Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of magnesium alloy preparation, and in particular relates to a low-cost, low-density, high-modulus magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a new generation of lightweight, green engineering structural materials, magnesium alloys offer the inherent advantages of low density and high specific strength, holding enormous potential for weight reduction in equipment design. However, the elastic modulus of conventional magnesium alloys is less than 45 GPa, resulting in insufficient resistance to elastic deformation. This shortcoming significantly limits their application in engineering. Therefore, developing a new generation of magnesium alloys with both high modulus and high strength and toughness is of great significance.

[0003] At present, the main methods for improving the elastic modulus of magnesium alloys are alloying and compounding. Traditional alloying methods have limited effect on improving the elastic modulus and toughness of magnesium alloys. Alloying methods are mainly used for rare earth magnesium alloys. Although adding a large amount of rare earth elements such as Gd, Y or Ce can improve the elastic modulus and toughness of the material, due to the high density of rare earth elements, the large amount of addition makes the density of magnesium alloys reach 2.0g / cm 3 The density of magnesium alloys is higher than that of aluminum alloys, which is contrary to the lightweight design concept of materials. At the same time, the addition of precious rare earth elements makes the preparation cost of materials remain high. In the prior art, the solution of document CN 114318093A increases the elastic modulus of magnesium alloys by adding Li elements. However, since the preparation of Mg-Li alloys requires specific vacuum melting equipment, the manufacturing cost is high, and the improvement of the elastic modulus of magnesium alloys by Li elements is limited. The elastic modulus of the prepared materials is lower than 60GPa. The solution of document CN 114686738A increases the elastic modulus of magnesium alloys by adding rare earth elements such as Ce. However, rare earth elements are not only expensive but also have high density, resulting in the density of the prepared magnesium alloy reaching (2.13~3.24) g / cm 3 , and even its density exceeds that of aluminum alloy, but its elastic modulus is far lower than that of aluminum alloy; in the solution of document CN109972009A, by adding one or more of the RE rare earth elements Gd, Y, Sm, Nd, Er, Eu, Ho, Tm, Lu, Dy, and Yb, the cost of preparing magnesium alloy is high, and the density of the material is greatly increased. Moreover, the elastic modulus of the prepared magnesium alloy is lower than 55 GPa.

[0004] In summary, magnesium alloys struggle to balance elastic modulus, density, and cost, hindering their potential for widespread, large-scale lightweight applications. The development of low-cost, low-density, high-modulus magnesium alloys has been a key research topic in recent years. Summary of the Invention
