Recent advances in cost-effective aluminum alloys with enhanced mechanical performance for high-temperature applications: A review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
• Recent advances in high-temperature and cost-effective aluminum alloys across various systems are critically evaluated. • Requirements of mechanical properties for cost-effective aluminum alloys differ in three high-temperature scenarios. • Design strategies to improve high-temperature mechanical performance are analyzed. • Precipitation of heat-resistant precipitates remains the predominant approach for improving mechanical properties. • Integrating various stable precipitates and microalloying elements significantly improve alloy performance. Developing aluminum alloys with excellent high-temperature (HT) mechanical performance is imperative for advancing a low-carbon, energy-efficient society. Over the past decade, research on the development of Al alloys for HT applications has significantly intensified. Key mechanical properties such as strength, creep resistance, and fatigue performance are critical for Al alloys operating above 250 °C. This review evaluates recent cost-effective innovations and outlines several design strategies for optimizing these properties, which includes the selection of heat-resistant precipitates, microalloying, and incorporating intermetallic compounds. The effectiveness of these approaches can vary significantly depending on Al systems. Improvements in mechanical performance across diverse systems, specifically Al-Cu, Al-Mn, Al-Mg, Al-Mg-Si, and Al–Si, has been critically reviewed. Precipitation strengthening remains the predominant approach for improving HT mechanical properties. Microalloying is proven to be an effective approach for facilitating the formation of fine and stable precipitates. The evolution of the mechanical properties at the HT of numerous alloys under various approaches, including strength, creep and fatigue properties, has been summarized. Although extensive research has been conducted for optimizing the microstructure and mechanical attributes, there remains considerable potential for further advancements in the HT performance of Al alloys, which can lead to breakthroughs in various industrial applications.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
