Description of the project: "THE AL-LI ALLOYS WERE ELABORATED AND CASTED IN LABORATORY PHASE INTO A BALTZERS CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE FURNACE, AND IN SEMI-INDUSTRIAL PHASE INTO A SEMICONTINUOUS CAST INSTALLATION. THE AL-LI-CU-MG-TI ALLOYS WERE OBTAINED INTO A CONTROLLED-ATMOSPHERE FURNACE. ALL THE ALLOYS BEING IN CASTED, ANNEALED, QUENCED AND COLD AND WARM DEFORMED STATES WERE EXPOSED TO OPTICAL MICROSCOPY, ELECTRONIC MICROSCOPY (TEM, SEM), X-RAY DIFFRACTION AND THE DETERMINATION OF MECHANIC PROPERTIES (HARDNESS, ELONGATION, TOUGHNESS AND CORROSION)."
