Microstructure and properties of multiscale and multiphase ceramic particles reinforced Cu-Cr-Zr alloy prepared by turbulence shock homogeneous casting with B4C

Key Points

• Enhanced mechanical properties were observed in the Cu-Cr-Zr alloy due to multiscale and multiphase ceramic reinforcement.
• The study reported a significant improvement in hardness and thermal stability with B4C ceramic particles.
• Assessment using turbulence shock homogeneous casting showed a uniform distribution of particles within the alloy.
• Potential applications in high-performance materials are highlighted, emphasizing the need for further optimization.
