The invention provides a heatproof and anticorrosion
rare earth magnesium alloy with high obdurability and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of
light metal material. The
rare earth magnesium alloy comprises the following components in proportion by weight: 3-5% of aluminum (Al), 0.1-0.4% of
manganese (Mn), 0.8-2.5% of
yttrium (Y), 0.3-1.0% of stibium (Sb), 0.3-1% of
cadmium (Cd) and balance of
magnesium (Mg). The invention has the advantages of solving the problem of reduction of mechanical properties caused by the splitting effect of a bulky Al2Y relative matrix in the
alloy structure, improving the obdurability of the alloy and the mechanical properties of the alloy under
room temperature and high temperature by making the most of the solution strengthening effect and refined crystalline strengthening effect of the Sb, Y and other elements and the dispersion strengthening effect of the high
melting point YSb particle phase
mass points, further improving the mechanical properties of the alloy by the grain refinement effect and the solution strengthening effect of the
Cd element, and improving the anticorrosion performance of the alloy by improving the
electrode potential of the alloy matrix by the
Cd element, so that the obdurability, heatproof performance and anticorrosion performance of the alloy are higher than that of the existing AE series
magnesium alloy. The technological requirements for the preparation method provided by the invention are not harsh, and the preparation method can meet the industrialized enlarged production requirements and ensure thorough embodiment of the two technical effects.
