Abstract

Abstract Materials having a high strength, a high electrical conductivity and a high heat resistance are produced by directly internally oxidizing a wire or plate of dilute copper alloy consisting of less than 0.2% Be, less than 0.5% mg. less than 1.0% Ti, less than 0.2% Zr, either single-componentwise or multicomponentwise, or therewith less than 0.9% Al and/or less than 0.9% Si with the total addition amount not in excess of 1%, the remainder being copper, at a temperature above 600* C. and at an internal oxidation velocity no smaller than a critical value. Such a production is carried preferably out by coating the wire or plate, with a slurry composed of cuprous oxide, a heat-stable sinter inhibitor, and water or an organic solvent, completely drying said slurry-coated wire or plate and then embedding said slurry-coated wire or plate in a protective agent and then effecting the internal oxidation.
