Problems solved by technology

Due to the severe attenuation of the ultrasonic field in the magnesium alloy melt, the range of action of the ultrasonic field is limited, so that the range of action is limited to a small area near the ultrasonic emitting surface, which is not conducive to the production of large-diameter ingots
At the same time, since the physical parameters of the melt in semi-continuous casting production are not constant, the resonant frequency of the melt will change. The existing fixed-frequency ultrasonic field is difficult to overcome the weakening of the acoustically induced nonlinear effect due to the change of the resonant frequency. The phenomenon
Therefore, the effects of grain refinement and uniform structure brought by the ultrasonic field cannot be fully utilized.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of light alloy machining, and particularly relates to a variable frequency ultrasonic semi-continuous casting method for magnesium alloy. The method comprises the steps of alloy smelting, melt delivery and consolidation forming under ultrasonic treatment. Magnesium alloy melt is treated in a real-time variable frequency ultrasonic field introduced in the semi-continuous casting process, and the quasi real-time tracking of the resonant frequency of metal melt is achieved; and liquid cave melt is subjected to the ultrasonic resonance treatment continuously in the whole semi-continuous casting process, so that the continuous ultrasonic high-efficiency treatment of the magnesium alloy melt is achieved in the solidification process. In the method provided by the invention, an ultrasonic radiation rod is extended into the magnesium alloy melt in the magnesium alloy semi-continuous casting process, so that the cavitation effect and acoustic streaming effect produced by the variable frequency ultrasonic field directly act on the magnesium alloy melt solidifying. With the method provided by the invention, the magnesium alloy solidification behavior can be changed obviously, the structure is refined, and the uniformity of the billet solidification structure as well as the mechanical property of magnesium alloy billets are improved; and the billet casting defects are reduced obviously, and the quality of the magnesium alloy billets is improved greatly.
