抄録

Since the Cu–Be alloys have excellent age hardenability, many investigations have been carried out on their characteristics. The X-ray diffraction technique and electrical resistivity measurement were mainly used in earlier work, but recently the use of transmission electron microscopy has contributed greatly to clarify the mechanism of precipitation.<BR>In this study, the Cu–Be alloys were aged for 2 hr at temperatures between 120° and 350°C and the mechanism of precipitation hardening was studied by hardness measurement, optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the aging sequence of the Cu–Be alloys is α phase→G. P. (I) zone→G. P. (II) zone→γ′ phase→anomalous γ′ phase in the grains and α phase→dilute α phase plus γ phase at the grain boundaries. The γ phase at the grain boundary in both Cu-2%Be and Cu–Be 25 alloys initialy precipitates at the aging temperature of 250°C. Furthermore, the effect of Co on the precipitation hardening was studied by optical microscopy and X-ray microanalysis.
