Production Technology, Physical, Mechanical and Performance Characteristics of Cu-Zr-Y-Mo Finely-Dispersed Microlayer Composite Materials

Abstract

The production of Cu-Zr-Y-Mo Finely-Dispersed (FD) microlayer composite materials for electrical contacts by the method of electron-beam evaporation and layer-by-layer condensation from the vapor phase is described and the chemical composition, structure, density, electrical conductivity, hardness, and main mechanical characteristics of the materials in the temperature range from 290 to 1070 K are studied.
