China 24(2014) 431−440 Properties improvement and microstructure changes during thermomechanical treatment in sintered Cu−Au alloy Ivana MARKOVIC, Svetlana NESTOROVIC, Desimir MARKOVIC, Dragoslav GUSKOVIC Technical Faculty in Bor, University of Belgrade, VJ 12, 19210 Bor, Serbia Received 13 June 2013; accepted 12 September 2013 Abstract: The changes in hardness, microhardness, electrical conductivity and microstructure of the sintered Cu−4%Au (mole fraction) alloy during thermomechanical treatment were studied. Following the primary strain hardening, an annealing of rolled alloy in the temperature range of 60−350 °C provided additional strengthening due to the anneal hardening effect. An increase in properties took place in two stages, and the best combination of properties was achieved in the alloy pre-rolled with 40% reduction after annealing at 260 °C. Significant microstructural changes followed the changes of properties in the course of the thermomechanical treatment. Key words: Cu−Au alloys; anneal hardening; thermomechanical treatment; hardness; microhardness; electrical conductivity range ordered arrangement of copper and gold atoms. 1 Introduction During the low temperature annealing of such disordered solid solution after cold deformation, a significant Continuous technological progress demands the strengthening occurs. The described phenomenon is production of st
