Abstract
A dispersion-strengthened aluminum alloy having a composite structure containing a matrix of .alpha.-aluminum and a precipitation deposited phase of an intermetallic compound with the intermetallic compound in a volume ratio of not more than 35 vol. %, has both high strength and high toughness. The precipitation phase of the intermetallic compound has an aspect ratio of not more than 3.0, the .alpha.-aluminum has a crystal grain size which is at least twice the grain size of the precipitation phase of the intermetallic compound, and the crystal grain size of the .alpha.-aluminum is not more than 200 nm. It is possible to obtain an aluminum alloy having the aforementioned limited structure by carrying out first and second heat treatments on gas-atomized powder containing at least 10 vol. % of an amorphous phase or a green compact thereof and thereafter carrying out hot plastic working.
