Abstract: | Structural and phase transformations that occur during mechanical alloying (MA) and subsequent annealing of nanocrystalline Cu-Cr-C alloys obtained from copper and chromium powders and graphite or xylene as the source of carbon have been studied. It is shown that, when using graphite, a supersaturated Cu(Cr) solid solution and an X-ray amorphous Cr-C phase are formed during MA. Heat treatment leads to their decomposition and the appearance of Cr3C2 in the nanocrystalline copper matrix. When xylene is used as the source of carbon, no strongly supersaturated Cu(Cr) solid solution and no X-ray amorphous Cr-C phase are formed, but the same volume fraction of chromium carbide, i.e., 20–24 vol %, appears. When graphite is used, the carbide is formed after shorter times of MA. |
