Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process method for preparing magnesium alloy by electroslag remelting, which belongs to the field of magnesium alloy production. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloys are the lightest (lowest density) metallic structural materials that can be produced and applied on a large scale. Magnesium alloy has high specific strength and specific stiffness, good machinability and damping performance, so it is an ideal material for many products to achieve lightweight. In recent years, driven by the low-carbon economy, the energy saving and emission reduction of automobile products has become the focus of social attention, and magnesium alloy has therefore become one of the important materials of modern automobile products. [0003] So far, there are dozens of grades of commercial magnesium alloys, covering Mg-Al-Zn (AZ), Mg-Al-Si (AS), Mg-Al-RE (AE), Mg-Zn series and Mg-RE There are many alloy systems, but only a small number...
