High-strength high-plasticity Mg-Al base magnesium alloy
Technical field
What the present invention relates to is a kind of alloy of metallic substance technical field, specifically is a kind of high-strength high-plasticity Mg-Al base magnesium alloy.
Background technology
Magnesium alloy is a structural metallic materials the lightest in the industrial application, but the obdurability of magnesium alloy is also lower in the prior art, the intensity of general magnesium alloy has only same process to prepare the 50-70% of aluminium alloy, and the gap between its toughness and plasticity and the aluminium alloy is just bigger, has limited the Application of Magnesium scope.Because magnesium is the close-packed hexagonal metal, slip system is few, and grain refining is more effective than the effect of body-centered and face-centered cubic metal to the effect that improves alloy mechanical property, and therefore, refined crystalline strengthening is one of main method that improves the magnesium alloy obdurability.On the other hand, second in the Mg-Al base magnesium alloy commonly used is mutually for being distributed in the thick Mg of crystal boundary
17Al
12Phase has reduced the plasticity and the intensity of alloy, and therefore, improving the form of second phase and distributing is another important method that improves the magnesium alloy performance.Find by literature search, United States Patent (USP) (United Stated Patent 4,239,535, King, et al., 1980) Fa Ming Mg-Zn-Cu alloy is by adding high-load Cu (5%, weight percent) come crystal grain thinning to improve the intensity and the plasticity of alloy, still, the mechanical property of this alloy will just can obtain by solid-solution and aging heat treatment, and the existence of high-content Cu in the alloy, make that the fusing point of alloy is higher, the founding difficulty, solidity to corrosion is relatively poor, cost is higher, particularly, the crystal grain thinning effect of this alloy Cu must could realize under the prerequisite of alloy-free element al, thereby limit the range of application of alloy.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome deficiency of the prior art, propose a kind of high-strength high-plasticity Mg-Al base magnesium alloy, by adding alloying element Ti, reached refining Mg-Al-based magnesium alloy crystal grain, improve Mg
17Al
12The form of phase and the effect of distribution have improved the intensity and the plasticity of alloy, have enlarged Mg-Al base Application of Magnesium scope.
The present invention is achieved by the following technical solutions, and the component prescription of alloy of the present invention is (weight percent): 3.0-9.0%Al, 0.2-1.0%Zn, 0.01-0.2%Ti, 0.1-0.4%Mn, impurity element Fe<0.005%, Cu<0.015%, Ni<0.002%, all the other are Mg.The present invention as basal component, adds Ti and is on the one hand crystal grain for the refinement alloy to improve the intensity and the plasticity of alloy with Al, is in order to improve Mg on the other hand
17Al
12The form of phase and distribution further improve the intensity and the plasticity of alloy, add Mn and are in order to guarantee the corrosion resistance of alloy, and the adding of Zn can improve the castability of alloy.The crystal grain and the Mg of the alloy that the present invention forms

17Al
12The mean sizes of phase is reduced to 3 μ m from 23 μ m, and tensile strength of alloys is 222MPa, yield strength 156MPa, unit elongation 14%, respectively than Mg-5Al-0.5Zn alloy improved 30MPa, 15MPa, more than 6%; With commercial magnesium alloy phase ratio commonly used, the intensity of new alloy and plasticity are significantly better than the AM50 magnesium alloy under the identical castmethod, and the castability of alloy is better than the AZ91 magnesium alloy, and corrosion resistance nature and cost are suitable with magnesium alloy AZ91.
The founding of the above-mentioned alloy of the present invention; fusion process carries out under gas or insulating covering agent protective condition; after pure magnesium melted fully, add alloy element Zn, Al with industrial-purity zinc, commercial-purity aluminium, Al-Mn master alloy, Al-Ti master alloy form respectively again; Mn; Ti treats that alloying element all after the dissolving, stirs; cast after dragging for surface scum, castmethod can adopt die casting, low-pressure casting, permanent mold casting or sand casting.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has substantive distinguishing features and marked improvement, and this method technology is simple, and cost is low, by adding a spot of Ti element, not only obviously refinement the crystal grain of alloy, and obviously improved Mg
17Al
12The pattern of phase is along the thick Mg of crystal boundary distribution
17Al
12All change tiny granular particle mutually into, the Mg in the matrix
17Al
12The phase showed increased, it is more even to distribute, thereby has improved the intensity and the plasticity of alloy greatly, has solved industrial Mg-Al base magnesium alloy strength commonly used and the relatively poor problem of plasticity.
