The invention relates to the field of
metal material
magnesium alloys, in particular to a rapid age hardening multi-element microalloy weak texture
magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The
alloy comprises the following components of 0.5 wt.%-2.0 wt.% of Zn, 0.1 wt.%-1.0 wt.% of Ca, 0 wt.%-1 wt.% of Sn, 0.05 wt.%-1 wt.% of
manganese, and the balance commercial pure Mg and inevitable impurities, wherein the content of the impurities is less than 0.02%. The preparation method of the
alloy comprises the steps of
smelting, hot
extrusion, multi-pass controlled rolling, recrystallization treatment, low-temperature aging and the like, wherein the low-temperature aging comprises low-temperature aging after pre-deformation stretching and low-temperature aging after cold rolling. The
magnesium alloy subjected to recrystallization treatment is subjected to pre-deformation stretching and low-temperature aging treatment, the
average size of alloy grains is 2-7 micrometers, in addition, the obtained
magnesium alloy has a good age
hardening effect, and it can be seen from an EBSD diagram that the alloy shows weak texture characteristics distributed in the TD direction, and the
electrode density is 4.0; and in addition, the
magnesium alloy has good mechanical properties, the yield strength of the alloy is larger than or equal to 300 MPa, and the
ductility is larger than or equal to 15%.
