摘要
The precipitation behavior of the quaternary Q phase in an Al 6111 alloy has been studied by analytical electron microscopy. The transformation strain associated with the Q phase has been determined from high resolution electron microscopy and electron diffraction. The habit plane of the Q laths is shown to be fully coherent with the Al matrix. The transformation strain is used to explain the pattern of heterogeneous precipitation of the Q phase at dislocations and grain boundaries. The crystal structure and composition of the Q phase, whether it forms in the matrix or at grain boundaries, appears similar to that formed directly from the melt in a quaternary Al-Cu-Mg-Si alloy.
