Abstract: Copper/silicon carbide composites £¨Cu/SiC£© and copper/alumina composites £¨Cu/Al₂O₃£© were fabricated by the powder metallurgy method. The influence of reinforcement particles contents on the relevant properties of the composites and the microstructure of Cu/SiC and Cu/Al₂O₃ composites were studied. The reinforcement effects of nano-SiC and nano-Al₂O₃ particles were compared. The experimental results show that with the increase of the amount of nano-SiC and nano-Al₂O₃ particles, the density of the both composites decreases, the resistivity increases, whereas the hardness increases firstly and then drops. The softening temperatures of the composites are above 700¤@¡æ which is far higher than that of the pure copper, leading to the improvement of the thermal stability of the composites at high temperatures. Considering all factors, the reinforcement effects of nano-SiC are better than those of nano-Al₂O₃ when their contents are the same in the copper matrix.
