Abstract: Precipitation form of Zr in CuCoBeZr alloy during solidificotion.cooling and final aging,as well as its effect on the high temperature properties have been studied and discussed.Results show that during solidificotion and cooding.Zr precipitates as fine particle.Cu_3Zr,which pre- vents X-Cu grains from growing and provides more nuclei for CoBe and hence leads to finer primary CoBe.Fine Cu_3Zr partrticles also precipitate during aging. Because Co_3Zr is difficult to coalesce at high temperatures,the recrystallization temper- uture increases and the high temperature mechanical properties improve.

Key words: CuCoBeZr alloy, Zr
