Abstract:
A new generation of ternary in situ metal matrix composites, based on Cu-Ag-Nb and Cu-Ag-Cr, with high strength, high conductivity, and a comparatively low melting point are investigated in this project and suggested for applications in the fields of high field magnet design and robotics. The samples were manufactured by inductive melting, casting, and wire drawing. The report concentrates on the investigation of the mechanical and electromagnetic properties and their relation to the microstructure, as well as on aspects associated with the industrial production of such compounds.
