Abstract Al alloys often suffer from low mechanical strength and lack high-temperature microstructural and mechanical robustness. A series of binary and ternary nanocrystalline (NC) Al transition metal alloys with supersaturated solid solution and columnar nanograins have been recently developed by using magnetron sputtering, manifesting a new realm of mechanical properties and thermal stability. Distinct solutes cause evident differences in the phase transformations and efficiencies for grain refinement and crystalline-to-amorphous transition. Certain sputtered Al-TM alloys have shown room-temperature mechanical strengths greater than 2 GPa and outstanding thermal stability up to 400 °C. In addition, the NC Al alloys show mechanical anisotropy and tension–compression asymmetry, revealed by micromechanical tests. Through the process encapsulating various compositionally distinct systems, we attempt to illuminate the solute effects on grain refinement and properties and more importantly, tentatively unravel the design criteria for high-strength and yet thermally stable NC Al alloys.
