Precipitation behavior during aging was investigated by electron microscopy transmission. It is found that small amounts of Er can modify the aging behavior of 1420 alloy, for example, improve the hardness and shift peak aging time. All those results may be attributed to the increase of diffusion coefficient of Li atom in the Al matrix added with Er. As a consequence, rate of nucleation and growth of δ′ (Al_3Li) was promoted; the Al_3Er particles act as preferential sites for the nucleation and growth of δ′, which in turn results in the presentation of more composite particles.展开更多
