Abstract

The invention relates to metal plastic forming technology, in particular to a rare earth-containing magnesium-aluminum-zinc alloy and a corresponding preparation method thereof. The components and mass percentage of the material are: 2.0-6.0% aluminum, 0.3-1.5% zinc, 0.3-0.6% manganese, 0.1-0.5% rare earth, and the rest are magnesium and unavoidable trace impurities. The invention combines the alloying of rare earth elements and the plastic deformation process of equal channel angular extrusion, and has remarkable effects on the refinement of the microstructure of the magnesium alloy and the improvement of the strength and toughness of the material. The room temperature tensile strength of the magnesium alloy obtained by the preparation method is above 260MPa, and the normal temperature elongation is above 45%. The material prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of high strength and high plasticity, not only overcomes the shortcomings of low strength and low elongation of cast magnesium alloys, but also has a large plasticity compared with magnesium alloys prepared by conventional hot extrusion technology. improve. In addition, compared with the conventional hot extrusion process, the extrusion force required for forming by the preparation method is very low, thereby reducing the requirements for forming equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to metal plastic forming technology, in particular to a rare earth-containing magnesium-aluminum-zinc alloy with high strength and high plasticity and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Magnesium has a close-packed hexagonal crystal structure, and its plastic deformation ability is poor. Magnesium alloys are difficult to deform and process, which limits the large-scale industrial production and application of its parts. Equal-channel angular extrusion technology (also known as equal-diameter lateral extrusion technology) is a new technology that obtains large plastic deformation through repeated deformation to obtain ultra-fine-grained or even nano-structured materials. Compared with traditional metal plastic processing technology Compared with the equal-channel angular extrusion technology, the deformation can be realized without changing the macroscopic cross-sectional shape of the material. Due to the s...
