Abstract:As one of advanced Cu-based alloys, oxide particle-enhanced dispersion-strengthened copper alloys are widely used in rail transit, national defense industry and nuclear reactors. In this paper, copper alloy composites reinforced with Al2O3, Y2O3 and ZrO2 oxide particles are reviewed, and their fabriaction, microstructure and physical properties are summarized. The relative problems existing in development and application are given, and the development trend is analyzed and forecasted.
