Influence of Elevated Temperatures on Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of C106 Copper Investigated by In Situ Heated Stage EBSD Analysis

This study presents two analogs of extant industrial thermomechanical cycles to look at the microstructural evolution of C106 phosphorous deoxidized copper throughout. Vickers hardness testing was employed to assess the influence on post-formed mechanical properties. In situ heated stage EBSD analyses using a Carl Zeiss Sigma FEGSEM and Gatan Murano heated stage were employed to establish the temperature region where recrystallization initiates to better understand results from bulk post facto EBSD analysis.
