Abstract
The precipitation behavior in an Al –Cu alloy isothermally annealed at 463 K was studied using Vickers microhardness tests, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). An additional endothermic peak found in the DSC measurements may be attributed to the θ″-phase, independent of the dissolution of the G. P. (II) and the θ″-phase at the aging temperatures. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) revealed that the G. P. (I) is formed at a very early stage of isothermal aging, even at 463 K. Comparing the Vickers microhardness and TEM images, it was concluded that the stage at which the G. P. (II) and θ″-phases precipitated simultaneously is mainly responsible for the peak hardness.
