Copper Based Powder Metallurgy Composite for Electrical Applications

Abstract

This paper discusses Copper Metal Matrix Composites. It is obvious that copper matrix composites have been heavily relied upon by many industries because of their high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, excellent electrocatalytic properties, and high strength. The excellent electrical conductivity of copper-based materials also enables these materials to function as lubricants and anti-frictional materials. These materials were widely used in transportation, electrical contact transmission, and aerospace. Copper-based metal matrix composites have wide application due to their excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal characteristics. Copper based metal matrix composites are also corrosion resistant and have a high strength. A contemporary study evaluated the effects of different parameters on powder metallurgy fabricated copper matrix metal composites. The focus was on understanding the applications and mechanical properties of copper-based composite materials.
