Aluminum-lithium alloys have a low density and high strength to weight ratio. They are being developed for the aerospace industry.The high strength of Al-Li can be attributed to precipitation hardening. Unfortunately when aged, Al-Li aquires a low ductility and fracture toughness. The precipitate in Al-Li is part of a sequence SSSS → Al3Li → AlLi A description of the phases may be found in reference 1 . This paper is primarily concerned with the Al3Li phase. The addition of Zr to Al-Li is being explored to find the optimum in properties. Zirconium improves fracture toughness and inhibits recrystallization. This study is a comparision between two Al-Li-Zr alloys differing in Zr concentration.Al-2.99Li-0.17Zr(alloy A) and Al-2.99Li-0.67Zr (alloy B) were solutionized for one hour at 500oc followed by a water quench. The specimens were then aged at 150°C for 16 or 40 hours. The foils were punched into 3mm discs. The specimens were electropolished with a 1/3 nitric acid 2/3 methanol solution. The transmission electron microscopy was conducted on the JEM 200CX microscope.

The microstructure, electrical properties and microhardness of as-cast and cold rolled AlYb and AlMnYbZr alloys were investigated. The addition of Mn, Yb and Zr has a positive influence on grain size. A deformed structure of the grains with no changes of their size was observed after cold rolling. The Al3Yb particles coherent with the matrix were observed in the AlYb alloys. The size of the particles was about 20 nm in the initial state; after isochronal treatment up to 540 °C the particles coarsen, and their number density was lower. The deformation has a massive effect on the microhardness behavior until treatment at 390 °C, after which the difference in microhardness changes between as-cast and cold rolled alloys disappeared. Relative resistivity changes show a large decrease in the temperature interval of 330–540 °C which is probably caused by a combination of recovery of dislocations and precipitation of the Al3(Yb,Zr) particles. Precipitation hardening was observed between 100 and 450 °C in the AlYb alloy after ageing at 625 °C/24 h and between 330 and 570 °C in the AlMnYbZr alloy after ageing at 625 °C/24 h.
