Problems solved by technology

However, due to the presence of impurity element Fe, the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys is reduced
(3) Adding solute elements method: adding solute atoms (Zr, Ce, La, Sr, Ca) etc. into the melt; Zr element is a very good magnesium alloy refiner, but its application range is narrow and cannot be applied In Al-containing magnesium alloys, the reason is that Zr is easy to form a stable compound A13Zr with the Al element in the alloy, and the A13Zr crystal is the body center Square type, the lattice constant is quite different from that of magnesium, and the effect of effective grain refinement cannot be achieved
[0004] Among the open patents about grain refinement for Mg-Al series magnesium alloys, the Chinese patent with publication number CN1583327A ("grain refinement for magnesium or magnesium alloys Chemical agent and its preparation and use method") involves the technology of using carbon powder (graphite powder) alone as a carbon source and refining magnesium alloys; its technical feature is that after baking aluminum powder and carbon powder at 80-100°C It is an improved carbon powder addition technology; the main problem is that the problem of carbon segregation cannot be overcome in principle, and the refining effect is limited.
[0005] The Chinese patent with publication number CN1410566A ("a refiner for magnesium alloys and its preparation method") relates to the generation of A1 by using carbon powder (graphite powder) alone4C3The technology of crystal nucleus refining magnesium alloy; its technical feature is to mix aluminum powder, graphite powder and magnesium powder evenly, dry and briquette in vacuum or Under the protection of inert gas, heating to 700-1000 ℃ and keeping it warm for more than 25 minutes to prepare a magnesium alloy refiner containing A14C3 crystal nuclei; shortcomings It is the effect of a single refiner, compared with compound refinement, the refinement effect is limited
The main problem is that carbon is easy to segregate, and the particles of Al-Ca or Al-Sr compounds generated are coarse, which is easy to damage the effect of composite refinement

Abstract

The invention discloses an aluminium calcium carbon grain refiner for Mg-Al series magnesium alloy and a preparation method and application thereof. The grain refiner provided by the invention comprises aluminium, calcium, carbon and magnesium; and by adding the aluminium calcium carbon grain refiner to magnesium alloy melt, fine heterogeneous phase particles, i.e. Al4C3, supply a large number of effective heterogeneous nucleation cores, Ca solute released by dissolved CaA12 (or CaAl4) particles restrains the growth of magnesium alloy grains, and the casting-state magnesium alloy grains are obviously refined and increased in terms of strength and plasticity under the composite refining effect. The grain refiner provided by using the method is a metal block and is convenient to add in the magnesium alloy melt; the addition amount and the component content of the grain refiner are easily controlled; and the purpose of high efficiency refinement can be achieved by adding a trace of grain refiner.
