MECHANICAL PROPERTIES AND MICROSTRUCTURES OF Al-Mg-Li-Zr ALLOYS-CONTAINING SILVER
（Department of Materials Science and Engineering; Central South University of Technolgy; Changsha 410083）
Abstract:The effect of adding Ag on the mechanical properties and microstructures of Al-Mg-Li-Zr alloys was investigated. The results show that small addition of Ag in the alloys can evidently refine the grains of as-cast alloys, accelerate the aging process, promote the precipitation of δ'(Al3Li) and then lead to increase of the strength of the alloys. Mechanisms of refining and strengthening were discussed.
Key words: Al-Li alloys silver microstructures mechanical properties
