T1 (Al2CuLi) nano-phase precipitation has been a major focus in developing new multi-microalloyed Al–Cu–Li alloys. Nevertheless, more understanding is required. This work investigated the effect of Zn alloying on the microstructure and mechanical properties of multi-element Al–Cu–Li alloys with a high Cu/Li ratio using a combination of advanced electron microscopy and first-principles calculations. Zn alloying (i) induced a higher density of geometrically-necessary dislocations after solid-solution treatment, which increased the T1 nucleation rate during the early aging stage; (ii) promoted T1 growth by substituting Al or Cu atoms in the T1 structure; and (iii) profoundly increased the aging kinetics, the age hardening response, and the strength. In addition, the co-segregation of Zn, Mg and Cu at the T1/Al interface helped to stabilize the fine T1 nano-platelets. These structural insights into T1 precipitation and age hardening by Zn alloying can help to guide the optimal design of high-performance Zn micro-alloyed multi-element Al–Cu–Li alloys. |
