Abstract: The ablation resistance of Cu and Cu/ Al2O3 subjected to 200 spark discharges was compared in this work. It appears that the volume lost in the course of sparking was 6 times higher for Cu than for Cu/ Al2O3 composite. Linear dependences of the amount of loss material on the number of electrical discharge analytical cycles for Cu/ Al2O3 composite material and pure copper were determined. Cu/ Al2O3 composite failure mode includes the evaporation as well as melting of constituents. The interaction of spark with the substrate is quite a discrete process strongly affected by local chemistry (composition). It results in irregular phases with respect to morphology as well as composition.

Keywords: ablation resistance, copper matrix, alumina preform
