Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a method of manufacturing a magnesium alloy material.

TECHNICAL BACKGRAOUND

Recently, as the LED industry evolved, the development of high power LED lighting of the tens or even hundreds of watts-class is becoming more active.
As a result, the size and the weight of the heat sinking component for dissipating heat generated by the LED become large, and it is important to solve such a problem.
Since the weight of the heat sinking component is about 80% of the total weight of the LED lighting, the light efficiency of the heat sinking component may be effectively increased by reducing the weight of the heat sinking component.
Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the weight of heat sinking component.
Magnesium has been the subject of lightweight metals in this regard. The density of magnesium is 1.74 g/cm³, and magnesium is classified as the lightest metal among the structural metals including aluminum and steel.
In addition, the thermal conductivity of pure magnesium is 155 W/mK, which is considerably excellent considering the specific gravity. However, the thermal conductivity of the commonly used magnesium alloy is 80 W/mK, which is lower than that of pure magnesium.
This may be due to the alloy component and the manufacturing process added to improve the mechanical strength.
Thermal conductivity is interrupted due to the degree of solubility of the added alloy component, intermetallic compounds, or dislocations such as, internal substances or defects.
Korean Patent Registration No. 1516378 discloses a method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy sheet having a high thermal conductivity.
However, the above patent discloses a magnesium alloy having an excellent thermal conductivity, but, since the magnesium alloy thin sheet is disclosed, additional molding is required for use as a heat sink.
In addition, since the thermal conductivity of the magnesium alloy thin sheet is about 120 W/mK, which is insufficient compared to pure magnesium (155 W/mK), there is still a shortcoming to replace the existing materials in the heat sink market. The Japanese patent application JP 2001 355033 concerns the use of a Mg-based alloy containing additions of Mn and Ca in the manufacture of a sacrificial anode.
Thus, in an embodiment of the present invention, the microstructure of the magnesium alloy material may be controlled by removing unnecessary alloying elements and controlling the manufacturing process differently from the prior art.
This makes it possible to provide a magnesium alloy material having a higher thermal conductivity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The advantages and features of the present invention and the manner of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with the accompanying drawings.
However, it is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but may be embodied in many different forms, and these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the scope of the invention to a person skilled in the art, and the present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims.
Same reference numerals refer to same elements throughout the specification.
Thus, in some embodiments, well-known techniques are not specifically described to avoid an ambiguous interpretation of the present invention.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by a person skilled in the art.
Further, through the specification, unless explicitly described to the contrary, the word "comprise" and variations such as "comprises" or "comprising" will be understood to imply the inclusion of stated elements but not the exclusion of any other elements.
Also, singular forms comprise plural forms unless noted otherwise.
The magnesium alloy material comprises 0.8 to 1.8 wt% of Mn, 0.2 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%) of Ca and the balance of Mg and inevitable impurities, for a total of 100 wt%.
At this time, the magnesium alloy material may have a recrystallized structure of 99 vol% or more for 100 vol% of the total microstructure of the magnesium alloy material.
More specifically, the microstructure of the magnesium alloy material may be a complete recrystallized structure in which there is almost no deformed structure and no secondary phase.
More specifically the magnesium alloy material may obtain a magnesium alloy material of the complete recrystallized structure as described above by a method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy material described below.
An average diameter of the grains of the magnesium alloy material may be 10 µm to 20 µm.
The average diameter of the grains of the magnesium alloy material may be controlled as described above by the step of subjecting to heat treatment in the method for manufacturing the magnesium alloy material described below.
When the average diameter of the grains of the magnesium alloy material is in the above range, the thermal conductivity may be improved somewhat.
In this specification, the diameter of a grain refers to the diameter of a grain present in a measurement unit.
In case of non-spherical, the diameter of a grain means the diameter of the sphere calculated by approximating the non-spherical material to a spherical shape.
In the following, the reasons for limiting the components and the composition range of the alloy in the present invention will be described.
Manganese (Mn) is comprised in an amount of 0.8 to 1.8 wt%.
More specifically, when the manganese is less than 0.8 wt%, the strength of the magnesium alloy material may be lowered too much.
On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.8 wt%, a large amount of secondary phase may be generated, so that the thermal conductivity may be decreased.
Calcium (Ca) is comprised in an amount of 0.2 wt% or less (excluding 0%).
More specifically, when calcium is added in a small amount, it acts to increase the ignition temperature of the alloy itself and suppress ignition.
It also serves to prevent surface cracking during the hot extrusion process.
However, when it is comprised in an amount exceeding 0.2 wt%, a secondary phase such as Mg₂Ca may be formed.
Further, in terms of the thermal conductivity, it is advantageous that the addition amount of the alloying elements is minimized.
Therefore, when the maximum addition amount is in the above range, a magnesium alloy material having excellent thermal conductivity may be produced without forming a secondary phase.
Accordingly, the thermal conductivity of the magnesium alloy material may be 135 W/mK or more.
More specifically, it may be 135 W/mK to 145 W/mK.
The method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy material which is an embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of continuously casting a molten alloy to prepare a billet; subjecting the billet to homogenizing heat treatment; preheating the homogenizing heat-treated billet; hot extruding the preheated billet to manufacture an extruded material; and subjecting the manufactured extruded material to heat treatment.
First, a step of continuously casting a molten alloy to prepare a billet is carried out.
In the step of continuously casting a molten alloy to prepare a billet, the molten alloy comprises 0.8 to 1.8 wt% of Mn, 0.2 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%) of Ca and the balance of Mg and inevitable impurities, for a total of 100 wt%.
The reasons for limiting the components and the composition of the molten alloy are the same as the reason for limiting the components and the composition of the magnesium alloy material, and therefore will be omitted.
More specifically, the step of continuously casting a molten alloy to prepare a billet may be a continuous casting at a temperature in the range of 650 °C to 750 °C.
The rate of the continuous casting may be 50 mm/min to 150 mm/min.
In addition, continuous casting may be performed by using a billet cutting apparatus that is interlocked with a casting rate, and defects inside and outside the billet may be minimized by using an electromagnetic field method (EMC/EMS).
Thereafter, the step of subjecting the billet to homogenizing heat treatment is carried out.
More specifically, the billet may be subjected to a homogenizing heat treatment at a temperature in the range of 400 °C to 500 °C.
More specifically, the billet may be subjected to a homogenizing heat treatment for 10 hours to 16 hours.
When the billet is subjected to a homogenizing heat treatment at too low a temperature or for too short a time, homogenization treatment of the heterogeneous microstructure that occurs during casting may not be performed properly.
As a result, during the subsequent extrusion process, the extrusion pressure may be increased.
On the other hand, when the billet is subjected to homogenizing heat treatment at too high a temperature or for too long a time, localized melting may occur in some concentrated layers and segregation rod. This may cause defects in the billet.
Thereafter, the step of preheating the homogenizing heat-treated billet is carried out. The homogenizing heat-treated billet may be preheated in indirect heating type heating furnace.
More specifically, when the homogenizing heat-treated billet is preheated in a direct heating type heating furnace, the surface may be locally overheated by a direct flame.
As a result, the surface may be melted and there is a risk of fire. Therefore, the billet may be preheated in the indirect heating type heating furnace.
More specifically, the indirect heating type heating furnace may be, for example, an induction heater type using a high frequency or low frequency induced current.
However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is possible to use them all without a direct flame, such as a torch.
More specifically, the homogenizing heat-treated billet may be preheated to a temperature in the range of 350°C to 550°C.
Even more specifically, when the homogenizing heat-treated billet is preheated to less than 350 °C, the stress to plastic deform the billet in the step of hot extruding described below increases and the extruder is subjected to a heavy load due to the high extrusion pressure.
Due to this, the extrusion rate may not be fast so that the productivity is decreased.
More specifically, when the homogenizing heat-treated billet is preheated to more than 550 °C, the extrusion rate at the time of extrusion in the step of hot extruding described below is rapidly controlled, so that the surface of the billet, due to the heat generated by friction with the extrusion die and plastic deformation, may exceed the solidus temperature of the material.
As a result, it may be locally melted on the surface of the billet and defects may occur.
In addition, abnormal coarse grains may appear due to overheating, which may cause surface defects.
By preheating the homogenizing heat-treated billet for the above time, it is possible to easily extrude it without surface defects and without giving a large load to the extruder in the step of hot extruding described below.
Thereafter, the step of hot extruding the preheated billet to manufacture an extruded material is carried out.
More specifically, it is possible to quickly hot extrude before the heat of the billet, which is preheated by the above-mentioned step of preheating the homogenizing heat-treated billet, cools.
More specifically, the preheated billet may be hot extruded by a direct extrusion method.
More specifically, it may be hot extruded using a direct extruder. This is as disclosed in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a direct extruder used in a method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy material according to an embodiment of the present invention.
More specifically, the billet 11 loaded in the container 31 may be manufactured to the extruded material 12 through the die 21 by applying pressure to the ram 41 of the direct extruder.
Therefore, the extruded material 12 may be manufactured by using a direct extrusion method which proceeds in the same direction as the advancing direction of the ram 41.
At this time, in order to minimize thermal deformation, the die 21 which is designed to be able to control the temperature by season or the extrusion situation may be used.
In addition, it may include a multi-stage mold, a support stand, and the like. The preheated billet may be hot extruded at a temperature in the range of 350 °C to 550 °C. More specifically, the preheated billet is hot extruded at the above-mentioned temperature range, so that the extruded material may be easily manufactured without surface defects and without giving a large load to the extruder.
The preheated billet may be hot extruded at a rate of 10 to 30 mpm. More specifically, if the hot extrusion rate is too slow, productivity may be significantly reduced.
On the other hand, if the extrusion rate is too fast, the extrusion pressure becomes excessively high, so that the extruder may be overloaded. Also, at some high temperature and high rate sections, surface cracking may occur due to localized melting.
Thereafter, the step of subjecting the manufactured extruded material to heat treatment is comprised.
More specifically, in the step of subjecting the manufactured extruded material to heat treatment, the extruded material is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature in the range of 200°C to 400°C.
More specifically, the extruded material is subjected to heat treatment for 0.5 to 2 hours.
By subjecting the extruded material to heat treatment at the above temperature range and for the above time, the deformed structure and the residual stress generated in the above-described step of hot extruding may be alleviated.
This makes it possible to obtain a magnesium alloy material having a recrystallized structure of 99 vol% or more for 100 vol% of the total microstructure of the magnesium alloy material, therefore, the thermal conductivity of the magnesium alloy material may be 135 W/mK or more.
Hereinafter, it will be described in detail with example. However, the following example is for exemplary purposes only, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.

Example

A molten alloy comprising 0.8 to 1.8 wt% of Mn, 0.2 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%) of Ca and the balance of Mg and inevitable impurities, for a total of 100 wt% was continuously casted to prepare a billet.
Thereafter, the billet was subjected to homogenizing heat treatment at 400 °C for 16 hours.
Thereafter, the homogenizing heat-treated billet was preheated at 430 °C for 4 hours.
Thereafter, the preheated billet was hot extruded using a direct hot extruder.
At this time, the extruded material was produced by hot extrusion at 430 °C at a rate of 15 mpm.
Thereafter, the extruded material was subjected to heat treatment at 300 °C for 1 hour to obtain a final magnesium alloy material.

Comparative Example 1

A magnesium alloy comprising 0.5 to 2.0 wt% of Mn, 0.1 wt% or less (excluding 0 wt%) of Al, 8 to 15 ppm of Be, and the balance of Mg, for a total of 100 wt% was strip casted to prepare a sheet;
Thereafter, the sheet was subjected to homogenizing heat treatment under the same conditions as in Example of the present invention.
Thereafter, the homogenizing heat-treated sheet was warm-rolled at a temperature of 150 to 300 °C.

Comparative Example 2

A commercially available AZ31 magnesium alloy was prepared.

Comparative Example 3

A commercially available AZ61 magnesium alloy was prepared.

Comparative Example 4

A commercially available STS304 stainless steel was prepared.

Comparative Example 5

A molten alloy comprising 0.8 to 1.8 wt% of Mn, and the balance of Mg and inevitable impurities, for a total of 100 wt% was continuously casted to prepare a billet.
Compared with the above Example, a molten alloy having the same composition and composition, except that the Ca component was not included, was continuously casted to prepare a billet.
Thereafter, the steps of subjecting the billet to homogenizing heat treatment; preheating the homogenizing heat-treated billet; hot extruding the preheated billet to manufacture an extruded material; and subjecting the manufactured extruded material to heat treatment were carried out under the same conditions as those of the above Example to manufacture a magnesium alloy material.

Experimental Example: Comparison of Thermal Conductivity

Then, the thermal conductivities of the prepared Example and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were compared.
At this time, the thermal conductivity was measured at 25 °C using a thermal constant measuring apparatus after processing the specimen in the form of a circular disk having a diameter of 10 to 13 mm and a thickness of 2.0 to 3.0 mm.
The results are as shown in Table 1 below. [Table 1]

No. Thermal Conductivity (W/mK, 25°C)

Example 138.51

Comparative 1 119.98

Comparative 2 86.92

Comparative 3 65.63

Comparative 4 18.75
As shown in Table 1, the thermal conductivities of Example of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, which are commercially available alloys, are shown in comparison.
As a result, it may be confirmed that Example of the present invention is significantly excellent in thermal conductivity as compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 4.
More specifically, in the case of Comparative Example 1, a magnesium alloy sheet material was manufactured by warm-rolling after strip casting a molten alloy comprising all of Mn, Al, Be, and Ca.
As shown in Table 1, it may be seen that Example of the present invention is excellent in thermal conductivity as compared with Comparative Example 1, which may be explained through the microstructure of the above Example and Comparative Example 1.
The microstructure of the above Example and Comparative Example 1 are shown in FIG. 2 of the present invention.
FIG. 2 shows the microstructure by the heat treatment temperature after extrusion of Example and the microstructure by the heat treatment temperature after rolling of Comparative Example 1 with an optical microscope.
More specifically, FIG. 2 shows the microstructure of Example manufactured by extrusion and Comparative Example 1 manufactured by strip casting method while changing the temperature in the heat treatment condition according to an embodiment of the present invention.
At this time, the heat treatment time was 1 hour at each temperature.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the case of Comparative Example 1, many deformed structures such as shear band and twin defect caused by plastic working are observed.
In addition, in the case of Comparative Example 1, it is seen that residual stress due to cumulative rolling is also accumulated.
On the other hand, in the case of present Example, some recrystallized structure, such as annealed, may be identified in the microstructure of the extruded material by the step of hot extruding (As-extruded in Example).
However, although some twin structures and secondary phases (black particles) are also identified, it is possible to visually confirm that the fraction of the deformed structure is much smaller than that of Comparative Example 1.
Thus, in the case of Comparative Example 1 manufactured by strip casting and warm-rolling, it may be confirmed that a large amount of the deformed structure remains even after the subsequent heat treatment is carried out at the same temperature and time as in Example after the rolling.
On the other hand, in the case of Example of the present invention, before the heat treatment, since the fraction of the internal stress, the deformed structure, and the secondary phase accumulated in the manufactured extruded material (As-extruded in the example) was remarkably smaller than that of the total microstructure, as a result of the subsequent heat treatment, it was confirmed that recovery and recrystallization occurred smoothly
As a result, the recrystallized structure of 99 vol% or more for 100 vol% of the total microstructure was confirmed. In addition, in Example of the present invention, it may be seen that the diameter of the grains is relatively large.
That is, as compared with the microstructure of Comparative Example 1, it may be seen that the microstructure of Example of the present invention has significantly fewer factors impeding thermal conductivity.
Accordingly, as shown in Table 1, the thermal conductivity of Comparative Example 1 is 120 W/mK, while the thermal conductivity of the Example of the present invention is 20 W/mK higher than that of Comparative Example 1.
It may be seen that it is an excellent value compared to that the thermal conductivity of pure magnesium metal is about 155 W/mK and the thermal conductivity of commercially available magnesium alloy is about 80 W/mK.
This feature is achieved by reducing unnecessary alloying elements in the present invention and controlling the process conditions in the step of manufacturing the magnesium alloy material to obtain a microstructure in which recrystallization is completed in which almost no residual stress, secondary phase, deformed structure and the like.
More specifically, it is a result of formation of recrystallized structure of 99 vol% or more for 100 vol% of the total microstructure.
In addition, FIG. 3 shows the surface characteristics of the extruded material according to whether or not the Ca component is added through Example of the present invention and Comparative Example 5.
As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of Example of the present invention in which the Ca component is comprised, since the ignition temperature of the alloy is increased as comprising a small amount of the Ca component, it may be confirmed that surface cracking is suppressed during hot extrusion.
As a result, it may be confirmed that the surface shape is excellent.
On the other hand, in the case of Comparative Example 5 which does not comprise a small amount of Ca, since the ignition temperature is low, it may be confirmed that the surface shape of the magnesium alloy is inferior due to surface cracking during hot extrusion.
For this reason, it may be seen that adding Ca in a small amount is important from the viewpoint of productivity.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be understood by a person skilled in the art may understand that it may be carried out in different and concrete forms without changing the technical idea or fundamental feature of the present invention.
Therefore, it is to be understood that the above-mentioned examples or embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not limitative.
The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
