This application gept. 13, 1962, Ser. No. 223,526
11 Gaims. (Cl. 75168) This invention relates to a magnesium-base alloy containing at least 85 weight percent of magnesium and is more particularly concerned with a thorium-free magnesium alloy having primarily the following composition:
Weight percent, balance Mg Rare earth metal 0.05 to 2 Zinc 0.05 to 0.5
The alloy of the invention exhibits excellent high temperature properties comparable to the thorium-containing alloys but avoids the use of expensive thorium metal. both at ambient room temperature and at elevated tem peratures such as 400 F.
The rare earth metals suitable for use in preparing the present alloy are: cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, didymium (a mixture of rare earth metals having praseodymium and neodymium as major constitucuts) or misch metal (a mixture or" rare earth metals). Any of the foregoing rare earth metals may be used alone or in any combination in compounding the alloy. A commercially available misch metal, sometimes called cerium misch metal, containing from 35 to 80 percent of cerium, the balance being rare earth metals and up to 5 percent of non-rare earth metal, is the preferred rare earm metal ingredient of the alloy because of availability, although the use of didymium permits the obtaining of somewhat higher strength properties at given rare earth metal concentrations.
The alloy may be further improved by the addition of from 0.2 to 2 percent by Weight of manganese as a matrix strengthen ng component. if desired, a small amount of zirconium, e.g., not more than about 0.2 percent, may
be beneficially employed concurrently with manganese for its grain refining action, although when substantially larger amounts of zirconium are added, there is a tendency for zirconium and manganese to precipitae from the alloy together.
if desired, small amounts of one or more other matrix strengthening components which are well known in the magnesium art may be added to the alloy provided they are compatible therewith, i.e., do not precipitate componets therefrom during alloy preparation or otherwise adversely effect high temperature properties of the alloy. However, it is preferred that the alloy of the invention contain at least 95 percent by weight of magnesium.
The alloy also exhibits good resistance to creep 3,1514% Patented Nov. 17, 1964 The composition is further limited to alloys in which the proportion of zinc is in the range of from 1 to /3 part of zinc per part of rare earth metal in compositions containing up to about 0.6 percent of rare earth metal, and the proportion of zinc is in the range of from 0.2 to 0.5 percent by weight in compositions containing from about 0.6 to 2 percent of rare earth metal.
While higher physical strength properties are generally obtainable at higher cost upon employing higher proportions of rare earth metal, it is usually to be desired for economic reasons that smaller proportions of rare earth metal be used. Thus, a desirable range of proportions of the present alloy is at least 95 percent of magnesium, from 0.2 to 1 percent of rare earth metal and from 0.067 to 0.5 percent of zinc. I
The most preferred proportions of the alloying components in the present alloy are, by weight, from 0.2 to 0.5 percent of rare earth metal and from 0.067 to 0.5 percent of zinc. The most preferred weight ratio of rare earth metal to zinc is about 2 parts of rare earth metal per parL of zinc. The most preferred proportion of matrix strengthening component is by Weight from 0.5 to 1 percent of manganese.
The alloy may be made in the desired proportions according to the invention by melting together the alloying ingredients in proper porportions or by using hardeners of magnesium alloys containing the alloy constituents.
Protection iromvoxidation during alloying is effected by the use of a magnesium chloride-free saline flux as in conventional alloying. The molten alloy may be flux refined by stirring the alloy with additional flux. The soreiined alloy is allowed to settle and then is separated from the flux as by decanting into a suitable casting mold, e.g., a slab mold for rolling stock.
EXAMPLES To illustrate the advantageous results which can be achieved by the present invention, a series of compositions according to the invention were prepared and cast into respective rolling slabs (e.g., 2 inches x 4 inches x 8 inches). Each slab was treated as follows: The faces of the slab were scalped to remove surface impurities or inclusions. The slab was heated to about 900 F. and rolled into sheet form. Test coupons were cut from the so-prepared sheet and subjected to physical testing. Compressive yield strength and tensile strength tests were carried out in the longitudinal direction of rolling. The alloy compositions, test conditions and the static strength properties are listed in Table 1.
By way of comparison, magnesium-rare earth metal alloys containing, respectively, no zinc, and zinc in rare earth metal to zinc ratios outside the scope of the present invention were prepared and rolled into sheet form and similarly tested. The results of these comparision tests are listed in Table I.
By examination of the data in Table I, it may be seen that the alloy of the invention exhibits better high temperature strength properties and greatly increased creep resistance at elevated temperatures.
