Effect of Ag additions on the precipitate microstructures of the Al–10Mg alloys has been investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron diffraction.<BR>In the Al–10Mg alloy aged at 240°C, age-hardening response is attributable initially to an array of coarse-scale, sparsely distributed rod-like and/or plate-like β′ precipitate (particles). At the maximum hardness, the microstructure contained an increased volume fraction of coarse-scale β′ and β precipitate particles. In a well over-aged condition, the microstructure exhibited very coarse-scale β precipitate particles. However, in the Al–10Mg–0.5Ag alloy aged at 240°C, fine-scale and uniformly distributed icosahedral quasicrystalline precipitates were observed in the early stages of ageing, and it was to be replaced by the metastable crystalline T phase after the alloy is aged for 2 h at 240°C. The T phase formed as faceted rods parallel to ⟨110⟩α directions appeared to be the primary strengthening constitute exhibiting maximum hardness. The globular β precipitate particles were observed to be replaced by the metastable rod-like T precipitate particles after the alloy was aged 72 h at 240°C, and the β phase is confirmed to be the equilibrium constitute phase in the over-aged ternary Al–10Mg–0.5Ag alloy.
