The effect of 0·2%Be on the aging behaviour and microstructure of Al–0·2% Ti alloy is investigated. It is shown that the addition of Be induces some age hardening in non age hardenable AI–0·2Ti alloy and significantly increases the precipitate density, indicating a Be enhanced nucleation for the precipitate phase.
