Abstract
The tailored nanoparticles with a complex core/shell structure can satisfy a variety of demands,such as lattice misfit,shearability and coarsening resistance.In this research,core-shell nanoscale Al3(Yb,Er,Sc,Zr,Li)composite particles were precipitated in Al-2Li-0.1Yb-0.1Er-0.1Sc-0.1 Zr(wt%)alloy through the double-aging treatment,in which the core was(Yb,Er,Sc,Zr)-rich formed at 300℃ and the shell was Li-rich formed at 150℃.The coarsening kinetics and precipitate size distributions(PSDs) of Al3(Yb,Er,Sc,Zr,Li)particles aged at 150℃ previously aged at 300℃ for 24 h showed a better fit to the relation of <r>2α kt and normal distribution,indicating that the coarsening of precipitates was controlled by interface reaction not diffusion.The Orowan bypass strengthening was operative mechanism at 150℃.
