Abstract

The invention provides a method for removing impurity iron in a magnesium alloy by using an Al-Zr master alloy. The Al-Zr master alloy is added during the smelting process of the magnesium alloy, and the melt is filtered by a ceramic filter when the melt is poured. The content of Zr element in the Al-Zr master alloy is 3-20wt%, the content of a single impurity element is ≤0.5%, the sum of impurity elements is ≤1.0%, and the balance is Al. The effective component for removing iron in the Al-Zr master alloy of the present invention is thick acicular and skeletal Al 3 Zr phase. These Al 3 In the magnesium alloy melt, the Zr phase adheres to the surface layer to form a compound containing Zr and Fe along with the dissolution of the surface layer Zr and Al elements. These compounds together with Al 3 The size of the Zr phase is coarse, and it is easy to block it through the filter screen, so it does not need to be left to stand for precipitation to achieve iron removal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of smelting and purifying magnesium alloys and improving the corrosion resistance of magnesium alloy products, in particular to a method for removing impurity iron in magnesium alloys by using an Al-Zr master alloy. Background technique [0002] Fe impurities in magnesium alloys will seriously affect the corrosion resistance of the alloys, so the content of Fe impurities in magnesium alloys is strictly limited. In particular, Fe impurities must be effectively removed in the recovery and reuse of recycled materials and leftover materials in the production of magnesium alloys and magnesium alloy products. [0003] The existing method of removing Fe from magnesium alloy smelting is a precipitation method, that is, adding a certain element and combining with Fe in the magnesium alloy melt to form a stable compound with a density higher than that of magnesium, which is allowed to sink to the melting point after s...
