The invention provides a flux-free vacuum-cast high-purity
magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The method includes the following steps that (1) raw materials are preheated; (2) heating and
smelting are performed as follows: after the inside of a furnace is pumped to be vacuum, the furnace is filled with
inert gas to be under the pressure being 500-1,000 Pa, power-transmission heatingis started, and the three-stage type heating manner is adopted in the heating process; (3) gas introduction and refinement are performed as follows: gas introduction and refinement are performed in melt obtained in step (2), the
inert gas is introduced, in the process of gas introduction and refinement, the temperature is increased to be 800-850 DEG C at the rate of 3-8 DEG C / min, then high-temperature standing is performed under the temperature condition that 800-850 DEG C is kept, and the standing time ranges from 15 min to 40 min; (4) filtering and
casting are performed as follows: after high-temperature standing in step (3) ends, the temperature is reduced to be 760-820 DEG C, and
casting is performed after filtering; (5) cooling is performed as follows: after
casting in step (4), furnace cooling is started, or the
inert gas is introduced for boosting cooling, and then a
magnesium alloy cast
ingot is obtained. The obtained
magnesium alloy is uniform in structure, free of nonmetalslag inclusions (such as flux
slag inclusions and oxidation
slag inclusions), low in
shrinkage porosity, few in cast
ingot defect and obvious in effect on magnesium-
rare earth alloys difficult in slagremoval.
