Abstract

In recent years Russian specialists have developed industrial weldable aluminum alloys alloyed with a small amount of scandium. Scandium added to existing weldable aluminum alloys improves considerably the set of their operational properties. In addition, the presence of scandium makes it possible to create new materials superior to traditional aluminum alloys. The present paper is devoted to problems of simultaneous alloying of aluminum alloys with scandium and zirconium.
