The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the alloy was investigated. After single ageing （120℃, 24 h）, the tensile strength was 812.4 MPa and the elongation was 6.2%. After retrogression reaging （RRA）, the tensile strength was 751.2 MPa and the elongation was 6.4%. The strengthening mechanism is considered as fine grain strengthening, substructure strengthening and dispersion strengthening by Al3（Sc, Zr）.展开更多
