In this study, properties and fabrication of FeCrC reinforced copper alloys by mechanical alloying were examined
using mechanical grinding, optical microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscope, X-ray diffraction, and hardness
testing. Mechanical alloying (MA) was the technique available to mix Cu-FeCrC particles. High FeCrC provided
more cold work during milling. Thus, smaller crystallite size and greater internal stress occurred in Cu alloys. High
performance Cu was further strengthened by a combination of fine grain and alloying. C23C6, Cr7C3, and α–Cu
were detected in the structure. The hardness of Cu increased significantly after grinding with FeCrC.
