Copper

Using the multi-principal element based high entropy alloy (HEA) concept, single-step ultra refinement and solid- state alloying of Cu with NiTi, Y, Fe, Cr, and Co were achieved simultaneously for the first time via friction stir processing (FSP). A …

High thermal and electrical conductivities, corrosion resistance and relatively good strength lead to use of copper and its alloys for several engineering applications. Copper alloys also find application in the nuclear industry for manufacturing …
