A growing trend to use new oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) copper-based composites is observed recently world-wide. Yttria (Y203) and most rare earth oxides are poten tially attractive as dispersiods for copper-based composites owing to their thermodynamic stability. Cu-0.9Y203 (volume fraction, %) composites were prepared with Cu-0.4Y (mass fraction, %) alloy by in situ reaction at liquidus temperature. The objective of the work was to investigate changes in structure and strengthening mechanism of Cu Y203 composites. TEM observation and SAD analysis of the composites indicate that the obtained Y203 nano particles are uni formly distributed in copper matrix, their mean size and space between particles are 5.0 nm and 20 nm, respectively, and the cubic Y203 phase is coherent with copper matrix, which indicated (422)y2oa//(111)Cu and [011]Y2O3a//[112]cu orientation relationship. The strengthening mechanism of the composites is analyzed and explained in three aspects: matrix strengthening, fine particles strengthening according to the Orowan model and shear model. The tensile strength of Cu-0.9Y203 composites is 568 MPa, which is strengthened by both Orowan mechanism and shear mechanism,the strength value added by Orowan mechanism and shear mechanism can be calculated to be 185 and 195 MPa, respectively.
