Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to an alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to an Er-containing magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of metal materials.
Background
The magnesium alloy is used as the lightest engineering metal material at present, has a series of unique advantages of high specific strength and specific rigidity, good damping vibration attenuation, strong electromagnetic shielding and heat conducting performance, easy cutting and processing, easy recovery and the like, and has wide application background in modern industries such as aerospace, automobiles, computers, communication, consumer electronics and the like. However, magnesium alloys often have severe limitations in their wide application in production and life due to low strength, poor plasticity, and the like. Therefore, improving the plasticity and strength of magnesium alloys is an important direction in the development of magnesium alloy materials.
In general, an increase in strength of an alloy is accompanied by a decrease in plasticity, and thus it is difficult to obtain a cast magnesium alloy having both high strength and high plasticity. This is due to the presence of second phase particles which exacerbate dislocation stacking and improve alloy strength, but also promote crack initiation and reduce alloy plasticity. The industrial application of the alloy is greatly limited. The development of high-plasticity and high-strength cast magnesium alloy becomes the key point of magnesium alloy research work.

and (3) carrying out aging treatment after deformation: the temperature is 150-300 ℃, and the aging time is 0.1-200 h;
the method comprises the following steps: smelting, homogenizing, deforming and aging.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
the rare earth element Er is added on the basis of the Mg-Y-Zn alloy, so that the room-temperature mechanical property of the alloy is obviously improved, and the reasons are mainly the following: firstly, the content of a long-period ordered structure phase and the distribution of the long-period ordered structure phase in the magnesium alloy can be adjusted by adding Er atoms, and the precipitated phase can prevent basal plane dislocation slippage and improve the strength of the alloy; secondly, the LPSO phase and the magnesium matrix phase are in a coherent relationship, which can hinder crack initiation and improve the plasticity of the alloy; thirdly, Er has a similar atomic radius with magnesium, and the addition of Er in the Mg matrix can achieve a good solid solution strengthening effect; in addition, the addition of Er can also effectively adjust W phase and distribution thereof in the alloy, and the second phases have the effect of hindering dislocation glide, so that the addition of Er can effectively regulate and control the mechanical property of the alloy. Finally, the Er element is added and the mechanical property of the Mg-rare earth-Zn alloy can be further improved through corresponding heat treatment, so that the alloy with high strength and high plasticity can be obtained at the same time.
