The invention discloses a novel high-strength and high-thermal-
conductivity magnesium alloy material which comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.8-4.4% of Zn, 0.1-0.3% of Cu, 0.1-0.3% of Ca, 0.3-0.5% of Zr and the balance of Mg and inevitable impurities. The invention also provides a preparation method. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, preparing the raw materials according to the proportion; s2, a refining agent is prepared, then the raw materials prepared in the step S1 are melted in sequence and then stand for a period of time, then the raw materials are mixed with the refining agent, Mg
alloy melt is obtained, and the temperature of the Mg
alloy melt is controlled within a specific range; s3,
casting the Mg alloy melt in the S2 into a
metal mold, taking out the Mg alloy melt after the Mg alloy melt is solidified, slowly immersing the Mg alloy melt into water, and cooling to obtain an Mg alloy cast
ingot; s4, preserving the heat of the Mg alloy cast
ingot prepared in S3 for a period of time at a specific temperature, and then slowly immersing the Mg alloy cast
ingot in water for cooling to obtain a T4-state Mg alloy cast ingot; and S5, the T4-state Mg alloy cast ingot obtained in the step S4 is subjected to heat preservation for a period of time at the specific temperature and then is subjected to
air cooling, and a T6-state Mg alloy cast ingot, namely the
magnesium alloy material, is obtained.
