This invention provides a
magnesium-
lithium-based
composite material and its preparation method, belonging to the technical field of
magnesium-based composite materials. The
magnesium-
lithium-based
composite material provided by this invention comprises alternating
layers of a first magnesium-
lithium alloy layer, a second magnesium-lithium
alloy layer, and a third magnesium-lithium
alloy layer. The first magnesium-lithium alloy layer comprises, by
mass percentage, 2-5.7% Li and the balance Mg; the second magnesium-lithium alloy layer comprises, by
mass percentage, 10.3-16% Li and the balance Mg. In this invention, the matrix structure of the first magnesium-lithium alloy layer is an α-Mg
single phase, and the matrix structure of the second magnesium-lithium alloy layer is a β-Li
single phase, arranged in a sandwich structure of α-Mg / β-Li / α-Mg. This integrates the high-strength α-Mg phase with the high-
plasticity β-Li phase, utilizing the impedance mismatch effect of the two different matrix phases to improve the
electromagnetic shielding performance of the magnesium-lithium-based
composite material.
