Quantification of precipitate evolution in cast Al–Li alloys containing Cu and Mg additions using small-angle X-ray scattering by Liqi Song, Hongying Li, Gongshu Zhao, Xinhan Bao, Ziqiao Zheng

“…In this work, the evolution of precipitates which formed under artificial aging in three kinds of cast Al–Li alloys was described by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC). By analyzing SAXS data, the size, axial ratio and volume fraction of precipitates were characterized, and the effects of Cu and Mg on the evolution of δ′ and T1 particles under isothermal aging were quantitatively studied. …”
