The mechanical properties of the extruded specimens with and without La were compared. The results show that La addition has an obvious effect on the microstructure of the as-cast LA141 alloy by reducing the average grain size from 600 to 220 μm. β-Li and LiMgAl2 phases are observed in both alloys, and long-rod-shaped Al2 La phase is also observed in the La containing alloy. After extrusion, Al2 La phases are short-rod-shaped and distribute evenly in the alloy. LAl41-0.3 La alloy has higher elongation（34%）, which is attributed to refined microstructure and weak texture due to shortrod-like Al2 La phase.展开更多
