Abstract

We have determined the structures and thermal stability of AI(6-x) CuxZr2 (0≤ × ≤ 1) powders prepared by mechanically alloying elemental powder mixtures. In the as mechanically alloyed condition the structure is L12 for all ×. After heating to 750°C the alloy is single phase D023 for 0 < × < 0.2, is a two-phase mixture of D023 and L12 for 0.2 < × < 0.6, and remains in the Ll2 phase for 0.6 < × < 1. Al5CuZr2 is stable in the Ll2 structure up to 1300°C. The lattice parameter of the annealed L12 phase is Independent of ×.
