The paper with the title “Mechanical behaviour and microstructure of heat treated Cu-Ni-Si alloy” authored by Mr. Anagnostis Toulfatzis, Dr. Athanasios Vazdirvanidis and Dr. George Pantazopoulos from ELKEME S.A. as well as Mr. Paul Stavroulakis and Assistant Professor Spyros Papaefthymiou from NTUA, was presented in the International Conference, Copper Alloys 2018, Milan, Italy, April 11-12, 2018.
In the frame of this research work, the mechanical behaviour and its relation to the microstructure of a Cu-Ni-Si alloy, subjected to different heat treatment cycles, were investigated. Tensile, bend and hardness testing, in addition to Optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy – Electron Backscatter Diffraction were employed, as the main analytical techniques, in the context of the present investigation.
