The invention belongs to the related technical field of
metal fuels, and discloses an aluminum-
lithium alloy powder fuel and a preparation method thereof, the aluminum-
lithium alloy powder fuel is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 2-10% of Li, 0.1-5% of Mg, 0.1-3% of RE and the balance of Al. The added
Mg element can separate out stable, fine and uniformly-distributed
intermetallic compounds besides a micro-explosion effect, the activity of Li in the
alloy can be reduced, the stability of the fuel can be improved, the added RE element can form an Al3 (Li, RE) precipitated phase with a core-shell structure by taking the precipitated
intermetallic compound Al3RE as a heterogeneous
nucleation particle of a metastable phase
delta '(Al3Li), and the stability of the fuel can be improved. Through targeted component design, the structure regulation and control of the precipitated phase in the alloy
powder can be realized, so that the
microstructure of the precipitated phase is improved, and the
combustion performance of the fuel is improved.
