Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Highly Electrically Conductive Cu-0.5, Cu-1 and Cu-2at%Zr Alloy Wires　

Hypoeutectic Cu–Zr binary alloys have originally been studied in order to develop wires with both high strengths and high electrical conductivities. This study aimed to improve the electrical conductivities of Cu–0.5, Cu–1 and Cu–2 at% Zr alloys, which have Zr contents lower than those of high-strength Cu–3, Cu–4 and Cu–5 at% Zr alloys.
