Problems solved by technology

On the one hand, the existing magnesium and magnesium alloy devices are mainly castings, and the ingots obtained by conventional solidification methods often have serious internal and external structure inhomogeneity and solute segregation, which seriously affects the stability of corrosion performance and mechanical properties. , which also makes it impossible to guarantee the uniformity of metal flow and the dimensional accuracy of processed products during subsequent plastic deformation; and magnesium alloy standard samples, the lack of standard samples and standard physical and chemical properties has seriously delayed its development
In addition, due to the active nature of magnesium and magnesium alloys, it is easy to react with oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor in the air to form various solid slag inclusions; at the same time, because of its large volume shrinkage during the solidification process, it is easy to cause higher density porosity. Shrinkage cavity, its performance will be significantly deteriorated
[0004] For the uniformity of magnesium and magnesium alloy castings, homogenization annealing treatment (CN1775992A; CN 102586561A; CN 108441731A) is often used at present, that is, the castings are heated to 100°C-200°C lower than the solidus line and kept warm for a long time (the principle of metal solidification , Gao Yimin, Xi’an Jiaotong University Press, 2009), but due to the small solid-phase diffusion coefficient, it can only alleviate or eliminate microscopic dendrite segregation but cannot improve macroscopic segregation, and it often needs to cooperate with subsequent plastic processing methods to further homogenize
Patent applications CN 111057890A and CN 108645685B mentioned that in the solid-liquid coexistence two-phase region or in the solidification process, the diffusion can be accelerated by coupling electromagnetic field, ultrasonic field, electric field and mechanical vibration to achieve homogenization, but the required equipment conditions are relatively high
In addition, the problems of porosity and shrinkage cavity in the casting process of magnesium and magnesium alloys are mostly solved by sequential solidification or setting risers, but these methods will inevitably lead to obvious composition segregation, which is contrary to the requirement of composition uniformity
