Abstract

Polycrystalline boron-alloyed α + β Cu–Al–Ni compositions subjected to high-temperature thermomechanical treatment (HTMT) via forging and rolling are studied for the first time. Optical, scanning, and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis were used in combination with measurements of tensile mechanical properties to study the peculiarities of the microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties of these alloys. The peculiarities of the microstructure and mechanical behavior of alloys differing in their aluminum and boron contents, which were subjected to HTMT, have been determined. The alloys were prepared in the fine-grained state, which determines the increase in the functional strength and plastic characteristics. A schedule of HTMT of bulk Cu–Al–Ni–(B) alloys is proposed.

We thank D.I. Davydov and S.V Afanas’ev for performed HTMT and mechanical tensile tests of the alloys.

Funding

The synthesis of the alloys, in particular, boron-alloyed compositions and the study of the effect of HTMT on the structure and mechanical properties were financially supported by the Russian Science Foundation, project no. 22-72-00056, https://rscf.ru/project/22-72-00056/IPM Ur RAN. The technology of HTMT of forged alloys was fulfilled in terms of state assignment of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (theme Struktura, no. 122021000033-2). The study was performed using equipment available in the Collective Access Testing Center for Nanotechnologies and Advanced Materials at the Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, Ural Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.
