Abstract
Effects of Mn addition on lattice relation and microstructure in monolithic CuAl_2 and Al-50 wt%CuAl_2 alloys were investigated. The AlCuMn compound was produced with increasing the contents of Mn above 2 wt% in both CuAl_2 intermetallic compound and Al-50 wt%CuAl_2 alloys. Not only the lattice parameter of monolithic CuAl_2 intermetallic compound and but also that of matrix and second phase in Al-50 wt%CuAl_2 alloy were also decreased with increasing Mn content. For the analysis of the lattice relation of matrix and precipitated particles in Al-Cu alloys, simple lattice matching model in Al-Cu alloy was established. According to lattice matching model, the degree of lattice mismatch between Al matrix and CuAl_2 second phase were decreased remarkably with addition of 0.5 wt%Mn.
