Abstract

The invention discloses an electromagnetic semi-continuous casting method for preparing a high-strength heat-resistant rare-earth magnesium alloy ingot blank. The method is characterized by comprising the following steps: batching, smelting and casting molding, namely by adopting a mold provided with an excitation coil, allowing melt to flow into the mold, and applying a low-frequency electromagnetic field of specified frequency and strength; starting a casting machine and performing throwing casting when the metal liquid level in the mold reaches the liquid level height which is 30-40mm away from the horizontal position on the top of the mold, wherein the casting speed is 50-90mm / min, the casting temperature is 740-750DEG C; and the applied low-frequency electromagnetic frequency ranges from 1 to 90Hz, and the strength is 2000-4000AT. According to the method, the transverse temperature gradient in the process of solidifying the casting blank can be greatly reduced, the liquid pool shape is changed, the solidification uniformity of the casting blank is improved, the size effect of the casting blank casting defects is reduced, the internal metallurgical quality and surface quality of a large vertical semi-continuous casting rare-earth magnesium alloy ingot blank are improved, and a high-quality rare-earth magnesium alloy ingot blank which does not have cracks and is even and smooth in surface, stable in components, obviously low in macrosegregation and fine and uniform in texture can be obtained.
