Achieving high strength and high conductivity synergy through hierarchical precipitation stimulated structural heterogeneities in a Cu-Ag-Zr alloy
Cu alloys can be plastically deformed to reach ultra-high strength, but often at an expense of their electrical conductivity. Here we report that the introduction of hierarchical precipitations and the resultant microstructural heterogeneities at different scales could overcome the strength-conducti...
