Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages are: due to the large difference in specific gravity between rare earth and magnesium, it is easy to cause rare earth metals to sink to the bottom, difficult to dissolve and diffuse, resulting in uneven rare earth content, and prone to peritectic reaction, resulting in inclusions; in addition, rare earth metals Except for La, Ce, Pr and Nd, the preparation process of other medium and heavy rare earth metals is complicated and the manufacturing cost is high
The electrolytic cell structure of this process is complex, and the current efficiency, rare earth metal yield and product purity are all low

Abstract

The invention discloses a making method of intermediate alloy of high rare earth magnesium, which is characterized by the following: adding RE-O and MgO in the REF3-LiF or REF3-MgF2-LiF fusing salt system; electrolyzing; proceeding eutectoid; making the product with high receiving rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a rare-earth-magnesium master alloy by electrolytic eutectoid of rare-earth oxide and magnesium oxide. Background technique [0002] Rare earth plays an important role in improving the heat resistance, casting, welding and mechanical properties of magnesium alloys. The developed magnesium alloys containing rare earths such as MB25 (Mg-Zn-Zr-Y system), MB15 (Mg-Zn-Zr-Nd system) , ZM5 (Mg-cerium-rich system), etc. have been widely used in various fields of aviation, aerospace and automobiles. [0003] The traditional smelting method of rare earth magnesium alloy is the method of doping, that is, the rare earth metal is directly added to the magnesium liquid to prepare magnesium alloy. Its disadvantages are: due to the large difference in specific gravity between rare earth and magnesium, it is easy to cause rare earth metals to sink to the bottom, difficult to dissolve and diffuse, resulting in uneven rare...
