Abstract

The present invention relates to a high strength and high toughness cast magnesium alloy and its preparation process. The compositions (wt%) are as follows:: Al3-9,Zn 3.5-9.Mn 0.15-1.0, Sb 0-2, Re 0-2. The various raw materials, covering reagent and mould are preheated first. The temperature of crucible is setup beforehand, and the preheated pure Magnesium is charged in the crucible, and then pure aluminum, Al-Mn interalloy, Mg-Re interalloy and pure zinc are also added in turn under the protection of mixed gas of CO2 + SF6, and finally Sb powder wrapped with Al foil is added. After stirring, slag removing, casting and forming, the product alloy ingot is obtained. The tensile strength sigma b reaches 260-280MPa, yielding strength sigma 0.2 >=140MPa, elongation delta 5 >= 6%, impingement work alpha k >= 14 J and Brinel hardness HB >= 70 after treatment of solid solution and aging(T6).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to casting magnesium alloy technology, in particular to a low-cost, high-strength and high-toughness casting magnesium alloy and a preparation method for simultaneously improving the strength and toughness of the casting magnesium alloy through alloying and heat treatment. The invention is not only applicable to metal mold and sand mold casting, but also applicable to pressure casting, squeeze casting and other processes. Background technique [0002] As a new type of metal material, magnesium alloy has been widely used in aerospace, automobile, 3C (computer, communication, consumer electronics) and other fields due to its advantages of low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness. Take the automobile industry as an example: On the one hand, automobile exhaust emissions account for about 65% of global air pollution; on the other hand, problems such as energy shortage and rising oil prices are becoming more and more s...
