摘要
An in situ ultrahigh-strength ductile Al50Sc50 bulk alloy is produced by the copper mold casting method with a composite microstructure of micron-/submicron-sized grains and nanoscale twins. According to the microstruc- rural investigations, hierarchical nanotwinned lamellar AISc bundles with embedded micron-/submicron-sized AI2Sc and AISc2 are observed. The as-cast alloy displays a unique act of ultrahigh strength of -1.85 GPa to- gether with pronounced work hardening and a large plasticity of -14%. Further microstructural investigations on deformed specimens indicate that abundant hierarchical nanotwinned lamellar AISc bundles are effective to dissipate localization of shear stress or block dislocations from spreading throughout the alloy and hinder the propagation of mierocracks formed by local stress transition.
