Preparation of high-strength deforming magnesium alloy
Technical field
That the present invention relates to is a kind of wrought magnesium alloys preparation technology, specifically is a kind of preparation of high-strength deforming magnesium alloy.Belong to class of metal materials, metallurgical class and plastic working class field.
Background technology
Along with the fast development of China's aerospace, car industry, the lightweight of the vehicles such as spacecraft and automobile just becomes eternal pursuit.Magnesium alloy has high specific tenacity, specific rigidity, than elastic feel quantity, become the focus that material supplier author pays close attention to day by day.At present, the development scale of magnesium alloy aspect practical application has only 1/50 of Aluminum, and 1/160 of Iron And Steel Industry, its major cause are that 90% magnesium alloy component obtains from the die casting mode, has limited the kind and the type of product; Most of magnesium alloy structural parts are confined to the not high small volume part of requirement of strength.And magnesium alloy thermal distortion (as extruding, rolling etc.) back alloy organizing obtains refinement, and casting flaw is eliminated, and has higher intensity than cast magnesium alloys, ductility, more diversified mechanical property.Conventional Mg-Al base magnesium alloy such as AM50A, AZ31 and AZ91D etc. have good castability, cheap cost, but its room-temperature mechanical property is obviously not enough, serious restriction its further application.
According to famous Hall-Page (Hall-Petch) formula, grain refining can obviously improve the intensity of magnesium alloy.For Mg-Al base magnesium alloy, can add β (Mg thick in the alloying element refined cast structure
17Al
12) phase, obtain tinyly, the grain-boundary strengthening phase of disperse also can be by viscous deformation refined cast structure.Find by literature search, people such as Yu Xiang are at " metal forming technology ", 2004, the employing MB15 alloy of introducing in " distortion is to the influence of MB15 magnesium alloy and structure property " literary composition of delivering 22:41-45), utilizing extrusion ratio is 24 and 65 to push, and the result thinks, by crimp, remarkable refinement magnesium alloy crystal grain obviously improves the comprehensive mechanical performance such as intensity, unit elongation of magnesium alloy.Grain size is reduced to 6~12 μ m that push attitude by 100~200 μ m of as cast condition, and tensile strength is brought up to 270~330MPa, and yield strength is brought up to 220~268MPa, and unit elongation is between 8.5%~19%.But because this extrusion process adopts a large extrusion ratio extrusion molding, squeeze is big, and unhomogeneity of deformation and stress distribution unevenness increase, and work hardening is serious, thereby has limited the range of application of this technology.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome existing wrought magnesium alloys preparation technology's deficiency, propose a kind of trace Ti preparation of high-strength deforming magnesium alloy that adds, by adding thick Mg in the trace Ti refinement matrix
17Al
12Phase, simultaneously by plastic deformation process, make alloy the crystal grain fragmentation, organize more refinement, composition is more even, inside is finer and close, makes it further improve the intensity of alloy.This technology be refined crystalline strengthening and deformation strengthening in the preparation method of the high-strength deforming magnesium alloy of one, enlarged Mg-Al base Application of Magnesium scope.
