Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a heat treatment process for a large-size high-strength deformed magnesium alloy forging, in particular to a heat treatment process for a large-size deformed magnesium alloy forging of the Mg-Al-Zn system. Background technique [0002] Mg-Al-Zn series alloys are relatively commonly used deformed magnesium alloys. They are low in price and are suitable for wide application. This series of alloys can not only carry out plastic deformation, but also have aging strengthening effects. Aging strengthening treatment can greatly improve its mechanical properties. Die forging has the advantages of high production efficiency, the ability to form forgings with complex shapes, accurate forging dimensions, full use of materials, reduction of processing residues, and improvement of material strength and plasticity. Magnesium alloy heat treatment usually adopts T5 and T6 heat treatment, T5 is artificial aging directly after casting or proces...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It should be noted that for large-sized parts with complex shapes and uneven wall thicknesses, when T5 is processed, due to the phenomenon of different deformations in various places during die forging, the stress storage energy in various places inside the parts is different.

Aging at a single temperature will lead to different order and size of strengthening phase precipitation at different positions, that is, the position with large deformation energy storage is preferentially precipitated, and when the position with small deformation storage energy reaches the aging peak, the position with large deformation energy storage has already occurred Aging, resulting in uneven performance everywhere

[0004] At present, there is no report in the relevant literature on the process of using a multi-stage aging system to treat die forgings with complex shapes and differences in wall thickness.
