Abstract: The effects of annealing process on the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of Cu-Te alloys were studied via AG-10TA electronic universal machine, SB2230 digital electric bridge, SEM and EDS. The results show that recrystallization and precipitation occur simultaneously during the annealing process of Cu-Te alloys. Tellurium precipitates as Cu2Te second phase. The grain size increases with the increasing of annealing temperature and time. The electrical conductivity increases monotonously. The tensile strength of Cu-Te alloy is higher than that of pure copper.
