Definitions

  • Table 1 shows tensile properties of commercial cast alloys and wrought alloys.
  • Table 1 Properties of Commercial Magnesium Alloys Alloys Composition (%) Tensile Properties Al Mn Th Zn Zr Others Yield Strength (MPa) Tensile Strength (Mpa) Elongation (%) Cast AZ91C- 8.7 0.13 - 0.7 - - 145 275 6 EQ21A- - - - - 0. 1.5 Ag, 195 235 2 HK31A- - - 3. - 0. - 105 220 8 WE54A- - - - - 0.
  • US-A-3 404 048 discloses only a pure ternary cast Mg-Zn-Mn alloy having a different weight ratios having improved strength and tensile strength (the claims, the tables in the specification). However, there is no teaching or suggestion to add Al as a forth component to the alloy.
  • the present invention provides a method for preparing the high strength magnesium alloy, in which an addition of Mn to a magnesium melt is achieved by adding a Zn-Mn mother alloy to the magnesium melt.
  • Si is hardly soluble in an Mg matrix
  • Si forms an Mg 2 Si phase, when it is added to the Mg matrix as an alloying element.
  • Such a compound may provide a dispersion strengthening effect when its morphology and/or size is modified in the preparation and heat treatment procedures of the wrought body.
  • the inventors experimentally found that a desired dispersion strengthening effect, as mentioned above, is obtained when Si is added to an Mg-Zn-Al-Mn-based quaternary alloy.
  • the content of Si is less than 0.1 wt.%, the intended effect of the Si addition can hardly be expected.
  • the content of Si is limited to a range of 0.1 ⁇ 4.0 wt.%, preferably a range of 1.5 ⁇ 3.0 wt.%, in accordance with the present invention.
  • the principal impurities of the Mg alloy should be appropriately limited because they mainly have fatally adverse affects on the corrosion resistance of the alloy, rather than on the mechanical properties of the alloy.
  • Impurities generally known include Fe, Ni, and Cu. Although Cu has adverse effects on corrosion resistance in Mg-Al-based alloys widely used, it has no significant effect in the Mg-Zn-based alloy according to the present invention.
  • Fe and Ni are regarded as impurities to be limited in their contents. Typically, these impurities are conservatively limited to a maximum content of 0.005 wt.%. Adverse effects resulting from Fe may be eliminated by an addition of Mn.
  • P. zone solvus temperature of the ⁇ 1 ' phase, and the primary aging time is determined to be a period of time enough to expect an improvement in hardness to a desired level.
  • the second aging temperature is limited to a range of 150 to 180°C. At a second aging temperature of less than 150°C, there is a problem associated with the execution of the aging process because a lot of time is required until a maximum hardness is obtained. At a second aging temperature exceeding 180°C, the maximum hardness obtained cannot reach a desired level even though it is rapidly obtained.
  • the wrought body is subjected, prior to the double aging process, to a solution heat treatment for 6 to 12 hours at a temperature of 340 to 410°C corresponding to a temperature range, in which precipitation phases possibly generated during the working process can be present in the form of solid solutions, in order to maximize the effect of the precipitation phase contributing to an improvement in strength.
  • the temperature range and period of the solution heat treatment are determined, based on the phase diagram of the Mg-Zn binary system, taking into consideration of conditions capable of allowing precipitation phases resulting from the major alloying element, that is, Zn, to be sufficiently dissolved, and a desired thermal stability of the alloy.
  • each alloy cast product prepared as above was subjected to a homogenization process at a temperature of 340 to 410°C for 12 hours.
  • the alloy cast product was then formed into a billet, which was, in turn, preheated at a temperature of 320 to 360°C for 30 minutes.
  • the billet was then extruded by an extrusion machine, in which the temperature of the billet container and die was set to a temperature of 320 to 360°C.
  • an extruded alloy product was prepared.
