The incorporation of calcium and at least one member selected from the group consisting of vanadium and scandium into an aluminum lithium alloy containing: lithium, copper, magnesium, zirconium, beryllium, titanium, nickel, manganese, gallium, zinc, and sodium provides an aluminum lithium alloy that: 1) exhibits improved ductility; 2) exhibits improved processability resulting in the capability to obtain higher yields of semi-finished products; 3) provides the ability to fabricate thin sheets, thin walled sections and forgings, all while preserving the inherent strength and operating characteristics of such alloys when applied to semi-finished products and parts thereof demanded by structural applications in these fields.
