Copper–chromium matrix composites reinforced by TiB2particles were prepared by in situ reaction between titanium and copper–boron alloy in the melt. The microstructures, mechanical, and electrical properties of the composite were investigated under as-cast and aging conditions. The results indicate that the TiB2particles are formed by in situ reaction in matrix. The addition of TiB2in composite reduces the segregation degree of Cr particles in matrix and inhibits the coarsening of Cr particles at high aging temperature. High hardness of Cu–Cr–TiB2composite is achieved due to the multiple hardening mechanisms, which are in situ TiB2particles hardening and precipitation hardening from Cr particles. The wear resistance of composite presents a dramatic improvement due to the formation of TiB2particles, and TiB2particles have significant effect on wear mechanism of Cu–Cr–TiB2composite. The conductivity of composite is lower than that of Cu–Cr alloy, which is attributed to higher resistivity of TiB2particles and the incremental interface scattering caused by TiB2particles. But the composites with high TiB2content still have considerable conductivity after aging.
