Abstract

The invention provides a grain refining method for AZ31 magnesium alloy. In the method, an effective nucleation core is separated out in the solidification process of melt by regulating the mass ratio of magnesium (Mg) to ferrum (Fe) in the melting process, so that tiny and equiaxial AZ31 ingots are obtained. By the method, the effective nucleation core is formed in the subsequent process of the melt only by regulating and controlling the mass ratio of the Mg to the Fe, without greatly changing the preparation melting process of the AZ31 alloy, so that the grain refining aim is fulfilled; and a grain refiner does not need to be added, so that the method is low in cost, high in production efficiency and simple in operation and has no pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a grain refinement method of an AZ31 magnesium alloy, which belongs to the field of metal smelting. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy is the lightest metal structure material at present. It has low density, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good vibration resistance, good electromagnetic shielding performance, excellent casting performance and machining performance. It is used in automobiles, transportation, Aviation and other fields have been more and more applications. However, due to the hexagonal close-packed lattice structure of magnesium, the plastic deformation ability of magnesium alloys is poor, which greatly limits the application range of magnesium alloys. As an effective means to improve the plastic deformation ability of magnesium alloys, grain refinement technology has always been a research hotspot in the field of application and development of magnesium alloys. [0003] AZ31 belongs ...
