Addition of Sc to Al-Cu is reported to be responsible for a high precipitation hardening upon heat treatment and serves as a good grain refiner. However, Scandium is presently very expensive, therefore, getting maximum benefit from a minimum addition would be economically of value. This work...

This work addresses the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al-4.5 wt% Cu alloys containing 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 wt% Sc that were solidified under low cooling rate conditions (< 1ºC/s) and then heat treated. The samples were solidified in a differential scanning calorimeter before being heat...

This paper reports on the characterization of rapidly solidified Al-4.5 wt% Cu-xSc (x= 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 wt %). The effect of micro-additions of Sc (up to 0.4 wt %) was examined through microstructural analysis of rapidly solidified, as well as aged samples, by means of electron microscopy, x-ray...
