STABILITY OF THE SOLID-SOLUTION OF SCANDIUM IN ALUMINUM

In recent years scandium has attracted the attention of researchers as an alloying component of aluminum alloys. industrial compositions of scandium-alloyed aluminum alloys have been developed with consideratio n of its various positive effects on the structure and properties of a luminum. The results of an investigation of the kinetics of decomposit ion of a solid solution of scandium in aluminum are analyzed and gener alized. C-curves of the decomposition are presented for aluminum alloy s with different contents of Sc, Si, Fe, Mn, Zn.
