What factors affect the elastic modulus and conductivity of copper strips

In the elastic deformation stage of copper material, its stress and strain become positively related (that is, in accordance with Hooke's law), and its share coefficient is called copper elastic modulus. Copper elastic modulus is the magnitude of stress required when unit strain is generated; copper is conductive The rate refers to the ability of the metal such as red copper to allow current to pass, and is the ratio of the resistivity relative to the IACS copper specification. Under certain conditions, the value of copper conductivity is determined. Then affectCopper stripWhat are the factors of elastic modulus and conductivity?

1. Factors affecting the elastic modulus of red copper: The elastic modulus of red copper strips is only related to the chemical composition of the red copper material and the external temperature, and has nothing to do with the change of the structure and the heat treatment state.

2. Factors affecting the conductivity of copper:

(1) Different metals have different electron densities.

(2) Temperature and metal structural defects will reduce the mean free path of electrons:

①Defects in metal: Various defects in special-shaped copper tubes, such as impurity atoms, vacancies, internal (grain boundary) dislocations, and external appearance form lattice distortions that cause electron wave scattering, and then affect conductivity.

②Temperature: The effect of temperature on metal resistance is due to the thermal oscillation of the ion lattice caused by the temperature to form the scattering of electron waves. The increase in temperature will intensify the ion oscillation and the amplitude of the thermal oscillation, and the disorder of atoms will increase, which will cause the copper The band resistivity increases with the increase of temperature.
