Abstract Cu-6%Ag (mass fraction) microcomposite, of which the primary structure consists of dendritic Cu matrix and non-equilibrium eutecticcolonies, was prepared by heavy cold drawing and intermediate heat treatments.The scales of different microstructural components were determined at different draw ratios and the strain compatibility was discussed by evaluating the strain level and strain increase rate for each microstructural component. The microstructural components display different strain levels and strain increase rates in different ranges of drawing strain because both have different characters of strain hardening. Therefore, the strain level and strain increase rate show a non-synchronous increase between both
microstructural components with the increase of draw ratio when the microstructural components evolve from original as-cast morphology into filamentary structure.
