The invention discloses a heat-resistant
flame-retardant
magnesium alloy and a thermo-mechanical treatment method thereof. The
magnesium alloy comprises the following elements by
mass: 3-16% of Gd, 4-8% of Er, 0.2-1% of Ca, 0.02-0.2% of Zn and the balance being Mg, wherein the
mass ratio of Ca to Zn is >= 3.
Magnesium alloy ingot billets are prepared by semi-
continuous casting, and subjected to hot rolling or hot
extrusion to form a plate being 5-25 mm in thickness, the plate is subjected to
solid solution treatment, aging is performed at 200-260 DEG C, and water
quenching is performed; and then, true strain is performed between
room temperature and 100 DEG C, then aging is performed at 150-220 DEG C, and water
quenching is performed. The alloy prepared in the invention contains a
honeycomb microstructure consisting of a prismatic-plane precipitated phase, a prismatic-plane
dislocation, a basal-plane precipitated phase and a basal-plane
dislocation; the effect of the synchronous improvement on the heat-resistant and
flame-retardant properties of the
magnesium alloy is significant; simple equipment, low production cost and high efficiency are achieved; and the
magnesium alloy is suitable for use in the industries of aeronautics and
astronautics, railway trains and automobile lightweight.
