A kind of for reclaiming flux and the methods for making and using same thereof of magnesium alloy smear metal
Technical field
The invention belongs to magnesium alloy metallurgical technology field, particularly a kind of for reclaiming flux and the methods for making and using same thereof of magnesium alloy smear metal.
Background technology
Magnesium alloy because low, the specific tenacity of density and the feature such as specific rigidity is high, damping vibration attenuation effect is good, machinability is good expand rapidly in the application in the fields such as Aeronautics and Astronautics, automobile, household electrical appliances and communication, and progressively become popular civil use material.Magnesium alloy can produce a large amount of useless smear metals (magnesium chips) in machining process, and traditional magnesium chips recovery method, is that magnesium chips is directly added to remelting in smelting furnace, in the time of remelting refining, because magnesium chips is active large, a large amount of thin magnesium chips oxidizing fires, produce a large amount of scaling loss and waste residue and obnoxious flavour
Although spread flux while adopting magnesium chips briquetting, remelting, use the measures such as fire-retardant gas shield can improve scrap combustion case, actual Use Limitation fruit is not good, and while causing magnesium chips to reclaim, the rate of recovery is low, lacks security and economy.
Summary of the invention
For above-mentioned deficiency, the invention provides a kind of for reclaiming flux and the methods for making and using same thereof of magnesium alloy smear metal, this flux be used for preventing magnesium chips reclaim time produce burning.The present invention enters stokehold at magnesium chips, by fully mixed to magnesium chips and flux, then add in smelting furnace, heat up with stove, flux melts is attached to the surface of magnesium chips, intercepts the catalytic oxidation of magnesium surface and gas, the fire-retardant gas that flux produces simultaneously, further effectively prevent magnesium chips oxidizing fire, improve the rate of recovery and the production security of magnesium chips.
A kind of for reclaiming the flux of magnesium alloy smear metal, this flux is mainly made up of anhydrous carnallite, magnesium chloride, Repone K, magnesiumcarbonate and calcium carbonate, the shared mass percent of above-mentioned each composition is respectively 10-80%, 0-40%, 5-40%, 0.5-3%, 0-2%, according to the specific requirement of magnesium chips thickness and heating condition, also can add other composition such as sodium-chlor, calcium chloride of massfraction no more than 40%, for adjusting fusing point, viscosity and the surface tension of flux.
Above-mentioned for reclaiming the preparation method of flux of magnesium alloy smear metal, the method is above-mentioned each composition is mixed with powder form in described ratio or grind and fully stir, and several compositions are mixed completely, obtains flux.
Above-mentioned for reclaiming the application method of flux of magnesium alloy smear metal, the method is as follows: before magnesium chips drops into smelting furnace, magnesium chips is mixed with the flux that accounts for its weight no more than 20%, directly joined in smelting furnace and melt, and carry out Melting Magnesium alloy melting subsequently.The ratio that described flux accounts for magnesium chips weight is preferably 0.2-5%.
Beneficial effect of the present invention is: flux of the present invention, after mixing with magnesium chips, is attached to the surface of magnesium chips substantially, melts, and raise with temperature in the process heating with magnesium chips prior to magnesium chips, produces fire-retardant gas.Due to suitable viscosity and the surface tension of flux of fusing, before Heating temperature not yet arrives magnesium chips to start that vigorous oxidation temperature occurs until the fusing of magnesium chips only, fusing flux covers magnesium chips surface all the time, and simultaneously fire-retardant gas is filled the space between magnesium chips, effectively prevents the oxidizing fire of magnesium chips.After magnesium chips fusing, flux floats to the surface of magnesium liquid, plays the effect of conventional flux melting.So greatly improve the rate of recovery of magnesium chips, make the danger of burning and blast greatly reduce simultaneously, reclaim security and be improved.
Use this flux easy to operate, before reclaiming, increase flux and magnesium chips mixed processes, can adopt traditional recovery magnesium chips technique.The contained basal component of this flux is also the moiety of conventional smelting fusing agent, can not affect the Smelting Effect of magnesium alloy.
