Abbreviated Series Title |
High purity (HP) aluminum and commercial purity (CP) aluminum (major impurities: ~250
at. ppm Si and ~130 at. ppm Fe) are alloyed with ~250 to ~1100 at. ppm Sc and ~50 at. ppm
RE (RE = La, Ce, Pr, or Nd). The alloys are homogenized at 640 C and aged at 300 C. The
precipitation kinetics, basic mechanical properties, and microstructure are studied using AC
electrical conductivity, microhardness measurements, scanning electron microscopy in
conjunction with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and atom-probe tomography,
respectively. The Fe and RE elements form micrometer-scale diameter Al~3(Fe,RE) primary
precipitates, which have no effect on the mechanical properties. Silicon accelerates the
precipitation kinetics of nanometer-scale diameter Al3Sc precipitates, increasing their number
density, thereby resulting in a higher microhardness values for CP aluminum than the HP
aluminum having the same Sc concentration. Additionally, the Sc equilibrium solubility in
the -Al matrix is estimated and Orowan's strengthening mechanism is confirmed for the
Al3Sc precipitates. |
