Abstract
Scandium alloying of aluminum alloys can substantially improve their operating properties and weld-ability. Commercially scandium-alloyed alloys have been developed for the Al - Mg, Al - Zn - Mg, and Al - Mg - Li systems. The scandium alloying of aluminum alloys containing copper as an alloying component should be performed carefully, because scandium can produce a chemical compound with copper. This worsens the strength properties of preforms and decreases their plasticity and fracture toughness due to the increased volume fraction of the excess phases. In this work, conditions for scandium alloying are determined for the copper-containing alloys D16 and 1933.
