Abstract

The effect of solution temperature on the solid solubility, microstructure and mechanical properties of 2A66 Al-Cu-Li alloy was studied by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and tensile test. The results show that with the solution temperature increasing from 480°C to 520°C,the amount of residual phases decreased and the solid solubility increased obviously, while the recrystallization hardly changed with the increasing of solution temperature. With the solution temperature increased to above 530°C, the amount of residual phases almost did not change. With the solution temperature increasing to above 540°C, the alloy was over-burnt obviously. Complete dissolution of the particles in the 2A66 Al-Cu-Li alloy was obtained after solution treatment at 520°C.
