A semi-solid injection multi-element micro-alloyed Al-Zn series magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof
By employing Bi-Te-Eu ternary microalloying and gradient heat treatment processes, a grain boundary discrete microtube core-shell structure was constructed, which solved the problem of insufficient plasticity and corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. This enabled the forming of high-strength, high-toughness, and low-corrosion magnesium alloys, suitable for aerospace, automotive lightweighting, and 3C electronics fields.

AI Technical Summary
The β-Mg17Al12 phase continuously distributed at the grain boundaries in existing magnesium alloys deteriorates plasticity. Traditional heat treatment processes are difficult to control grain boundary characteristics, resulting in high corrosion rates and increased costs. There is a lack of dedicated alloy systems and supporting processes for high strength, toughness and corrosion resistance.
By constructing a grain boundary discrete microtube core-shell structure through Bi-Te-Eu ternary synergistic microalloying, and combining semi-solid injection molding with a dedicated gradient heat treatment process, including three-stage gradient solution treatment and two-stage aging treatment, nanopillars with a Bi-rich core phase, a Te-rich shell layer and an Eu-rich surface layer are formed, which block corrosion channels and improve strength and plasticity.
It significantly reduces the continuous area of grain boundaries, improves tensile strength, yield strength and elongation, reduces corrosion rate, shortens heat treatment time and energy consumption, enhances the comprehensive performance of magnesium alloys, and is suitable for forming complex structural parts.
