A combinatorial approach for studying the effect of Mg concentration on precipitation in an Al-Cu-Li alloy (1505.06126v1)
Published 22 May 2015 in cond-mat.mtrl-sci
Abstract: We apply a combinatorial approach to study the influence of Mg concentration on the precipitation kinetics in an Al-Cu-Li alloy using a diffusion couple made by linear friction welding. The precipitation kinetics is monitored in the composition gradient material using simultaneous space and time-resolved in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering measurements during ageing, and the strengthening of the precipitates is evaluated by micro-hardness profiles. This data provides an evaluation of the amount of Mg necessary to promote precipitation of the T1-Al2CuLi phase.
