High strength conductors: CuAg tapes — •Jens Freudenberger, Julia Lyubimova, and Ludwig Schultz — IFW Dresden, Institute for Metallic Materials; PO-Box 270116; D-01171 Dresden

Conductor materials with a high mechanical strength and a high electrical conductivity are required for a number of applications. There especially is a growing interest in tapes and strips for connectors. CuAg tapes, prepared by conventional casting, heat treatment and rolling, show the beneficial combination of high electrical conductivity and high mechanical strength. A combination of 60%IACS and 1.2GPa is achieved and referred to the microstructure of the material.
