Problems solved by technology

In recent years, researchers have strived to increase the strength of magnesium-lithium alloys, but methods that can increase strength often lead to a decrease in the plasticity of magnesium-lithium alloys
Chinese patent 201010103173.8 discloses a low-rare-earth high-strength magnesium-lithium alloy and its preparation method. Although the magnesium-lithium alloy of the invention has a tensile strength of 200-260 MPa, its elongation is only 20%
Chinese patent 200710144339.9 discloses a high-strength magnesium-lithium alloy. Although the tensile strength of the alloy in this invention reaches 245-300MPa, the elongation is only 10-25%.
[0003] In the magnesium-lithium alloy, the addition of Li (body-centered cubic) can reduce the axial ratio (c / a value) of the magnesium lattice (hexagonal close-packed), and improve the symmetry of the magnesium alloy lattice, so that its prism and cone The surface-slip system is more easily activated, thereby improving the plasticity of the alloy material, but the addition of a large amount of Li element will not only increase the cost of the alloy, but also reduce the corrosion resistance and thermal stability of the material.
