Abstract The yield stress of a copper single crystal containing vitreous B2O3 particles was measured as a function of temperature (77–1073 K) and strain rate (5.6 × 10−6−5.6 × 10−4sec−1). Although the B2O3 particles in the copper matrix are a plastically non-deformable solid at low temperatures, they became liquid-like at high temperatures, above approximately 550 K. The yield stress of the Cu-B2O3 alloy at low temperatures was explained by the Orowan mechanism and the modulus-corrected yield stress of the Cu-B2O3 alloy at 1073 K was about four-fifths of the values at low temperatures. It was found that the liquid B2O3 particles could be the effective hardening centres even at high temperatures. At 873 and 1073 K, the yield stresses of the Cu-B2O3 alloy varied with the logarithm of the strain rates.
