Abstract

The invention relates to a method for simultaneously improving the strength and electric conductivity of a Cu-Cr-Nb alloy. The alloy comprises the components with percent by weight: 0.5-5.0% of Cr, 0.5-5.0% of Nb, 0.01-1.00% of M and the balance copper, wherein M is at least three components selected from RE, B, P, Si, Ca, Zr, Li, Mg, Ti, Ni, Fe, Sn and Mn; and RE is at least one component selected from Ce, La, Y, Pr, Nd, Sm and Sc.
