The YAl{sub 2p}/MgLiAl composite prepared by stir casting was initially forged and then rolled at 200 °C to different thicknesses. The microstructural evolution in the composite during warm rolling was investigated by using transmission electron microscope (TEM). It is found that increasing rolling reduction is conducive to the uniform distribution and refinement of the YAl{sub 2} particles. The rolling deformation promoted the precipitation of an α phase, and the α precipitate is semi-coherent to the matrix with an orientation relationship to the β matrix as: (0002){sub α}‖(110){sub β}. In addition, many nano-sized YAl particles with a cubic shape were found in the matrix of the composite with a high rolling reduction due to the diffusion of Y from YAl{sub 2} to the matrix, which reacted with the Al in the matrix during warm rolling. - Highlights: • The reinforcement YAl{sub 2} particles were distributed more uniformly in the matrix and refined with increasing rolling reduction. • The rolling deformation promoted and refined the precipitation of an α phase with increasing rolling reduction. • Many nano-sized YAl phases were produced and distributed in the matrix of the composite at a high rolling reduction.
