Background technology
At present, along with environment and power saving receive much concern in worldwide, the weight that alleviates component becomes very necessary.The carbonic acid gas that generates in highway, aviation and the transportation by railroad can cause problem of environmental pollution, and is at present strong day by day to the needs that address this problem, simultaneously, also strong day by day so that save the needs of transport fuel for making lighter component or the finished product.Under this situation, magnesium alloy most possibly is used to make lighter product, because its density in commercial alloys is minimum, promptly its density is low to moderate 2/3 and 1/5 of aluminium alloy and iron alloy density respectively.In addition, magnesium alloy also has excellent specific tenacity, rigidity, absorption of vibrations, workability, dimensional stability and electromagnetic wave shielding effect, therefore is widely used as the cover material such as electronics/communication products such as mobile communication equipment and portable computers.
The magnesium alloy that is used for thermal structure is divided into two classes usually: do not heat-treat promptly the cast magnesium alloys that uses with by being deposited on the sand mold casting magnesium alloy that matrix improves high-temperature behavior mutually with second.
In cast magnesium alloys, because when the die orifice by metal die entered die cavity, melt metal can produce eddy current usually, so its product contains a large amount of pores.In thermal treatment, comprise that in the solution heat treatment process afterwards, these residual pores can cause producing bubble on the product surface, thereby described product is not heat-treated usually.Therefore, be widely used as a kind of Mg-Al alloy of cast magnesium alloys at present, i.e. the high-temperature behavior of AZ91 alloy, particularly creep resistance is very poor.Therefore, the AZ91 alloy is difficult to be applied in such as automobile gearbox etc. and is exposed in the component under the high temperature (more than or equal to 150 ℃).This is because when adding aluminium in magnesium, though intensity under the room temperature and molten metal flow are improved, can form the Mg that makes the high-temperature creep resistance deterioration
17Al
12Phase.In order to overcome this defective, can be as United States Patent (USP) 6,264,763 disclosed add rare earth element or add calcium (Ca), silicon (Si), strontium (Sr) etc. like that.Yet up to the present, still there is restriction in these ways to applicability aspect productivity, the mechanical property that comprises high-temperature creep resistance and erosion resistance and the cost.
In the sand mold casting magnesium alloy, be deposited on mutually in the matrix second by thermal treatment, improve hot strength and thermotolerance thus.Therefore can obtain fine and close relatively foundry goods.For this purpose, the solvability of the element of adding in magnesium matrix should be with variation of temperature significantly changes, and keeps its solvability commonly used under more than or equal to 200 ℃ temperature.As the main adding elements of sand mold casting magnesium alloy, can use silver (Ag), thorium (Th), yttrium (Y), neodymium (Nd), scandium (Sc) etc., they are all very expensive, perhaps contain radioactive substance.Therefore, these elements all strictly are applied in always the needs that improve performance are better than occasion to the consideration of cost.
Simultaneously, there is technical problem usually in the moulding of magnesium alloy.Mainly be that magnesium alloy has HCP structure, there is restriction in this to the required sliding system of plastic working.Based on this reason, at room temperature be difficult to form product.Therefore, need form product by hot-work.
In this way, for intermediates and the finished product of developing magnesium alloy, be starved of and improve formability.The crystalline texture that effective means is refinement (refine) magnesium alloy is to improve extensibility.In addition, the magnesium alloy of described fine grained structure should be mainly by commercial run production.Demand for magnesium alloy plate increases day by day.But, use current commercially available magnesium alloy, still can't effectively produce magnesium alloy plate with required fine grained structure.
In the situation of existing AZ31 alloy, for crystal grain thinning, thickness reduces and will aggravate in the operation of rolling.In the case, therefore reducing because of serious crackle is restricted of thickness limited the refinement of crystal grain.In other words, this solid solution alloy is subjected to the restriction that the source of recrystallization can take place in inside, and therefore the refinement for crystal grain has certain limitation.
