Solid Solubility of Lithium in Aluminum

Abstract

The lithium solubility limit in solid aluminum was determined by the use of micro-graphic techniques. The solubility limit thus established was shown to be a true equilibrium by checking the reversibility of AlLi phase precipitation and dissolution around the equilibrium temperature. The experimental results fit a straight line by plotting log N(L1) against 1/T. The metallurgical reasons explaining the lack of agreement among previous investigations are discussed.
