AbstractThe variation of θ (CuAI2) precipitate density as a function of heat treatment time and grain boundary misorientation was investigated in an Al-5 wt % Cu alloy. In this study, precipitate densities have been quantitatively linked to grain boundary structure. It was found that, for a given heat treatment time, the precipitate density varied in a reproducible manner (108 to 1010 ppts/cm2) as a function of misorientation between the grains (20 to 60 degrees). Additionally, misorientation was found to be the most important factor governing the precipitate density at a given grain boundary. The grain boundary plane orientation played a secondary role in determining the precipitate density. Bollmann O-lattice modeling allows comparison of the relative effects of grain boundary plane orientation relative to the misorientation between grains.
