The invention discloses a
corrosion-resistant high-performance wrought
magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the steps of
alloy smelting,
solid solution and hot
extrusion. Firstly, a ZK60
magnesium alloy containing a
rare earth element
ytterbium (Yb) with the
mass percent of 1.8% to 2.1% is smelted according to ingredients, then
solid solution treatmentis carried out on the ZK60
magnesium alloy for 450 DEG C*24 h in protection gas, and hot
extrusion is carried out at the temperature of 250 DEG C to 320 DEG C with the
strain rate of 0.005 s<-1> to 0.01 s<-1> and the
extrusion ratio of 32-40. The tensile strength of the finally obtained ZK60 alloy is 400-450 MPa, the
ductility ranges from 10% to 20%, and compared with a commercialized ZK60 alloy,the
corrosion current density can be reduced by 1-2 magnitudes orders. According to the
corrosion-resistant high-performance wrought
magnesium alloy and the preparation method thereof, a wrought
magnesium alloy material prepared through a conventional process is utilized, high strength and high
plasticity are achieved, excellent corrosion resistance is achieved, and the corrosion-resistant high-performance wrought
magnesium alloy can be adopted as a ideal alternative to
aerospace, weapon, 3C and biomedical materials.
