High-purity (HP) aluminum and commercial purity (CP) aluminum (major impurities: similar to 250 at. ppm Si and similar to 130 at. ppm Fe) are alloyed with similar to 250 to similar to 1100 at. ppm Sc and similar to 50 at. ppm RE (RE = La, Ce, Pr, or Nd). The alloys are homogenized at 640 degrees C and aged at 300 degrees C. The precipitation kinetics, basic mechanical properties, and microstructure are studied using AC electrical conductivity, microhardness measurements, scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and atom-probe tomography, respectively. The Fe and RE elements form micrometer-scale diameter Al-similar to 3(Fe,RE) primary precipitates, which have no effect on the mechanical properties. Silicon accelerates the precipitation kinetics of nanometer-scale diameter Al3Sc precipitates, increasing their number density, thereby resulting in higher microhardness values for CP aluminum than the HP aluminum having the same Sc concentration. Additionally, the Sc equilibrium solubility in the alpha-Al matrix is estimated and Orowan's strengthening mechanism is confirmed for the Al3Sc precipitates. (c) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
