► Rolling of pure copper and Cu–12.1%Al–4.1%Zn at liquid nitrogen temperature. ► TEM observation shows that reduced stacking fault energy results in significant twinning activity. ► Investigating mechanical properties and deformation behavior via tensile and stress relaxation tests. ► Network dislocation strengthening model used to describe yield strength of cryo-rolled samples.
Pure copper and Cu–12.1

at.%Zn alloy were subjected to rolling in liquid nitrogen. TEM studies showed that dynamic recovery during the deformation process was effectively suppressed and hence microstructures with dislocation substructure and deformation twins were formed. Mechanical properties were assessed via microtensile testing that shows improved yield strength, 520
