Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of non-ferrous metal materials and processing, and particularly relates to a high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As the lightest metal structural material, magnesium alloy has outstanding advantages in energy conservation, emission reduction and improving fuel efficiency, making it an important lightweight material to replace steel. It has been planned and gradually applied to ground transportation tools, such as high-precision components and secondary load-bearing structural components like the body of new energy vehicles and the seats of high-speed trains. At present, rare-earth magnesium alloys prepared by adding 4% or more (mass percentage) of rare-earth (RE) elements such as Gd, Er, Y, La, Ce, and Sm have shown excellent strength and plasticity, but it is difficult to apply such rare-earth magnesium alloys to the preparation of new energy vehicles. Since these RE elements seriously affect the surface accuracy, performance uniformity and thermal conductivity of die-cast magnesium alloys, they cannot meet the requirements of components such as the body for good appearance and rapid heat dissipation. Moreover, the high cost of RE elements also restricts the cost performance and popularization of new energy vehicles. Therefore, existing commercial-grade cast magnesium alloys mainly added with non-rare-earth elements such as Al, Mn, Zn, and Sn, such as AM60 and AZ31, are still the preferred materials for vehicle lightweighting. Thus, how to prepare a die-cast magnesium alloy with high strength, high plasticity and high thermal conductivity has become the core of material development.
[0003] At present, existing cast magnesium alloys usually add RE elements with a total content higher than 9%, forming MgREAl or MgREZn massive precipitation phases at the grain boundary triple junctions as strengthening phases to obtain high-strength magnesium alloys. However, due to the addition of a large amount of rare earth elements, the fluidity of the melt during the casting process is poor, and the number of dendrites in the obtained ingot is too large to be completely eliminated by solution treatment, resulting in serious deficiencies in both plasticity and thermal conductivity. There are already relevant achievements, such as Chinese patent documents with application numbers CN201810223234.0, CN202011560459.9, and CN202310543366.2, which propose adding RE and Zn elements, or RE and Ca elements simultaneously to Mg-Al series die-cast magnesium alloys or AM60 magnesium alloys. Through high-pressure casting, massive precipitation phases such as MgREAl and / or MgREZn and / or AlRE and / or AlCa are formed at the grain boundaries, especially at the grain boundary triple junctions, thereby increasing the yield strength of the cast magnesium alloy to above 200 MPa. However, affected by the non-coherent relationship between the above four types of precipitation phases and the matrix, its elongation is difficult to exceed 15%, and the matching of strength and plasticity still needs to be optimized. For example, in Chinese patent documents with application numbers CN202110674574.7, CN202110743614.9, CN202111101948.2, and CN202311246312.6, a large amount of Cu elements are also added in combination to induce the precipitation of MgCu binary phases, further promoting precipitation strengthening. However, the above precipitation phases cannot coordinate the grain boundary strain and seriously damage the plasticity. In addition, as described in Chinese patent documents with application numbers CN201310728756.3, CN201810699719.7, CN202110201544.4, and CN202210785356.5, for high-plasticity Mg-Zn series magnesium alloys with a total RE element content lower than 4%, the precipitation response of the MgZn binary phase is fast, enabling the magnesium alloy to obtain high thermal conductivity characteristics simultaneously. However, the precipitation strengthening effect of the MgZn binary phase is significantly inferior to that of the rare earth phase. Therefore, how to balance and simultaneously improve strength, plasticity, and thermal conductivity remains a difficult problem for die-cast magnesium alloys. Summary of the Invention

[0023] Method 1 includes the following steps:
[0024] S1. According to the mass percentages of the components in the magnesium alloy, weigh the required raw materials, carry out melting and casting to obtain an ingot; the temperature of the melting and casting is 680°C to 750°C;
[0025] S2. Carry out solution treatment on the ingot; the temperature of the solution treatment is 400°C to 460°C and the time is 2h to 24h;

[0027] Method 2 includes the following steps:
[0028] According to the mass percentages of the components in the magnesium alloy, weigh the required raw materials, carry out melting and casting to obtain the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy; the specific process of the melting and casting is: high-pressure casting at a temperature of 680°C to 750°C for 5s to 60s, then keep warm at 160°C to 240°C for 0 to 24h, and cool to room temperature.
[0029] For the above-mentioned preparation method, which is further improved, when preparing the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy by Method 1, when the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy further comprises 0 to 1% of Zn element and 0.2% to 0.5% of Cu element, in step S3, the temperature of the aging treatment is 200°C to 240°C and the time is 6h to 24h;
[0030] When the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy further comprises 1% to 3% of Zn element and 0 to 0.2% of Cu element, in step S3, the temperature of the aging treatment is 160°C to 200°C and the time is 24h to 48h.
[0031] In the above preparation method, for further improvement, when preparing the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy by Method 2, the pressure of the high-pressure casting is 20 MPa to 100 MPa; the specific process of the melting and casting is as follows: high-pressure casting for 5 s to 30 s at a temperature of 700 °C to 750 °C, then keeping warm at 200 °C to 240 °C for 0 to 6 h, and cooling to room temperature.
[0032] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:
[0033] (1) For the existing die-cast Mg-Al series alloys (especially AM60 magnesium alloy), they contain a large number of MgAl precipitation phases that are incoherent with the matrix inside, and the size is usually greater than 500 nm or even close to the micron level, seriously damaging the plasticity, and the precipitation strengthening effect generated is extremely limited, resulting in the defects that both the strength and plasticity are difficult to meet the mechanical property requirements of transportation tools for magnesium alloys. The present invention creatively proposes a high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy. By adding RE elements (one of Y, Gd, Er, and Sm elements) with a total content not exceeding 3%, it aggregates at the grain boundaries to form a segregation strengthening effect, and reduces the number of solute atoms in the grains, which is beneficial to thermal conductivity. At the same time, there are only a small number of MgAl precipitation phases in the grains that are incoherent with the matrix, with minimal damage to plasticity, so that the magnesium alloy has high strength, high plasticity and high thermal conductivity at room temperature. Specifically, the present invention adds RE elements with a total content not exceeding 3%, making the RE elements more inclined to segregate along the grain boundaries to form segregation strengthening. On the one hand, it can purify the Mg matrix, which is beneficial to the synchronous improvement of strength and thermal conductivity. On the other hand, it can refine the casting structure, that is, the segregation of RE elements along the grain boundaries will preferentially consume the internal energy and mechanical energy during the preparation process, successfully inhibiting the nucleation and coarsening of the MgAl phase, and not affecting the fluidity of the melt during the casting process, significantly improving the strength and plasticity of the magnesium alloy. In addition, for the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention, adding 0 to 0.2% of Mn elements can avoid the generation of irregularly shaped brittle AlMn phases and their damage to plasticity. The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention has good melt fluidity and strong filling property, is suitable for high-pressure casting, and can be applied to transportation tools such as new energy vehicles; at the same time, the present invention reduces the total content of RE, not only saving rare earth resources, but also avoiding increasing the weight of the magnesium alloy, and can give full play to the lightweight advantage of the magnesium alloy. The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention has a room-temperature yield strength ≥ 200 MPa, a tensile strength ≥ 280 MPa, an elongation ≥ 20%, and a thermal conductivity ≥ 110 W / (m·K).
[0034] (2) For the high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention, by optimizing the volume percentage of the MgAl phase ≤ 10% and the size of the MgAl phase ≤ 100 nm, reducing the number and size of the MgAl phase can reduce the stress concentration of the basal plane dislocations at the incoherent precipitation phases, which is beneficial to improving the plasticity of the magnesium alloy.
[0035] (3) The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention further adds 0-1% of Zn element and 0.2%-0.5% of Cu element. Adding a low content of 0-1% of Zn element easily makes Zn and RE elements attract each other and co-segregate at the grain boundary, further enhancing grain boundary strengthening; adding 0.2%-0.5% of Cu element can promote the formation of MgRECu phase (bamboo-shaped ternary precipitation phase) by Cu and the remaining solute atoms in the crystal, purifying the matrix and improving the thermal conductivity. On the contrary, if the Cu content is continuously increased to more than 0.5%, it is easy to generate MgCu binary brittle phase, damaging plasticity.
[0036] (4) The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention further adds 1%-3% of Zn element and 0-0.2% of Cu element. Adding a low content of 0-0.2% of Cu element can attract each other with RE element and co-segregate at the grain boundary, further enhancing grain boundary strengthening; adding a moderate content of 1%-3% of Zn element can induce the formation of fine disk-shaped MgZn phase (binary precipitation phase). According to the Orowan mechanism, the smaller the size of the precipitation phase, the better the precipitation strengthening effect, and the limited damage to plasticity. At the same time, it can also purify the matrix and improve the thermal conductivity. On the contrary, if the Zn content is continuously increased to more than 3%, it is easy to generate long rod-shaped MgZn binary phase perpendicular to the basal plane, tangling with the basal plane dislocations and thus damaging plasticity.
[0037] (5) The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention further adds 0-0.5% of Ca element or 0-0.5% of Zr element. Adding a small amount of Ca or Zr can refine the casting structure, improve the strength, and have little influence on plasticity and thermal conductivity; on the contrary, if a large amount of Ca or Zr is added, it is extremely easy to reduce the melt fluidity during the casting process and form irregularly shaped AlCa phase or AlZr phase with Al element, seriously damaging plasticity.
[0038] (6) The high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy of the present invention further adds a total content of 0-0.5% of La element and / or Ce element. Adding a small amount of La or Ce can refine the casting structure, improve the strength, and have little influence on plasticity and thermal conductivity; on the contrary, if a large amount of La or Ce is added, it is extremely easy to reduce the melt fluidity during the casting process and form irregularly shaped AlLa phase or AlCe phase with Al element, seriously damaging plasticity.
[0039] (7) The present invention also correspondingly provides a preparation method of a high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy. First, melting and casting are carried out at 680°C to 750°C, which can ensure that all raw materials are completely melted, evenly mixed and have a low burn-off rate, reducing the loss of raw materials and the deviation of components; then, high-temperature short-time solution treatment is carried out at 400°C to 460°C for 2h to 24h. The high-temperature solution treatment makes all the added elements exist in the form of solution atoms, reducing the impurities inside the magnesium alloy, and the short-time solution treatment can avoid grain coarsening and texture strengthening; then, aging treatment is carried out at 160°C to 240°C for 6h to 48h. Due to the relatively high aging temperature and short time, the precipitated phases will not rapidly coarsen during subsequent aging, and the plasticity of the magnesium alloy can be avoided from being damaged.
[0040] (8) In the preparation method of the present invention, when the magnesium alloy further contains 0 to 1% of Zn element and 0.2% to 0.5% of Cu element, the optimized aging treatment temperature is 200°C to 240°C and the time is 6h to 24h. The high-temperature short-time aging treatment can prevent the coarsening of the MgRECu ternary phase, and at the same time can save the preparation time and energy consumption; when the magnesium alloy further contains 1% to 3% of Zn element and 0 to 0.2% of Cu element, the optimized aging treatment temperature is 160°C to 200°C and the time is 24h to 48h. The low-temperature long-time aging treatment can make the moderately contained Zn element fully precipitate, which is more beneficial to improving the thermal conductivity.
[0041] (9) The present invention also correspondingly provides a preparation method of a high-strength, high-plasticity and high-thermal-conductivity magnesium alloy, adopting a "high-pressure casting + heat preservation" system. On the one hand, it can promote the more sufficient aggregation of RE elements at the grain boundaries, which is beneficial to simultaneously enhancing the segregation strengthening effect and improving the purity of the matrix, and realizing high strength and high thermal conductivity characteristics; on the other hand, it can improve the melt fluidity, the dimensional accuracy, the surface finish and the tissue compactness of the casting product during the casting process, and it is easier to obtain a magnesium alloy with both high strength, high plasticity and high thermal conductivity.
[0042] (10) In the preparation method of the present invention, by optimizing the melting and casting, that is, high-pressure casting is carried out at 700°C to 750°C for 5s to 30s, and then heat preservation is carried out at 200°C to 240°C for 0 to 6h. The high-temperature short-time heat preservation treatment can not only accelerate the nucleation of the precipitated phase, but also prevent the coarsening of the precipitated phase, especially inhibit the generation and growth of the MgAl phase, and at the same time can save the preparation time and energy consumption.
