  • Publication number: 20080138239
    Abstract: Aluminum alloys having improved strength at 300° C. characterized by formation from an intermediate amorphous state to a final fcc matrix hardened by optimal 25 nm-diameter Ll2 precipitates with an interphase misfit less than about 4% in all three dimensions and Al23Ni6M4 precipitates where M is one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Y and Yb. An appropriate melt of aluminum with selected transition metals (Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, Ti, Y) and Ll2 stabilizers (Sc, Yb) in amounts of about 2 to 12 and 2 to 15 atomic percent, respectively, is processed to achieve an intermediate amorphous state to dissolve Ll2-forming components. The amorphous alloys are then thermo-mechanically devitrified to a final crystalline microstructure. The alloys have good ductility and a short-term tensile strength exceeding about 275 MPa (40 ksi) at 300° C., and are useful for applications such as high-temperature turbine engine components or aircraft structural components.

  • Publication number: 20040055671
    Abstract: Aluminum alloys having improved strength characteristics at elevated temperatures (300° C.) are manufactured by combining selected transition metals (Ni, Co, Ti, Fe, Y, Sc) and selected rare earth materials (Er, Tm, Tb, Lu) in amounts of about 2 to 12% and 2 to 15% atomic percent respectively in an amorphous, glassy state and subsequently devitrifying the amorphous material to form a crystalline mix of fcc and L12 phase material. Devitrification from the amorphous state may be effected by various means including thermal and thermo mechanical processes.
