The invention relates to high-damping and high-strength Mg-Cu-Mn-Zn-
Y alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. The high-damping and high-strength Mg-Cu-Mn-Zn-
Y alloy is characterized by comprising the following alloying element components distributed in the
alloy and the content value thereof in percent by weight: 1.0%-4.0% of Cu, 0.3%-1.5% of Mn, 0.3%-4.0% of Y, 1.0%-5.5% of Zn and the balance of
magnesium. In order to solve the conflict of the damping property and the
mechanical property of the
magnesium alloy, the invention puts forward the fact that a
Zn element and a Y element are added in the high-damping Mg-Cu-
Mn alloy so that the Mg, the Zn and the Y form quasicrystals and / or long-prepared phases in the
alloy, the quasicrystals or the long-prepared phases can introduce a great amount of new movable dislocations in a
magnesium matrix, the damping property of the
magnesium alloy is improved through movable dislocations newly increased in the magnesium matrix, and then the conventional heat
extrusion is carried out on the alloy so that the
mechanical property of the alloy is improved. The invention has the advantages of simple process, strong transportability, easy operation and lower cost and solves the problem that the Mg alloy has limited application due to high damping property and low
mechanical property, and the used equipment is conventional and general equipment.
