Effect of Zr on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Al–Cu–Yb and Al–Cu–Gd Alloys
The effect of zirconium on the microstructure, phase composition, and mechanical properties of AlCuYb and AlCuGd alloys was studied. The microstructure of the as-cast alloys did not consist of new intermetallic phases of zirconium with other elements, so
