L12 ordering and δ′ precipitation in Al-Cu-Li

Abstract The precipitation mechanism of the δ′ (Al3Li) phase in Al-Li alloys has been controversially discussed in recent decades, specifically with respect to a conjectured congruent ordering process. However, kinetics in the Al-Li system does not allow to resolve the intermediate stages of precipi...
