Al-Li (Aluminum-Lithium)
A.J. McAlister
The equilibrium phases of the Al-Li system are (1) the liquid, L; (2) fcc (Al),
with a maximum solubility of Li of approximately 14 at.% at the 600 с 5 C
eutectic; (3) the bcc (bLi) solid solution above -193 C, for which the
maximum solubility of Al has not been determined; (4) the cph (aLi) phase
below -193 C (only pure Li has been investigated in this temperature range); (
5) the broad intermediate b phase, of NaTl-type structure, which melts
congruently at 700 с 15 C and has a maximum solubility range of about 45 to
55 at.% Li; (6) the narrow phase Al2Li3, stable up to 520 C, of rhombohedral
structure, and reported by [79Wen] to have a solubility range of 1.4 at.% Li
at 423 C; and (7) the line compound Al4Li9, stable up to 335 C, of
monoclinic structure and reported by [76Myl] to transform to a different, as
yet unclassified, structure at 275 C.
Only a few features of the Al-Li diagram are well established: the L = (Al) +
b eutectic temperature, 600 с 5 C; the b + L = Al2Li3 peritectic temperature,
520 с 5 C; the L = Al4Li9 + (bLi) eutectic temperature, 175 с 5 C; the (Al)
solvus between 400 and 600 C; and the (Al) + b/b boundary from 400 to 500 C.
Other features of the diagram are probably qualitatively correct, but
particularly in regard to the liquidus and (Al)/(Al) + L boundary,
quantitatively unreliable. The occurrence of the metastable Al3Li phase in the
equilibrium (Al) + b field is of considerable significance to the
determination of the equilibrium (Al) solvus. The assessed phase diagram is
based on review of the literature [35Gru, 37Sha, 62Cos, 63Lev, 68Han, 73Teb,
76Myl, 79Wen, 80Wen] and on thermodynamic modeling.
No attempts to determine the solubility of Al in bcc (bLi) have been reported.
The present thermodynamic calculations suggest negligible solubility.
Occurrence of an ordered AuCu3-type (L12 superlattice crystal) coherent
precipitate in the (Al) + b field has been reported [59Sil]. The observed
coherent (Al) + Al3Li metastable field, determined by kinetic competition
between metastable Al3Li and equilibrium b formation in supersaturated (Al)
alloys, has also been studied.
Editor's note: Recently, [89Che] examined the solid + liquid phase equilibria
between (Al) and b, using differential thermal analysis (DTA), metallography,
and thermal analysis. The (Al)-b eutectic temperature and composition were
determined to be 600 с 1 C and 25.8 с 0.5 at.% Li, respectively, in good
agreement with the assessed values. The calculated diagram of [89Che] also is
in essential agreement with experimental data.
