This invention relates to a series of castable aluminum alloys with excellent creep and aging resistance, high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures. The cast article comprises 0.4 to 2% by weight iron, 0 to 4% by weight nickel, 0.1 to 0.6 or about 0.1 to 0.8% by weight zirconium, optional 0.1 to 0.6% by weight vanadium, optional 0.1 to 2% by weight titanium, at least one inoculant such as 0.07-0.15% by weight tin, or 0.07-0.15% by weight indium, or 0.07-0.15% by weight antimony, or 0.02-0.2% by weight silicon, and aluminum as the remainder. The aluminum alloys contain a simultaneous dispersion of Al6Fe, Al3X (X=Fe, Ni) and/or Al9FeNi intermetallic in the eutectic regions and a dispersion of nano-precipitates of Al3ZrxVyTi1_x_y (0≤x≤1, 0≤y≤1 and 0≤x+y≤1) having Ll2 crystal structure in the aluminum matrix in between the eutectic regions.

Abstract

Aluminum-zirconium and aluminum-zirconium-lanthanide superalloys are described that can be used in high temperature, high stress and a variety of other applications. The lanthanide is preferably holmium, erbium, thulium or ytterbium, most preferably erbium. Also, methods of making the aforementioned alloys are disclosed. The superalloys, which have commercially-suitable hardness at temperatures above about 220°C, include nanoscale A13Zr precipitates and optionally nanoscale A13Er precipitates and nanoscale A13(Zr,Er) precipitates that create a high-strength alloy capable of withstanding intense heat conditions. These nanoscale precipitates have a L12-structure in a-A1(f.c.c) matrix, an average diameter of less than about 20 nanometers ("nm"), preferably less than about 10 nm, and more preferably about 4-6 nm and a high number density, which for example, is larger than about 1021 m-3, of the nanoscale precipitates. The formation of the high number density of nanoscale precipitates is thought to be due to the addition of inoculant, such as a Group 3A, 4A, and 5A metal or metalloid. Additionally, methods for increasing the diffusivity of Zr in A1 are disclosed.
