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. MA had a very good ability 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 detected in the structure. The hardness of Cu increased significantly after grinding with FeCrC.
