Scandium in Commercial Wrought Aluminum Alloys
The Al 3 Sc phase has a L1 2 crystal structure with a lattice parameter close in size to the Al FCC crystal structure. The close match in lattice parameters can explain the exceptional ability of the Al 3 Sc phase to heterogeneously nucleate the α(Al) grains. The extreme grain refinement obtained in the 0.25Sc + 0.25Zr alloy (Fig. 15.3b) can be …
