Microstructural and electrical properties of powder metallurgy (P/M) copper alloy with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated. The Cu0.5mass% Ti pre-alloyed powder (Cu0.5Ti) was made by water atomization process. The powders coated with un-bundled CNTs by using the zwitterionic surfactant water solution containing CNTs were consolidated at 1223K in vacuum by spark plasma sintering, and then extruded at 1073K. The P/ MC u0.5Ti alloy without CNTs (monolithic alloy) had 202MPa yield stress (YS) and 42.5 International-Annealed-CopperStandard % (IACS%) conductivity. The extruded Cu0.5Ti composite alloy containing CNTs revealed small decrease of YS compared to the monolithic Cu0.5Ti alloy. On the other hand, the composites indicated a higher electrical conductivity than that of the monolithic alloy. For example, Cu0.5Ti with 0.19mass% CNTs showed 175.8MPa YS and 83.5 IACS% conductivity. In the case of the Cu0.5Ti composite with CNTs, the intermetallic compounds such as Cu4Ti and TiC were observed around CNTs by TEM-EDS analysis. The amount of the solid solute Ti in the above Cu0.5Ti composite alloy matrix was 10% of the monolithic Cu0.5Ti alloy, and resulted in the remarkable increment of its electrical conductivity due to the decrease of solid solute Ti content.
