However, the close-packed hexagonal structure of the magnesium alloy makes it difficult to start more slip system coordinated deformation in the plastic deformation process, the slip system is less at room temperature, the strength is low, and the plasticity is poor, so that the plastic processing forming capability at room temperature and low temperature is insufficient, therefore, the plastic forming can be performed at high temperature or medium temperature usually, the production and application cost of the magnesium alloy deformation material is high, and the industrial application is not facilitated.
Research shows that the rare earth element has the effect of weakening magnesium alloy texture and can obviously improve the room temperature plasticity and room temperature forming performance of deformation materials such as magnesium alloy plates, extrusion materials and the like. For example, Chinese patent publication No. CN103667842 discloses a high-plasticity magnesium alloy sheet containing rare earth and a hot rolling process thereof. However, the current rare earth has higher market price, and the alloy cost is still higher even if the content of the rare earth is reduced, so that the large-scale application of the rare earth magnesium alloy deformation material is limited. Therefore, the development of the low-cost and high-plasticity magnesium alloy deformation material without rare earth elements has important significance for expanding the application scale of magnesium alloy deformation materials, such as plates, bars, pipes, sections and wires.

(3) Pouring: and when the temperature of the melt is reduced to 710-720 ℃, pouring the melt into a mold to be cast into an ingot, taking out the ingot from the mold after the ingot is solidified, and putting the ingot into cold water for cooling to obtain a sample.
(4) And (3) heat treatment: the samples were subjected to a homogenization heat treatment at 480 ℃ for 18 h.
(5) Extruding: carrying out hot extrusion on the homogenized sample at 370 ℃, wherein the extrusion speed is 2mm/min, and the extrusion ratio is 30: 1, obtaining the high-plasticity magnesium alloy.
The experimental procedures of the following examples and comparative examples were the same as those of example 1 except that the alloy composition was different, as shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Zn(wt%) | Ca(wt%) | |
Example 1 | 1 | 0.1 |
Example 2 | 2 | 0.5 |
Comparative example 1 | 1 | 0 |
Comparative example 2 | 2 | 0 |
Comparative example 3 | 0 | 0.1 |
Comparative example 4 | 0 | 0.5 |
Comparative example 5 | 3 | 0.5 |
Comparative example 6 | 0.3 | 0.1 |
Second, performance detection
1. The magnesium alloy prepared in example 1 was subjected to scanning electron microscopic structure observation, and the result is shown in fig. 1.
As can be seen from fig. 1, Zn and Ca elements exist in the matrix in the form of solid solution, and no micron-sized second phase is substantially formed.
2. The magnesium alloy prepared in example 1 was subjected to transmission electron microscopic structure observation, and the result is shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from FIG. 2, Zn and Ca elements exist in the matrix in a solid solution form, and are co-segregated at grain boundaries, which facilitates the coordinated deformation of the grain boundaries.
3. The magnesium alloy sheet prepared in example 1 was tested for tensile stress at room temperature in the ED (extrusion outflow direction), 45 ℃ and TD (longitudinal direction of extrusion) directions, and the results are shown in FIG. 3.
As can be seen from figure 3, the alloy shows better plasticity when being stretched along ED, 45 degrees and TD three directions, the average elongation after fracture reaches 43 percent, and meanwhile, the yield strength is kept about 150MPa, and the alloy has better comprehensive mechanical properties.
4. The magnesium alloys obtained in examples 1 to 2 and comparative examples 1 to 6 were subjected to mechanical property tests, and the results of the tests on yield strength (YS, MPa), tensile strength (UTS, MPa) and elongation (EL,%) are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
YS | UTS | EL | |
Example 1 | 149.9 | 235 | 43.4 |
Example 2 | 145.5 | 241.6 | 38.8 |
Comparative example 1 | 112.2 | 209.9 | 19.1 |
Comparative example 2 | 109.4 | 217.9 | 29.5 |
Comparative example 3 | 106.8 | 207.3 | 21.6 |
Comparative example 4 | 166 | 254.8 | 23.1 |
Comparative example 5 | 156.3 | 255.2 | 30.2 |
Comparative example 6 | 95.4 | 105.6 | 32.1 |
As can be seen from Table 2, the elongation of the alloy of the present invention is greatly improved without affecting the yield strength and tensile strength as compared with the comparative example. This is because Zn and Ca exist in the form of solid solution at this time, no second phase is formed, plasticity deterioration caused by stress concentration in the vicinity of the second phase in the plastic deformation process is reduced, and a solid solution strengthening effect is exerted; on the other hand, the method promotes the co-segregation of Zn and Ca elements in the grain boundary, and is beneficial to the coordinated deformation of the grain boundary so as to improve the plasticity. While too high Zn and Ca elements will form more second phases, which are not good for deformation, while too low Zn and Ca elements will weaken the effect of solid solution strengthening and can not maintain better strength. Therefore, the alloy has higher plasticity, can ensure higher strength and is beneficial to further large deformation and cold working.
The above description is only exemplary of the present invention and should not be taken as limiting, and any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
