With the development of the transportation, electric power, electronics and other fields,higher requirements have been put forward for copper alloys in strength and conductivity. The CuCrZr alloy is one of the ideal materials to meet these requirements. This paper summarizes the progress of the research on the alloying, designing and processing of CuCrZr alloy with the focus on the recent hot topics of CuCrZr alloys, discusses the influence of the processing methods presently under investigation on the microstructure and properties of CuCrZr alloy. The prospective research topics of the CuCrZr alloy have been also proposed.
