[0030] The above solution will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrating the present invention and not for limiting the scope of the present invention. The implementation conditions adopted in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to the conditions of specific manufacturers, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.

[0031] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a locally anodic magnesium alloy housing, including the following steps:

[0032] S1. Obtain the magnesium alloy part body 1 by die-casting process;

[0033] S2. Use an automatic riveting machine to pre-rivet the magnesium alloy layer 2-1 and the aluminum alloy layer 2-2, and obtain a composite plate with the magnesium alloy layer 2-1 and the aluminum alloy layer 2-2 stacked up and down through a rolling process. Take a strip-shaped composite material 2 with a certain width on the composite plate;

[0034] S3. Bend the strip-shaped composite material 2 obtained in step S2 to obtain a U-shaped composite material 2 with the magnesium alloy layer 2-1 on the inner side and the aluminum alloy layer 2-2 on the outer side, as Figure 2 shown;

[0035] S4. Place the U-shaped composite material 2 obtained in step S3 on the outer periphery of the magnesium alloy plate body 1 obtained in step S1, and fixedly connect the U-shaped composite material 2 with the magnesium alloy plate body 1;

[0036] S5. Perform CNC machining on the component obtained in step S4 to remove redundant structures to obtain a magnesium alloy housing;

[0037] S6. Perform anti-corrosion surface treatment on the magnesium alloy housing obtained in step S5 and then perform drying treatment;

[0038] S7. Perform surface coloring treatment on the magnesium alloy housing obtained in step S6 and then perform drying treatment;

[0039] S8. Perform mirror machining on the aluminum alloy layer on the outer periphery of the magnesium alloy housing obtained in step S7;

[0040] S9. Perform high-gloss anodic treatment on the mirror surface part processed in step S8 to obtain the magnesium alloy housing as Figure 1 shown.

[0041] The magnesium alloy part body obtained by die-casting process in step S1 is the large surface part of the magnesium alloy housing. The required magnesium alloy part body is die-cast from magnesium alloy AZ91D by semi-solid die-casting process.

[0042] In step S2, aluminum alloy (the grade can be A16063 or A15052, which can be switched according to the actual product requirements) and AZ31B magnesium alloy materials are pre-riveted and aligned at the material head, and then the materials are preheated to 350 - 450 °C. After sufficient preheating, they are subjected to composite rolling on a rolling mill. After obtaining the composite sheet by composite rolling, the thickness of the magnesium alloy layer is 2 - 5 mm, and the thickness of the aluminum alloy layer is 1 - 3 mm. A strip-shaped composite material with a certain width is taken from the composite sheet, and the width of the strip-shaped composite material is 5 - 10 mm.

[0043] In step S4, friction stir welding or laser welding is used to fixedly connect the U-shaped composite material with the magnesium alloy part body. Since the inner side of the composite material is the magnesium alloy layer, it is convenient to perform welding and fixation with the magnesium alloy part body, while the outer side of the composite material is the aluminum alloy layer, which can ensure the high-brightness appearance effect of the product.

[0044] In step S5, CNC machining is mainly performed on the welding position of the magnesium alloy shell and the composite material.

[0045] In step S6, the anti-corrosion surface treatment is a chemical conversion process or a MAO (micro-arc oxidation) process. The chemical conversion process and the MAO process are common processes in the prior art, and will not be elaborated in this invention.

[0046] The surface coloring treatment in step S7 is spray painting treatment or electrophoretic treatment. On the one hand, it can color the magnesium alloy shell to optimize the appearance, and on the other hand, it can perform anodic shielding on the magnesium alloy part body to facilitate subsequent high-bright anodic treatment.

[0047] In step S8, a mirror structure is machined using an MCD (single-crystal diamond) tool, or a mirror structure is machined using a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) tool and then polished.

[0048] The high-bright anodic treatment in step S9 is a process in the prior art. The magnesium alloy shell obtained in step S8 is placed in an electrolyte, and anodic oxidation is carried out for 30 - 60 minutes under the conditions of a voltage of 12 - 20 V, a current density of 1 - 2 A / dm 2 , and a temperature of 15 - 25 °C, and then soaked in pure water at 90 - 100 °C for 20 - 30 minutes for high-temperature hydration sealing.

[0049] In summary, the magnesium alloy shell prepared by this method can achieve a high-brightness effect and reduce production costs.

[0050] The above examples are only for illustrating the technical concept and characteristics of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and it cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. All equivalent transformations or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
