[0002] In recent years, the density of electronic components on integrated circuits has become higher and higher, resulting in more and more heat released by components per unit time and per unit area, which has greatly restricted the further development of the 3C field. Therefore, 3C heat dissipation components have gradually developed. However, thermal conductivity is not the only requirement for manufacturing 3C heat dissipation components today; the general trend of energy saving and weight reduction requires that heat dissipation components need to use materials with lower density, so that heat dissipation components can have sufficient heat dissipation capacity while having lighter weight. As the lightest metal structural material, Mg has good thermal conductivity, which makes it have great potential to become a raw material for manufacturing heat dissipation components.

[0078] Comparative Example 1

[0079] Made of AZ91 alloy.

[0080] Comparative Example 2

[0081] Compared with Example 1, the alloy material is Mg-0.9Zn-0.1Cu, and the rest is the same (named ZC10).

[0082] Comparative Example 3

[0083] Compared with Example 3, the alloy material is Mg-2.9Zn-0.2Ca-0.4Zr, and the rest is the same (named ZXK300).

[0084] Comparative Example 4

[0085] Compared with Example 3, the alloy material is Mg-2.9Zn-0.2Cu-0.4Zr, and the rest is the same (named as ZCK300).

[0086] Comparative Example 5

[0087] Compared with Example 4, the alloy material is Mg-4.2Zn-0.2Ca-0.5Zr, and the rest is the same (named ZXK400).

[0088] Comparative Example 6

[0089] Compared with Example 3, the subsequent operations of S8 and S9 are not performed, and the rest are the same (named ZXKC3000-as-cast).

[0090] Among them, in the preparation process of Examples 1-4, it should be noted that during the mixing process of the Mg alloy melt and the refining agent, the mixed gas of CO2:SF6=99:1 will form a dense protective film on the surface of the Mg alloy melt, which can effectively hinder the evaporation of Mg. Therefore, during the stirring process, care should be taken not to damage the protective film on the surface of the melt to prevent Mg from evaporating, which will make the composition of the Mg alloy melt difficult to control, and at the same time avoid the damaged protective film from becoming inclusions, thereby reducing the performance of the final Mg alloy material.

[0091] The purpose of cooling twice is that when the temperature of the pit-type resistance furnace is lowered, the resistance wire stops working immediately, and the heat capacity of various gases inside the pit-type resistance furnace is very low, so the temperature of the carbon steel crucible drops rapidly, but the heat capacity of the Mg alloy melt is very high, so the temperature of the Mg alloy melt drops slowly, resulting in a large temperature difference between the surface and the center of the Mg alloy melt. When the internal temperature of the Mg alloy melt reaches the predetermined value, its surface temperature will be lower than the predetermined value, and even solidify to a certain extent, affecting the casting process.

[0092] The ultimate tensile strength (UTS), tensile yield strength (TYS), elongation (EL) and thermal conductivity of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6 are shown in Table 1:

[0093]

[0094]

[0095] Table 1

[0096] It can be seen from Table 1 that the magnesium alloy materials prepared in Examples 1-4 can better balance mechanical properties and thermal conductivity compared with the magnesium alloy materials prepared in Comparative Examples 1-6.

[0097] Among them, it can be seen from Comparative Examples 2-5 that, although only one or two components are reduced compared with the corresponding embodiments, and the thermal conductivity of the magnesium alloy material finally obtained can be guaranteed, the mechanical properties are far inferior to those of the magnesium alloy material prepared in the corresponding embodiments. Therefore, the magnesium alloy material prepared in Comparative Examples 2-5 cannot take into account both good thermal conductivity and mechanical properties.

[0098] As for Comparative Example 6, the two-step heat treatment of solid solution and aging is reduced. Although its thermal conductivity has not changed significantly, its mechanical properties are seriously reduced compared with those of Example 3. Therefore, the magnesium alloy material prepared by a single casting method cannot have both good mechanical properties and thermal conductivity.

[0099] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the invention rather than to limit it. Although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the invention.
