Precipitates in Al-Li: The existence of a precursor phase — •Stefan Müller1, Walter Wolf2, and Raimund Podloucky31Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstr. 7, D-91058 Erlangen — 2Materials Design s.a.r.l., 44.av.F.-A.

Although it is generally believed that the δ′ phase of Al3Li is directly formed from the fcc-based α solid solution by quenching and aging the sample, X-ray small angle scattering results report the existence of a precursory structure in the early stage of the decomposition. By combining density functional theory calculations with a mixed-space cluster expansion and Monte-Carlo simulations we will show that the existence of such a precursor phase sensitively depends on the chosen Li-concentration. Our calculations allow to predict the ground-state diagram, short-range ordering, the size-shape-temperature relation of the L12 precipitates, as well as the coherent phase boundaries for both the precursor phase and the δ′ phase.
