Potential Function-Based Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Al-Cu-Li Alloys and Comparison with Experiments
Due to their excellent specific strength and lightweight characteristics, Al-Cu-Li alloys are widely used in aerospace applications. The newly developed three-stage creep aging (CA) process ensures both the formability and high performance of the Al alloy. However, research at the atomic scale investigating the relationship between the microstructure and performance of ternary alloys under intricate heat treatment conditions remains scarce. This study investigates the microstructural evolution of Al-Cu-Li alloys during multi-stage low-high-low temperature CA experiments, combined with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations based on the neuroevolutionary machine learning potential (NEP) function. The simulation results indicate that the segregation state of lithium atoms at low temperatures is unstable and cannot persist at elevated temperatures. As the aging temperature in the second stage increases, the segregation of lithium atoms gradually diminishes. However, the low-temperature aging in the third stage facilitates continued atomic segregation, although the recovery is somewhat limited. Additionally, it was observed that high-temperature aging in the second stage reduces the material’s performance, while the low-temperature aging in the third stage contributes to the recovery of its properties. The experimental results indicate that the degree of precipitation phase enrichment decreases with the increase in temperature during the second stage but slightly increases with the low-temperature aging in the third stage. The excellent agreement between the experimental and simulation results validates the reliability of the MD simulations, providing a valuable reference for the performance enhancement and microstructural optimization of Al-Cu-Li alloys.
