The behavior of growth and coarsening of T-1(Al2CuLi) precipitates was comparatively studied by means of TEM technique in two Al-Li alloys 2090 and 2090+Ce (with cerium content less than 0.1% in mass fraction).

Statistical analysis results show that T-1 precipitates in alloy 2090+Ce have smaller aspect ratio, which is connected with the more intersections between different T-1 variants in this alloy. It is also found that the variation of maximum length of T-1 precipitates with aging time can be obviously divided into two stages of growth and coarsening. The diffusion coefficients of solute atoms of Cu and Li are calculated via growth kinetics curves of T-1 precipitates. The results show that the diffusion of atom Cu plays a more important role in the formation of T-1 precipitates.展开更多

The observation results show that the interaction between dislocation and T 1 plate is a mix type of shearing and Orowan looping, and the physical models are established by theory of precipitates strengthening. The results of calculation illustrate that the contribution of T 1 plate is up 30%～60% to the overall critical resolved shear stress (CRSS). The role of T 1 plate is enhanced with aging time in the material aged 3～48 h at 190℃, but this enhancing effect becomes gentle on overaged condition. The strengthening effects of T 1 plate in 2090 and 2090+Ce alloys are little different on under aged condition, but the strengthening effects of T 1 precipitates in alloy 2090+Ce is little bigger than that of 2090 on overaged condition, especially the cutting mechanism is only considered. The difference between strengthening effects of matrix in two alloys is about 3.2 MPa on underaged condition and 8.7 MPa or so on overaged condition.展开更多
