively
showing desirable mechanical and electric properties.
