Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0134403A1] 1. A powder-metallurgical process for the production of an alloying addition, consisting of a pure beta-phase Al-Li compound, containing between 44 to 55 atom-%, or 17 or 25 weight-%, with the corresponding content of aluminium between 56 to 45 atom-% or 83 to 75 weight-%, using the following steps : a) Weighing and mixing of the elementary lithium and aluminium in powder form in a weight ratio of 1:5 to 1:3 under a protective atmosphere (argon or helium) ; b) charging the powder mixture into a heatable extruding die, degassing the mixture by applying a vacuum at temperature below the melting point of lithium ; c) extruding the mixture ; d) performing the reacting sintering of the extrudate in vacuum or under a protective atmosphere, characterized in that by heating the extrudate in the extrusion die without pressure at a heating rate of 5 to 50 degrees C/min to a temperature from approx. 450 degrees C to closely below the peritectic temperature of 520 degrees C at the maximum.
