Abstract

The precipitation of T1 phase during the ageing of an Al- Li- Cu -Zr alloy sheet was studied by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetric) technique. Results showed that precipitation of T1 phase occurred in temperature range of 250ºC to 300ºC whereas its dissolution occurred within the temperature of 450ºC to 530ºC. Furthermore, activation energies for precipitation and dissolution of T1 phase were determined 122.1 kJ/mol and 130.3 kJ/mol, respectively.
