Examination of copper matrix composite materials OT: Original Title [Betrachtungen zu Verbundwerkstoffen mit Kupfermatrix.]

摘要

Copper matrix materials are finding more and more applications in Cu-Nb/Ti filament superconductor cable, spray compacted composite materials, CuC carbon brushes and sliding contacts, dispersion hardened composite materials for welding electrodes, CuW for contacts, DCB-substrates for hybrid and power electronics, and other special products and components. Advantages of copper matrix composites include the basic physical and mechanical characteristics of copper itself, its cost effectiveness, and its recyclability. Multiple alloy possibilities with copper make the metal very attractive as well.
