In situ age hardening phenomenon observed in as-sprayed Al-Sc binary alloys is reported. This, along with substantial grain refinement in the as-sprayed alloys exhibited hardness in the range of 605 MPa (Al-0.3 wt% Sc) to 923 MPa (Al-0.8 wt% Sc) that are comparable to the optimum hardness values typically obtained by age hardening in similar as-cast alloys. Transmission electron microscopy of the spray deposits revealed densely spaced Al3Sc precipitates of about 10 nm suggesting in-situ age hardening of these alloys during spray forming. This behavior is attributed to the inherent heating cycle associated with the spray forming process and the rapid kinetics of Al3Sc precipitation.
