SURVEY OF LITERATURE ON THE EFFECT OF TESTING TEMPERATURE ON THE PROPERTIES OF WROUGHT COPPER BASE ALLOYS

摘要

A survey of the literature was conducted to determine the ef¬fect of testing temperature on the tensile properties, modulus of elasticity, hardness, fatigue strength, electrical resistivity, and thermal conductivity of wrought copper base alloys,nThe effect of low temperatures is to increase the tensile and yield strengths, the elongation, modulus of elasticity, hardness, and fatigue strength from their room temperature values. The reduction of area usually does not show any significant change. The electrical resistivity decreases with decreasing temperature.
