In order to study effects of Cu and lie on the microstructure and tensile properties of rapidly solidified Al-Mg alloys, Al-Mg-Cu-Be alloys have been rapidly solidified by inert gas atomization process. Microstructure of rapidly solidified Al-Mg-Cu-Be powders exhibited refinement and good dispersion of Be particles as increasing of solidification rate. Solidification rate of atomized powders was estimated to be about 5 × 10^(3n)C/s. Inert gas atomized Al-Mg-Cu-Be powders were hot-processed by vacuum hot pressing at 450℃ under 100 MPa and hot extruded with reduction ratio in area of 251 at 450℃. The extruded Al-Mg-Cu-Be. powders consisted of recrystallized fine A1 grains and homogeneously dispersed fine Be particles, and exhibited improved tensile properties with increase in Cu content. Al₂CuMg compounds precipitated in grain and grain boundaries of Al-Mg-Cu-Be alloys with aging heat treatment after solution treatment. Hardness and tensile properties were improved by increasing Cu content and Be addition. Compared with extruded Al-Mg-Cu powders, the extruded Al-Mg-Cu-Be powders exhibited finer recrystallized grains and improved tensile properties by dispersion hardening of Be and subgrain boundaries pinned by fine Be particles. After aging treatment, hardness and tensile properties were improved due to restricted precipitation by increasing of dislocation density around Be particles in matrix.
