Definitions

  • the present invention relates to magnesium alloys, and more particularly to titanium (Ti) particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite materials that can be used in various fields such as household electric appliances, automotive parts, and aircraft members by increasing both strength and ductility, and manufacturing methods thereof.
  • magnesium Due to the lowest specific gravity of magnesium (Mg) among metal materials for industrial use, magnesium is expected to be used for parts and members of two-wheeled vehicles, automobiles, aircrafts, etc. for which reduction in weight is strongly desired.
  • Mg specific gravity
  • the use of magnesium alloys is limited as magnesium is not strong enough as compared to conventional industrial materials such as ferrous materials and aluminum alloys.
  • Composite materials in which particles, fibers, etc. having higher strength and hardness characteristics than those of magnesium are dispersed as a second phase have been developed in order to solve this problem.
  • An effective second phase to be dispersed is titanium (Ti).
  • the rigidity of Mg is 45 GPa, whereas the rigidity of Ti is 105 GPa.
  • the hardness of Mg is 35 to 45 Hv (Vickers hardness), whereas the hardness of Ti is 110 to 120 Hv.
  • dispersing titanium particles in a magnesium matrix can be expected to increase the strength and hardness of magnesium-based composite materials.
  • ceramic particles and ceramic fibers such as oxides, carbides, and nitrides are commonly dispersed. Such particles and fibers have high rigidity and high hardness, but have poor ductility. Thus, dispersing these particles and fibers in magnesium alloys reduces the ductility (e.g., breaking elongation) of the resultant composite materials.
  • titanium is a metal and has high ductility, adding and dispersing titanium particles does not reduce the ductility of the resultant composite materials.
  • magnesium has lower corrosion resistance.
  • titanium particles as a dispersion strengthening material in magnesium matrix.

  • Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose production of a Ti particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite material by the following method. Pure titanium particles are applied to the surface of a pure magnesium plate, and another pure magnesium plate is placed thereon. In this state, the pure magnesium plates are heated and pressed to produce a composite material having the titanium particles interposed between the pure magnesium plates. A plurality of such a composite material are superposed on each other, and are heated and pressed to produce a Ti particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite material having the titanium particles arranged in the direction of the plane of the plates.
  • Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4 disclose production of Ti particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite material by the following method. Magnesium alloy powder is mixed with pure titanium powder, and molds are filled with the mixed powder. In this state, the mixed powder is continuously subjected to a severe plastic working process, and is then subjected to a hot extrusion process to produce a Ti particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite material.

  • the tensile test result of the composite materials shows that the strength is increased by about 5 to 10% but the ductility (breaking elongation) is reduced by about 20 to 30%, as compared to materials containing no Ti particle. Since magnesium and titanium do not form a compound, the strength of the bonding interface therebetween is not sufficient, and thus the strength is not increased sufficiently. On the other hand, a stress concentrates on the interface, whereby the ductility is reduced.
  • adhesion at the Mg-Ti interface needs to be increased in order to significantly increase both the strength and ductility of titanium particle-dispersed magnesium-based composite materials.
  • Non-Patent Document 5 describes a manufacturing method in which molten magnesium or a molten magnesium alloy (AZ91D) containing titanium particles that are present as a solid phase is subjected to a centrifugal force, and a composition gradient is controlled by using the difference in traveling speed which is caused by the difference in centrifugal force due to the difference in density between the dispersed particles and the molten magnesium or the molten magnesium alloy. Since the specific gravity of titanium is at least twice that of magnesium, it is difficult to uniformly disperse titanium particles in the molten magnesium or the molten magnesium alloy by the centrifugal solid-particle method disclosed in Non-Patent Document 5.

  • this document describes that "there is a possibility that the initial melt having a high aluminum concentration may have penetrated the gaps between the titanium particles due to a capillary phenomenon, and may have been involved in aggregation and sintering of the titanium particles.
  • the use of the centrifugal solid-particle method in the AZ91D alloy containing aluminum is problematic in view of the composition of the melt.”
