Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of metal structure materials, and particularly relates to a die-casting magnesium alloy material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the increasingly prominent problems of global energy shortage, environmental pollution and the like, automobile energy conservation and emission reduction become inevitable choices for dealing with major challenges of resources and environment in the world. The world automobile association reports that the oil consumption of the self weight of the automobile accounts for 70 percent of the total oil consumption of the automobile, the fuel oil consumption can be reduced by 6 to 8 percent and the emission can be reduced by 5 to 6 percent when the weight of the automobile is reduced by 10 percent, so that the light weight of the automobile body becomes an important development trend of the current automobile body materials. Magnesium and its alloy are the lightest metal structure materials that can be used in industry at present, have the advantages of small density (about 2/3 for aluminum and 1/4 for steel), high specific strength and specific stiffness, good damping, machinability and casting performance, and have been widely used in the fields of automobiles, communication electronics, aerospace, and the like. But the absolute strength and plasticity are low, so that the magnesium and the magnesium alloy are mainly used as non-bearing or bearing members, and further popularization and application of the magnesium and the magnesium alloy are restricted.
AE44(Mg-4Al-4RE, wt.%) magnesium alloy is commercial magnesium alloy so far, and has excellent room temperature mechanical property (die-casting state, tensile strength sigma)b>240MPa, elongation>10.0%), and has good high-temperature creep resistance. Chinese patent CN101440450A discloses a heat-resistant die-casting magnesium alloy containing lanthanum AE series, which contains Al with the component content (wt.%) of 3.5% -4.5%,1 to 6 percent of La, 0.2 to 0.6 percent of Mn, less than 0.03 percent of impurity element total amount and the balance of magnesium. Chinese patent CN101158002B discloses an AE heat-resistant die-casting magnesium alloy containing cerium and lanthanum, which contains (wt.%) 3-5% of Al, 0.4-2.6% of Ce, 0.4-2.6% of La, 0.2-0.6% of Mn, and the balance of magnesium. These patents are addressed by increasing Al11RE3The high-temperature performance of the alloy is improved through the heat stability, but the room-temperature performance of the alloy can hardly meet the application requirement of the high-strength and high-toughness magnesium alloy. Al in traditional AE series magnesium alloy structure11RE3The phase is needle-shaped, the needle-shaped tip is easy to generate stress concentration and crack in the service process, and the mechanical property of the material is deteriorated, while the alloy in the patent takes the AE series alloy high temperature property as the starting point, but (1) for Al11RE3The morphology of the needle-shaped phase is not improved; (2) no introduction of a novel room temperature strengthening phase; (3) casting alone, lacking subsequent heat treatment. Thus how to modify Al11RE3The key problems of improving the room-temperature toughness of the AE series magnesium alloy are that a needle phase, a novel strengthening phase are introduced and the alloy can be promoted to be thermally treated. We have found that: samarium, gadolinium, yttrium and other rare earth elements (1) and aluminum element form fine high-melting-point Al at the early stage of solidification2The RE phase as a heterogeneous nucleation core can obviously refine the matrix and introduce a fine novel strengthening phase; (2) solute distribution coefficient k in magnesium<1, enrichment on a solid-liquid interface in the solidification process hinders growth of a matrix and a second phase, and the matrix can be further obviously refined and the morphology of the second phase can be granulated; (3) the magnesium has high solid solubility and solid solution strengthening effect; (4) the solid solubility is reduced along with the temperature change, and the aging strengthening effect is achieved. At present, the rare earth elements with the characteristics are added to carry out the structural modification and modification on the AE magnesium alloy and introduce a novel strengthening phase to improve the toughness of the alloy, which is not reported at home and abroad.

Further increasing the content of the rare earth can generate fine granular high melting point Al with the Al element preferentially2The RE intermetallic compound can be used as heterogeneous nucleation core refined grains and is dispersed in the matrix, so that the crack initiation position and the expansion path in the alloy fracture process are changed, and the plasticity of the alloy is further improved. In addition, the addition of rare earth elements such as Gd, Y, Sm and the like can promote the aging strengthening effect of the AE series magnesium alloy, and further improve the strength of the alloy.
