Abstract

The microstructure and mechanical properties of novel Al-Y-Sc alloys with high thermal stability and electrical conductivity were investigated. Eutectic Al₃Y-phase particles of size 100-200 nm were detected in the as-cast microstructure of the alloys. Al₃Y-phase particles provided a higher hardness to as cast alloys than homogenized alloys in the temperature range of 370-440 °C. L1₂ precipitates of the Al₃(Sc_xY_y) phase were nucleated homogenously within the aluminium matrix and heterogeneously on the dislocations during annealing at 400 °C. The average size of the L1₂ precipitates was 11±2 nm after annealing for 1 h, and 25-30 nm after annealing for 5 h, which led to a decrease in the hardness of the Al-0.2Y-0.2Sc alloy to 15 HV. The recrystallization temperature exceeded 350 °C and 450 °C for the Al-0.2Y-0.05Sc and Al-0.2Y-0.2Sc alloys, respectively. The investigated alloys demonstrated good thermal stability of the hardness and tensile properties after annealing the rolled alloys at 200 and 300 °C, due to fixing of the dislocations and grain boundaries by L1₂ precipitates and eutectic Al₃Y-phase particles. The good combination of strength, plasticity, and electrical conductivity of the investigated Al-0.2Y-0.2Sc alloys make it a promising candidate for electrical conductors. The alloys exhibited a yield stress of 177-183 MPa, ultimate tensile stress of 199-202 MPa, elongation of 15.2-15.8%, and electrical conductivity of 60.8%-61.5% IACS.
