Many aluminum age-hardenable alloys have a good combination of strength and formability and exhibit an attractive enhanced strength/weight ratio. The enhancement of the mechanical properties has largely been attributed to the formation of different precipitates such as: T1 (Al2CuLi), θ′ (Al2Cu), δ′ (Al3Li) and β′ (Al3Zr).The object of this work is to investigate the dependency of the precipitation kinetics on the performed heat treatment conditions. Aluminum- Lithium - copper alloy AA2195 was selected as a model system in the present study. Common industrial heat treatments such as: T8 temper, T4 temper and T6 temper have been examined. Results are obtained by utilizing transmission electron microscopy (TEM), micro-hardness Vickers measurement, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atom probe tomography (APT). In this contribution a detailed analysis of the correlation between the microstructure developments owing to the respective treatment condition and the hardening process will be presented.
