摘 要:The Al-Cu-Li-(Mg) alloy is a high-performance lightweight material strengthened by complex coexisting precipitates that form in the alloy upon thermal ageing.Using high-resolution(scanning) transmission electron microscopy in association with first-principles energy calculations,we systematically studied the complex coexisting precipitates in the alloys and correlated their precipitation sequences with thermal ageing processes applied.The principal results are the following:(1) eight types of precipitates can be observed in the alloy;(2) of these precipitates,the T1-phase is most stable.The S-phase precipitates with segregated Li atoms at their interfacial edges are unexpectedly more stable than the σ-phase;(3) the T1-phase has a characteristic precursor that plays the key role in its nucleation and growth.
