Abstract

The invention provides a high-strength cast magnesium-lithium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The alloy contains the following components in percentage by weight: 7-12% of Li, 4.2-8.5% of Al, 3.2-6.5% of Zn, 0.2-1.1% of Y, 0-1% of Ca and the balance of Mg and unavoidable impurities. The preparation method comprises a step of smelting and a step of thermal treatment. According to the invention, the elements Al, Zn, Y and Ca are added into the magnesium-lithium alloy to hinder the melt combustion; a long-period structure is introduced into the solidification structure of the magnesium-lithium alloy as a strengthening phase; and more strengthened precipitated phases are obtained after follow-up thermal treatment so as to prepare the high-strength cast magnesium-lithium alloy with relatively high thermal stability.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-strength cast magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-strength magnesium-lithium alloy added with Al, Zn, Y and Ca elements and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of metal materials. Background technique [0002] Magnesium alloy has the advantages of low density, wide sources, high specific strength and specific rigidity, and is known as the "green engineering material of the 21st century". However, ordinary magnesium alloy materials still have problems such as high density and low plasticity, which are difficult to meet the requirements of use. Magnesium-lithium alloy is an ultra-light magnesium alloy with higher specific strength and specific rigidity than ordinary magnesium alloys. The density of ordinary magnesium-lithium alloys is about 1.25-1.65g / cm 3 , Is about one-third lighter than ordinary magnesium alloys. Therefore, magnesium-lithium alloys have a wid...
