We investigated the microstructures of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) processed sintered composites of copper (Cu) and tantalum (Ta). These composites were produced with nominal Ta volume percentages ranging from 25% to 75%. Additional composites of the same nominal Ta content were prepared with a minor amount of titanium (Ti) added to facilitate interphase bonding. Ti addition was found to markedly improve the strength and co-deformability of the composites, allowing reliable extrusion of Cu-Ta composites with novel microstructures. A major influence of the Ti appears to be to soften the Ta, which contributes to improved co-deformability by reducing the flow stress mismatch between the composite constituents. Here, a change in the fracture surface morphology in the Ti-modified composite compared to the unmodified composite suggests that the Ti may also improve cohesion between Cu and Ta by reducing Ta surface oxides.
