| Abstract | |
In this work, the effects of Zr additions on the microstructure and phase stability of the initially annealed Cu-9Al-10Mn-3Ag alloy were studied using optical microscopy (OM), differential thermal analysis (DTA), microhardness measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and magnetization measurements as a function of temperature and applied field. The results showed that the increase in Zr concentration decreased the alpha-Cu phase grain size and increased the alloys microhardness. The Curie temperature of the alloy was not modified by the Zr additions. Moreover, the precipitation of Ag-rich phase occurred preferentially at the intergranular region and the addition of 5%Zr increased the melting temperature of the Cu-9Al-10Mn-3Ag alloy and contributed for the formation of the Cu2ZrAl phase. A mechanism was proposed for the Cu2ZrAl phase formation in the Cu-9Al-10Mn-3Ag-5Zr alloy. (AU) | |
