Using the methods of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffractometry, and transmission and scanning electron microscopy, the phase transformations and structure stability of a zirconium-doped ultrafine-grained alloy of the Al–Mg–Li system are investigated under heating conditions. It is found out that an increase in temperature results in the formation of two types of S-phase precipitates differing in their crystal lattice structure. An important role of the S-phase in ensuring high thermal stability of the ultrafine-grained structure formed by the methods of severe plastic deformation is shown.
