Stability of reinforcements (CrB2/TiB2) and lubricants (C/MoS2) in Cu matrix during the sintering process by Chen Zhang, Lei Jia, Jia-mei Zhang, Wu Pan, Zhen-lin Lu, Zhi-guo Xing

“…Both CrB2 and TiB2 can co-exist with C in the Cu matrix, but react with MoS2 to form Cu2S, Mo2S3 as well as ternary CuCrS2 and CuTi2S4 phase, since the negative Gibbs free energy change of the corresponding reaction equations. Finally, the strengthening effect of CrB2 and TiB2 along with the lubricating effect of graphite (C) are promise to work in Cu matrix from the viewpoint of crystal structure integrity.…”
