Abstract

The invention provides an aluminum-lithium-samarium alloy and a fused salt electrolysis preparation method thereof. The aluminum-lithium-samarium alloy is prepared by the following steps of: heating LiCl and KCl serving as an electrolyte system to 630 DEG C for fusion in an electrolytic furnace; uniformly mixing Sm2O3 powder and AlCl3 and tabletting the mixture, adding the mixture into fused salt in the form of grains to ensure that the mass ratio of the AlCl3, LiCl to KCl is 6.2-11.0 percent to 44.5-46.9 percent to 44.5-46.9 percent, wherein the amount of the added Sm2O3 is 1 percent of the weight of the electrolytic fused salt; and taking metal molybdenum as a cathode and graphite as an anode and performing electrolysis for 2 to 6 hours to deposit the Al-Li-Sm alloy close to the cathode of the fused salt electrolysis cell, wherein the electrolysis temperature is between 630 and 720 DEG C, the cathode current density is 6.4A / cm<2> and the anode current density is 0.5A / cm<2>. By completely using metal compounds as raw materials and adding aluminum chloride, the chlorination of samarium oxide is realized and the aluminum-lithium-samarium alloys of different components are obtained by controlling the conditions such as the proportion of the electrolytes, the electrolysis time, the temperature, the current density and the like. The alloy and the method have the advantages of simple whole process, low requirements on equipment, low energy consumption and low pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to alloys. The invention also relates to a method for preparing the alloy. Specifically, it is an aluminum-lithium-samarium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Adding metal element lithium (Li) to aluminum alloy can increase the elastic modulus of the alloy while reducing the density of the alloy. Therefore, aluminum-lithium alloy is used as a low density, high elastic modulus, high specific strength and high specific stiffness Aluminum alloys have shown broad application prospects in the aerospace field. Rare earth metals have extremely high chemical activity, and when added to aluminum and aluminum alloys, they have dual functions of impurity removal and modification: because rare earth elements are active, they can form stable high-melting point intermetallic compounds with many elements in the form of a network or a skeleton Distributed in grain boundaries and dendrites; adding rare earths...
