Investigation of the Solid Solution Hardening Mechanism of Low-Alloyed Copper–Scandium Alloys

The addition of alloying elements is a crucial factor in improving the mechanical properties of pure copper, particularly in terms of enhancing its yield strength and hardness. This study examines the influence of scandium additions (up to 0.27 wt.%) on low-alloyed copper. Following the casting and...
