Abstract

The invention provides a magnesium-lithium alloy used for sand mold casting and a preparing method of the magnesium-lithium alloy. The magnesium-lithium alloy comprises, by weight percent, 3%-10% of Li, 2%-7% of Al, 0.5%-3.5% of Zn, 0.5%-3% of Nd, 0.5%-3% of Ce, 0.05%-0.2% of Ti, 0.005%-0.05% of C and the balance Mg and inevitable impurities. The preparing method includes smelting and heat treatment. According to the magnesium-lithium alloy used for sand mold casting and the preparing method of the magnesium-lithium alloy, Li, Al and Zn serve as the main alloy elements and Nd, Ce, Ti and C are added, so that the solid solution strengthening effect of the magnesium-lithium alloy use for sand mold casting is improved, shrinkage porosity defects are reduced, the sand mold casting performance is improved, grain growth of the alloy in the sand mold casting process and the later solid solution process is inhibited, segregation of the Li element is reduced, and the yield of the Li element is increased. According to the magnesium-lithium alloy used for sand mold casting and the preparing method of the magnesium-lithium alloy, magnesium-lithium alloy grains are well refined on the premise that the alloy cost is not improved obviously, and the beneficial effects that the sand mold casting forming performance is good, the comprehensive mechanical performance is high, and the cost is low are achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a magnesium-lithium alloy suitable for sand casting and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the special working environment of aviation, aerospace and weaponry, structural weight reduction and structural load-bearing and functional integration are important directions for their development. Magnesium-lithium alloys have low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness, excellent shock resistance and cutting processing With good performance and other advantages, it has broad application prospects in the fields of aerospace and national defense military industries. However, most aerospace magnesium alloy parts are produced by low-pressure sand casting methods due to their complex structures and large sizes. Magnesium-lithium alloy low-pressure sand casting is a new technology combining advanced materials and advanced tec...
