The present invention relates to a high-strength and high-
plasticity magnesium alloy material and a preparation method thereof. The
alloy material comprises the following components, by weight: 0.5-3.Swt% of Nd, 0.2-1.2wt% of Ga, 1.5 -4.5wt% of Zr, 0.1-1.0wt% of Zn;
impurity elements comprising no more than 0.02wt% of Al, no more than 0.05wt% of Mn, no more than 0.01wt% of Fe, no more than 0.05wt% of Si, no more than 0.001wt% of Cu, no more than 0.001wt% of Ni and no more than 0.05v% of other
impurity elements; and the balance of Mg. The preparation method comprises steps of: heating pure
magnesium and pure Zn in an industrial line-frequency induction
melting furnace to higher than 400 DEG C and introducing
argon at 1-2.0L / min for protection; heating to 720+ / -10 DEG C; insulating for 15-30 m to completely melt the
metal materials; insulating for 20min after melting; successively adding a piece of Mg-Nd intermediate
alloy and a piece of Mg-Ga intermediate alloy; insulating for 10-15 min after melting; adding a piece of Mg-Zr intermediate alloy; and insulating for 3-5 min after melting. The invention has the following advantages: raw materials have wide sources; and the high-strength and high-
plasticity magnesium alloy material, with mechanical properties at
room temperature reaching Rm no less than 350MPa and A no less than 12%, is prepared through alloying scientific formula design of Zn, Nd, Ga and Zr, and rolling and heat treatment.
