During plastic deformation, mg after refinement 2 The phase boundary between the Si phase and the matrix can provide more dynamic recrystallization nucleation sites, promote dynamic recrystallization in a particle excitation nucleation and mode, and pin the movement of a recrystallization grain boundary to inhibit the growth of recrystallization grains. In addition, trace Ca element can form nano precipitated phase in the matrix, and can effectively pin grain boundary movement. The above structural factors present in the alloy can significantly inhibit the growth of recrystallized grains, thereby achieving a fine recrystallized grain structure even when formed under high strain rate conditions (e.g., high-speed extrusion). On the other hand, when the alloy is subjected to external force, second phase particles and nano precipitated phases are dispersed in the matrix, so that dislocation movement can be blocked, and the mechanical properties of the alloy are synergistically improved together with fine grain strengthening effect. The alloying element in the alloy is mainly in the form of fine second phase particles, so that the heat conduction performance of the magnesium matrix is not excessively weakened while the active effects of re-refining and re-crystallizing grains and improving the mechanical performance of the alloy are exerted, and the alloy also has good heat conduction performance. In addition, as at least one of trace Si element, ca element and proper amount of additive elements (Mn, zn and Al) in the alloy are dissolved in the matrix in a solid manner, the discharge activity of the alloy is improved under the synergistic effect, so that the alloy has high discharge voltage when being used as an anode material of a magnesium air battery. Therefore, the alloy of the invention has excellent plastic processing performance, good mechanical property, high heat conductivity and high discharge performance.

2) The extruded material prepared by the invention has fine grains and excellent mechanical properties. Even the alloy obtained under the high-speed deformation condition has the grain size of most below 40 mu m, and can lead the alloy to have good mechanical property, the tensile strength of 310-470 MPa and the elongation of more than 11 percent by combining the strengthening effect of the micro-nano double-scale second phase in the alloy and the solid solution strengthening effect of solid solution atoms. The alloy has the yield strength of 270MPa or more and the elongation of 10% or more under the high-speed extrusion condition of 50m/min, and shows excellent plastic processing performance and toughness performance.
3) The alloy has excellent heat conducting performance, and the heat conductivity of the alloy can reach more than 100W/m.K.

5) The magnesium alloy blank has simple preparation process, and introduces tiny Mg into magnesium 2 The method of Si phase element adopts Mg-Si intermediate alloy mode to introduce Si element, and then trace Ca element, mn, zn, al and other additive elements are modified and the smelting and casting temperature is regulated so as to ensure that Mg 2 Si phase is obviously refined, and the defect that fine dispersion distribution Mg is difficult to introduce into magnesium alloy is overcome 2 The technical problem of Si phase is that the existing smelting and extrusion equipment can be prepared without additional improvement, and the requirement on equipment is low.
6) The alloy disclosed by the invention can obtain good mechanical properties without heat treatment after deformation processing, so that the production process is simplified, the energy consumption and the production cost are reduced, and the processing efficiency is improved.
7) The alloy of the invention has low price of raw materials and low material cost, and is convenient for mass application in civil fields such as automobiles, high-speed rails, airplanes and the like.
