Abstract: This paper presents the results of in situ investigation of Al-Cu-Li-Ag alloy (V-1469) in initial state and after laser welding. The study was performed via synchrotron X-ray diffraction accompanied by transmission electron microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The behavior of main strengthening phases T1 (Al2CuLi) and Ω (Al2Cu) were in focus. It was found that they act differently in the initial alloy and in the weld material. The T1 phase was more thermally stable in the initial alloy and decomposed at much higher temperature than in the weld material. The Ω phase doesn’t decompose completely in the initial alloy up to ~600 ◦C due to, presumably, its stabilization after the T1 decomposition. In case of the weld material this phase isn’t present initially but forms after heating and consequent cooling.
