Abstract

Aiming at the disadvantage of poor toughness of die-casting Mg-Al alloy, the invention provides a heat treatment method for improving the toughness of vacuum die-casting Mg-7Al-1Ca-0.5Sn alloy. Through primary heat treatment and secondary heat treatment performed on the vacuum die-casting Mg-7Al-1Ca-0.5Sn alloy, alloy components can be more uniform, the tissue and shape are obviously improved, the quantity of precipitated phases is increased, the precipitated phases are diffused on a base body, obvious growing of crystalline grains does not exist, and the mechanical property of the alloy is obviously improved. After the vacuum die-casting Mg-7Al-1Ca-0.5Sn alloy is subjected to the primary heat treatment and secondary heat treatment, the room temperature tensile strength is 288.9 to 306.8MPa, the yield strength is 148.5 to 178.2MPa, and the elongation percentage is 12.5 to 13.8 percent. The performance index of the alloy is obviously better than that of commercial AZ91 alloy and AM60 alloy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metal materials, in particular to a heat treatment method for improving the strength and toughness of die-casting magnesium alloys. Background technique [0002] In recent years, environmental and energy issues have become the focus, and magnesium alloy, as the lightest metal structure material, has become a research hotspot. Among them, the Mg-Al alloy is currently the most widely used die-casting magnesium alloy, but its limited strength and toughness limit its application scope to a certain extent. Rare earth elements can effectively improve the strength and toughness of alloys, but the cost is too high to be suitable for commercial production. Therefore, the choice of alloying elements needs to balance cost and performance. In addition, the performance of most magnesium alloys is greatly affected by the second phase. On the basis of ensuring the density of the die casting, the morphology, distribution and quan...
