Effects of thermal annealing and ion irradiation on the properties and microstructures of copper alloys. [AMZIRC (Cu-Zr) and AMAX-MZC (Cu-Cr-Zr-Mg)]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6574831

High-strength, high conductivity copper alloys have recently been developed for a variety of technologically challenging applications, including proposed nuclear fusion reactors. The purpose of this thesis research is to examine the effects of high temperatures and radiation levels on the microstructural stability of two commercial high-strength, high conductivity copper alloys, AMZIRC (Cu-Zr) and AMAX-MZC (Cu-Cr-Zr-Mg). 110 refs., 68 figs., 13 tabs.
