  • Hafnium has a high solubility in the Al 3 X dispersoids allowing large amounts of hafnium to substitute for erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium in the above mentioned Al 3 X dispersoids, which results in stronger and more thermally stable dispersoids.
  • Niobium forms metastable Al 3 Nb dispersoids in the aluminum matrix that have an L1 2 structure in the metastable condition and a D0 22 structure in the equilibrium condition.
  • Niobium has a lower solubility in the Al 3 X dispersoids than hafnium or yttrium, allowing relatively lower amounts of niobium than hafnium or yttrium to substitute for X in the Al 3 X dispersoids. Nonetheless, niobium can be very effective in slowing down the coarsening kinetics of the Al 3 X dispersoids because the Al 3 Nb dispersoids are thermally stable. The substitution of niobium for X in the above mentioned Al 3 X dispersoids results in stronger and more thermally stable dispersoids.
  • Al 3 X L1 2 precipitates improve elevated temperature mechanical properties in aluminum alloys for two reasons.
  • the precipitates are ordered intermetallic compounds. As a result, when the particles are sheared by glide dislocations during deformation, the dislocations separate into two partial dislocations separated by an anti-phase boundary on the glide plane. The energy to create the anti-phase boundary is the origin of the strengthening.
  • the cubic L1 2 crystal structure and lattice parameter of the precipitates are closely matched to the aluminum solid solution matrix. This results in a lattice coherency at the precipitate/matrix boundary that resists coarsening. The lack of an interphase boundary results in a low driving force for particle growth and resulting elevated temperature stability. Alloying elements in solid solution in the dispersed strengthening particles and in the aluminum matrix that tend to decrease the lattice mismatch between the matrix and particles will tend to increase the strengthening and elevated temperature stability of the alloy.
