Intermediate temperature embrittlement of copper alloys

Andreas Mortensen, Vincent Laporte

Copper and its alloys generally display a severe reduction in ductility between roughly 300 and 600 degrees C, a phenomenon variously called 'intermediate temperature embrittlement' or 'ductility trough behaviour'. This review of the phenomenon begins by p ...

Intermediate temperature grain boundary phenomena in copper alloys

Copper and copper alloys typically experience a sharp loss in ductility at intermediate temperature, induced by grain boundary damage and fracture processes. The susceptibility of the material to intermediate temperature embrittlement is, as a result, stro ...

Microstructure and embrittlement of leaded copper alloys

Laurent Felberbaum

Mechanisms responsible for the embrittlement of leaded "free-machining" copper alloys at intermediate temperatures (i.e. around 400 °C) are examined using a combination of microstructural and mechanical characterization. Tensile tests are conducted on pure ...
