Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing high strength magnesium-lithium alloy. The magnesium-lithium alloy comprises following components by weight percent: 6-10wt% of Li, 2.5-7.5wt% of Zn, 1-3wt% of Gd, 0.2-0.6wt% of Zr, less than 0.02wt% of impurity elements like Si, Fe, Cu and Ni, and the balance of Mg. The method comprises three steps of smelting, plastic deformation and thermal treatment, wherein the smelting comprises the steps of drying the materials, melting magnesium, adding Zn and Gd, adding Zr, adding Li and casting; the plastic deformation comprises the steps of homogenization treatment and plastic deformation processing; and the thermal treatment comprises the step of aging treatment. As elements like Zn and Gd are added into the magnesium-lithium alloy, quasi-crystal is taken as a strengthening phase to be introduced into the solidification structure of the magnesium-lithium alloy, and the added Zr is taken as a grain refiner, low density and high strength magnesium-lithium alloy is obtained after subsequent steps of plastic deformation and thermal treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-strength magnesium-lithium alloy added with Zn, Gd and Zr elements and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of metal materials. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy has the advantages of low density, wide range of sources, high specific strength and specific stiffness, etc., and is known as "the green engineering material of the 21st century". By adding Li to magnesium alloys for alloying, its density can be further reduced and the plasticity of magnesium alloys can be improved. Therefore, magnesium-lithium alloys have broad potential application prospects in aerospace and other fields that require high weight reduction. At present, a major problem limiting the application of magnesium-lithium alloys is that their strength is low, which is difficult to meet the requirements of engineering applications. Therefore, the d...
