“…Thus, in clarifying the mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics of Al-Sc alloy, it is necessary to investigate the deformation behaviour over a full range of strain rate and temperature conditions. The literature contains many investigations into the beneficial effects of adding Sc to Al alloys, including its age hardening effects [6][7][8] grain refinement properties [9,10], superplasticity effects [11][12][13][14], and weldability characteristics [15,16]. However, the high strain rate deformation behaviour of Al-Sc alloy over a full range of operating temperatures has attracted relatively little attention.…”
