Abstract: For 2091 Al-Li alloy, the volume fraction of second phase particles is greatly determined by the homogenization temperature and homogenization time under an electric field and the ductility of the alloy is determined by the fraciton of second phase particles. The combined homogenization treatment shortens the homogenization time, reduces the loss ofLi content and increases the ductity of the alloy.

Key words: homogenization treatment, 2091 Al-Li alloy, electric field, ductility
