Grain size stabilization of nanocrystalline copper at high temperatures by alloying with tantalum

•A mean grain size of 167nm is retained after annealing at 97% of the melting point.•Hardness surpasses conventional pure nanocrystalline Cu by 2.5GPa.•Extreme stability is attributed to both thermodynamic and kinetic stabilization. Nanocrystalline Cu–Ta alloys belong to an emerging class of immisci...
