The effect of fabrication mode on microstructure, texture and strength in cu-nb/ti composite (original) (raw)

The study investigates the influence of different fabrication modes—swaging, drawing, and a combination of both—on the microstructure, texture, and strength of Cu-Nb/Ti composite wires. It highlights the importance of achieving high mechanical strength in conductor wires for high-field pulsed magnets, noting that traditional methods often compromise electrical conductivity. Employing models of dislocation strengthening, the research correlates deformation methods with changes in microstructure and resulting tensile strength, underscoring the interplay between fabrication technique, microstructural evolution, and material properties.
