The aging precipitates include δ'(Al3Li) and T1 (Al2CuLi) phases, of which the δ' phases are formed first in grain interiors. A lot of δ'/GPI/δ' composite precipitates in which GPI zones are flanked with a pair of δ' phases, are formed at 145℃ of T6 aging, which are thermally stable. At 160℃ and 175℃ of T6 aging, many T1 phases nucleate first at subgrain boundaries and grain boundaries, and then form and grow within grains. As to the T8 aging, the δ'/GPI/δ' composite precipitates are formed during the first-step aging at 130℃ for 20 h, which are thermally stable during the second-step aging at 160℃. The plastic predeformation accelerates T1 nucleation within grains during the second-step aging at 160℃.展开更多
