Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of flame retardant magnesium alloys, and particularly relates to a flame retardant magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As the lightest "green" metal structural material, magnesium alloy has many advantages, such as light density, high specific strength, good damping and shock absorption performance, excellent electromagnetic shielding performance, easy processing, recyclability, etc. Therefore, it has received great attention from many industries and is considered to be one of the most valuable lightweight structural materials.

[0003] With the rapid development of the aviation field, aircraft have also put forward an urgent demand for weight reduction. Manned spacecraft, such as large aircraft and flying cars, require lightweight materials to have high safety while achieving lightweight structure, especially commercial manned aircraft, which require lightweight materials to meet high flame retardant properties. Magnesium alloy is an effective way to achieve aircraft weight reduction. Among them, Mg-Al alloys are widely used, but Mg-Al alloys usually have very active physical properties. When the melt is directly exposed to the atmosphere, it will undergo violent oxidation combustion. The ignition point is usually lower than 680°C and the flame retardant performance is poor. Therefore, in order to improve the flame retardant properties of components prepared using Mg-Al alloys, it is often necessary to treat the surface of the components, such as surface coating technology and micro-arc oxidation technology, or add rare earth elements Gd and Y, alkaline earth elements Be and Ca, and refractory metal elements V, Ti, Ge, etc. to Mg-Al alloys. Surface treatment will increase the production cost of components, and the processing is complicated, and the durability of the coating is also problematic; the most effective metal elements added to Mg-Al magnesium alloys are Ca and Be elements. Be elements are harmful to the human body and are generally not recommended for industrial practical applications. Although adding Ca can significantly improve the flame retardant properties of Mg-Al alloys, the addition amount often needs to exceed 2wt% to have good flame retardant properties. This amount of Ca addition will cause Mg-Al alloys to have a serious tendency to thermal cracking, and it is impossible to prepare components with large sizes or complex structures, and it is also impossible to use the mainstream casting process on the market to prepare components, resulting in the magnesium alloys with Ca addition having no high practical application value. Therefore, the development of a Mg-Al alloy with excellent casting properties and high flame retardant properties can not only promote the development of magnesium alloys in the fields of aviation and low-altitude flying cars, but also has important significance for the development and application of magnesium alloys in the fields of new energy vehicles, electronic 3C (information home appliance industry that integrates the three major technology products of computers, communications, and consumer electronics).

[0040] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0041] (1) The flame retardant magnesium alloy provided by the present invention does not rely on traditional elements such as Ca, Be, Y, Sr, Nb, Gd, Y as the main flame retardant elements to achieve the purpose of flame retardancy, but uses Yb as the main flame retardant element. The affinity of Yb to oxygen is much greater than the affinity of magnesium to oxygen, so Yb will react with oxygen on the surface of the Mg-Al flame retardant magnesium alloy melt before Mg to form a dense ytterbium oxide film layer. Ytterbium oxide has a single structure and a high melting point, and has excellent high temperature resistance. At the same time, ytterbium oxide has a low thermal cracking tendency, so that the ytterbium oxide film layer will not crack at high temperatures. In addition, Yb diffuses faster in the magnesium melt and has a surface diffusion characteristic. Therefore, under high-temperature burning conditions, as time goes by, the ytterbium oxide film layer formed by Yb on the surface of the Mg-Al flame retardant magnesium alloy melt becomes thicker, thereby effectively isolating the contact between magnesium and oxygen, increasing the ignition temperature of the Mg-Al flame retardant magnesium alloy, and achieving a better flame retardant effect.

[0042] (2) In the flame-retardant magnesium alloy provided by the present invention, in addition to Yb, Al also has the characteristic of surface diffusion and can form an aluminum oxide film layer on the alloy surface. In addition, aluminum oxide has excellent high temperature resistance. Therefore, the addition of Al can further improve the thickness, density and heat resistance of the oxide film layer on the surface of the magnesium alloy melt; in addition, the addition of Al can also improve the casting performance of the alloy.

[0043] (3) In the flame-retardant magnesium alloy provided by the present invention, the addition of Mn effectively reduces the impurity elements in the magnesium alloy melt, such as Fe and Si, thereby reducing the cracking tendency of the ytterbium oxide and aluminum oxide film layers on the alloy surface, improving the protective effect of the film layer, and also improving the corrosion resistance of the Mg-Al flame-retardant magnesium alloy.

[0044] (4) The flame-retardant magnesium alloy provided by the present invention has good flame-retardant properties, and the flame-retardant point is higher than 1050°C. It also has excellent casting performance and can meet various casting process conditions such as conventional gravity casting, high-pressure casting, semi-continuous casting, etc. It is harmless to the human body and is suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
