Abstract

The invention provides a Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy refining flux and a production method thereof. The mass percentages of the chemical components of the flux are: 30-50% potassium chloride, 5-20% barium chloride, 2-10% Sodium chloride, 10-20% calcium chloride, 2-8% calcium fluoride, 1-5% cryolite, 3-8% gadolinium compound, 3-8% yttrium compound, 2-8% zirconium compound. The gadolinium compound is gadolinium chloride, gadolinium carbonate or gadolinium fluoride, the yttrium compound is yttrium chloride, yttrium carbonate or yttrium fluoride, and the zirconium compound is zirconium tetrachloride or potassium zirconium fluoride. The flux of the invention has better melting point, viscosity and wettability, and the slag removal performance is greatly improved. Since the flux does not contain magnesium chloride, it does not interact with gadolinium and yttrium rare earth elements in the alloy, and will not cause chemical reaction loss of rare earth elements during the refining process, especially suitable for the refining of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy melts Purification treatment to improve the refining effect of magnesium melt.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy refining flux and a production method thereof, which are used for removing impurity elements and non-metallic inclusions mixed into the alloy during the smelting process of the Mg-Gd-Y-Zr magnesium alloy, And suppress the loss of rare earth elements, belonging to the field of metal materials and metallurgy. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy is the lightest metal structural material in practical application, and has the characteristics of low density, high specific strength and rigidity, good vibration damping, strong electromagnetic shielding ability and easy recycling. Since the 1990s, industrially developed countries have attached great importance to the research and development of magnesium alloys, and magnesium alloys have been widely used in the fields of national defense, aerospace, automobiles and electronic information industries, and have very broad market prospects.
