Strength, hardness, and ductility characteristics were determined for a series of palladium-copper alloys that compositionally vary from 5 to 25 weight percent copper. Alloy specimens subjected to vacuum annealing showed clear evidence of solid solution strengthening. These specimens showed, as a function of increasing copper content, increased yield strength, ultimate strength, and Vickers microhardness, while their ductility was little affected by compositional differences. Annealed alloy specimens subsequently subjected to exposure to hydrogen at 323 K and PH2 = 1 atm showed evidence of hydrogen embrittlement up to a composition of ~15 wt. % Cu. The magnitude of the hydrogen embrittlement decreased with increasing copper content in the alloy.

Copper and copper alloys had various applications in tremendous areas due to their unique properties, such as good conductivity, good thermal conductivity and so on. However, applications of copper and copper alloys were severely restricted as the result of the limited strength at room temperature and poor wear-resistance at high temperature. In this paper, we investigated the preparation of Cu-Cr-Zr/AlN nanocomposites by mechanical alloying process and then powder metallurgy technology. XRD and SEM were performed for the phase and morphology characterization. The conductivity properties were also tested and the results showed that Cu-Cr-Zr/AlN nanocomposites exhibited excellent conductivity behavior.
