Abstract

High strength Al-Li alloy is the research focus of aluminum alloy. In the present paper, high strength Al-Li alloy 2A97 composed of Al-Li-Cu-Zn-Mg-Mn-Zr system is studied by thermodynamic and kinetic calculation. The equilibrium phase diagram and the metastable phases of 2A97 were calculated by thermodynamic method. The solidification phase diagram of 2A97 was obtained using the Scheil–Gulliver model. The continuous cooling transformation diagram and isothermal aging curves were calculated using the kinetic method. In addition, the 2A97 microstructures of cast, homogenized, hot-rolled, and solid solution were observed by a scanning electron microscope. The results can be used for the process optimization and microstructure control of 2A97. In particular, the research results of this work can be used for the determination of the homogenization temperature and solid-solution temperature.
