The effect of cerium addition on the precipitation and microstructure of alloys was investigated by optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the cerium addition refines the grains of casting alloys and the average grain size decreases from 93 µm to 30 µm. Trace element cerium addition accelerates the aging hardening process of extruded alloys, increases the maximum hardness of alloys by about 10%, and decreases the precipitation temperature of Ω phase. Moreover, the addition of Ce into Al-Cu-Mg-Mn-Ag alloy decreases the size of Ω phase, and improves the density and thermal stability of Ω phase between 200 and 300 .
