Method and die for thinning microstructure of magnesium alloy material through continuous chill casting, squeezing and cutting

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a die for thinning the microstructure of a magnesium alloy material through continuous chill casting, squeezing and cutting. A liquid-stage magnesium alloy is used as a raw material; a water-cooled squeezing die with a chill water jacket arranged outside is used as a crystallizer; and molten metal in the die is cooled and solidified in the water-cooled crystallizer at a sub-high speed, then is in a solid state or a semisolid state, and bears an external force for continuous squeezing and cutting so as to prepare a magnesium alloy bar (sectional material). By the method, the defects of shrinkage cavities and looseness in a magnetic alloy cast structure are overcome, the microstructure and the mechanical properties of a part can be improved, a thinned surface fine crystalline structure is obtained, and the production cost and the tonnage of molding equipment can be reduced; and the thinned microstructure of the magnesium alloy material has the characteristics of sub-high speed solidification and plastic deformation under the action of three-direction squeezing pressures and continuous cutting, and can be used for producing difficultly-deformable alloy bars (sectional materials), and the mechanical properties are improved. The method can also be used for recovering magnesium-aluminum alloys, so that magnesium-aluminum alloy materials are reused.
