Abstract: We studied the evolution of the phase composition of laser welded joints before and after heat treatment of 3rd generation Al–Li alloys using synchrotron radiation. The article demonstrates the fundamental role of the alloying elements of copper and lithium in formation of the phase composition of the fusion zone of the weld. It has been established that laser exposure changes the phase composition of the alloy. Namely, low copper contents mainly lead to formation of T2(Al6CuLi3) and T3(Al5CuLi3) phases, the average copper contents form T1(Al2CuLi), T2(Al6CuLi3), T3(Al5CuLi3) phases and the presence of high copper contents results in formation of T1(Al2CuLi) phase at the boundaries of dendrite. Post-heat treatment restores the initial phase composition in the fusion zone. As for the solid solution, the δ'(Al3Li) phase is formed at low copper contents, the δ'(Al3Li) and T1(Al2CuLi) phases are formed at average copper contents, and T1(Al2CuLi) phase is observed at high copper contents. Consequently, this makes it possible to improve the mechanical properties of weld joint specimens to match the numbers of the initial alloy.
