Problems solved by technology

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the existing magnesium-lithium alloy refining flux, and propose a magnesium-lithium alloy refining flux that does not react with lithium elements and has adsorption during use and a preparation method thereof; during use, The adsorbent in the refining agent is heated and decomposed to continuously release tiny inert gas bubbles. During the process of floating up, the bubbles will absorb non-metallic inclusions and make them agglomerate into large particles, greatly improving the removal rate of various inclusions, and the refining effect is stable. , and easy to separate from the alloy liquid to facilitate slag removal

Abstract

The invention provides a refining flux for a magnesium-lithium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The flux is prepared from, by mass, 20-50% of potassium chloride (KCl), 15-40% of potassium fluoride (KF), 20-40% of potassium bromide (KBr), 5-15% of lithium chloride (LiCl), 5-10% of lithium fluoride (LiF) and 1-3% of a carbonate foaming agent. The carbonate foaming agent comprises one or more of lithium carbonate and potassium carbonate. According to the flux, the proportion of all the components is optimized, the flux has the good melting point, viscosity and wettability, meanwhile, in the using process, the foaming agent is heated to generate inert gases, the part of the impurities can be brought out to the surface of melt in the bubble floating process, so that the dosage of the flux is reduced, the flux is not prone to being mixed into alloy liquid, separation from the melt is facilitated, and the ingot casting quality is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refining flux for magnesium-lithium alloy and its preparation method, especially a magnesium-lithium alloy refining flux with good spreadability and fluidity and the effect of promoting inclusion agglomeration, which is used for purifying magnesium-lithium alloy melt The invention is inert to magnesium-lithium alloy and belongs to the field of metal materials and metallurgy. Background technique [0002] The demand for ultra-light and high-strength structural materials in modern industry is becoming more and more obvious. Due to the significant advantages of magnesium-lithium alloys, scientists have paid close attention to them. As the lightest metal structural material so far, the application density of magnesium-lithium alloys in the industry is only equivalent to 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the density of magnesium alloys. Magnesium-lithium alloy also has a series of advantages such as high elastic modulus, high compressive yield stren...
