Description
The phenomenon of high strength in steel, induced by copper precipitate, was investigated using a combination of metallographic and microscopic techniques in conjunction with the determination of mechanical properties. It was observed that the presence of copper precipitate during the aging process increased the strength of the steel from 495 MPa to 526 MPa. The investigation confirmed that copper is a viable element to be used to increase the strength of steel for structural application.
