Al alloys have widespread applications, but often suffer from low yield strength. Recently, nanotwinned Al-Fe solid solution alloys have shown high flow stress (>1.5 GPa), ascribed to nanograins with abundant incoherent twin boundaries and solute-stabilized 9R phase. However, the high temperature mechanical behaviors of high-strength twinned Al-Fe alloys remain unknown. In this study, we show that nanotwinned microstructures are stable up to 280 °C, followed by recrystallization at 300 °C. In-situ uniaxial compression tests in a scanning electron microscope show that the nanotwinned Al alloys retain their high flow stress of ~1.3 GPa when tested up to 200 °C, and substantial softening occurs at a test temperature of 300 °C. This work reveals the superb thermal stability and high temperature mechanical behaviors of the nanotwinned Al-Fe alloys, and offers a new perspective to design future strong and thermally stable nanostructured Al alloys.
