More Details: Pre-aging treatment was demonstrated to significantly enhance the mechanical properties of Cu–10Fe–1Nb (wt.%) composites. Specifically, after rolling and aging at 400 °C for 8 h, the microhardness, tensile strength, and elongation of the pre-aged samples reached 163 HV, 559 MPa, and 11.2%, respectively. The refinement of Fe-rich phases in pre-aged samples was primarily attributed to the increased shear strain between the Fe-rich phases and the matrix, which was driven by the precipitation-strengthening effect induced by pre-aging. Additionally, the matrix of the pre-aged samples suffered significant refinement as dynamic recovery and recrystallization of the matrix were suppressed during the rolling process, forming a high-density dislocation structure that greatly enhances the work-hardening effect. The main contribution to strength improvement in the Cu–10Fe–1Nb composites was identified as precipitation strengthening, refinement strengthening, and work hardening. Moreover, compared with the sample without pre-aging treatment, the refinement strengthening and work hardening effects of pre-aged samples exhibited substantial improvements, with increment of 49 MPa and 21 MPa, respectively.
