[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0016] An ultra-high surface hardness magnesium alloy comprises, by weight percentage, gadolinium: 15%, with the balance being magnesium and unavoidable impurity elements, the impurity element content being ≤0.1%.

[0017] It is worth mentioning that Gd has a large solid solubility in magnesium, and after solid solution treatment, it can form a supersaturated solid solution, which lays the foundation for subsequent aging precipitation strengthening. At the same time, the atomic radius of Gd is much different from that of Mg, which can produce a significant solid solution strengthening effect.

[0018] Example 1: A method for preparing an ultra-high surface hardness magnesium alloy, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Smelting of pure magnesium ingots and Mg-Gd master alloy; The composition of the magnesium alloy by weight percentage is: gadolinium: 15%, with the balance being magnesium and unavoidable impurity elements, the impurity element content being ≤0.1%. Weigh the pure magnesium ingots and Mg-Gd master alloy by weight percentage, and place the pure magnesium ingots and Mg-Gd master alloy in a graphite crucible. The purity of the pure magnesium ingots is ≥99.95%, with the balance being unavoidable impurity elements. The Gd content in the Mg-Gd master alloy is 30%, with the balance being magnesium and unavoidable impurity elements. Then it is placed in a vacuum induction melting furnace, the vacuum degree of which is ≤5×10⁻⁶. -3 Pa, protected by high-purity argon gas with a purity ≥99.99%; The vacuum induction melting temperature is 730℃, and the holding time is 35 minutes to completely melt the raw materials and stir them evenly. Then the melt is poured into a metal mold preheated to 220℃ and cooled to room temperature to obtain an alloy ingot. Step 2: Solution treatment of alloy ingot; The alloy ingot is kept at 510℃ for 10h to allow Gd to fully dissolve into the Mg matrix. Then the alloy ingot is water-cooled to room temperature to obtain a supersaturated solid solution and inhibit the premature precipitation of the strengthening phase. The alloy ingot is placed in a box-type resistance furnace for heat preservation, and then water-cooled to room temperature at a water cooling rate of ≥20℃ / s; Step 3, surface ultrasonic rolling; the surface of the solid solution treated alloy ingot is rolled by using an ultrasonic rolling equipment with a high-carbon chromium bearing steel rolling head; The ultrasonic frequency of the ultrasonic rolling equipment is 35 kHz, the rolling force is 140 N, the feeding speed is 1300 mm / min, and the rolling times is 10 times; It is worth mentioning that in the surface ultrasonic rolling, the surface is subjected to strong plastic deformation by ultrasonic rolling, the grains are refined to nanoscale, and residual compressive stress is introduced, so that the surface hardness is initially improved. Figure 1 As shown in the cross-sectional microstructure diagram of the magnesium alloy after surface ultrasonic rolling, it can be seen that nanocrystalline structure is formed in the surface layer after ultrasonic rolling.

[0019] Step 4, low-temperature aging treatment; the alloy ingot after ultrasonic rolling is placed in a low-temperature aging furnace for heat preservation at 100℃ for 24h, and then water-cooled to room temperature.

[0020] It is worth mentioning that in the low-temperature aging treatment process, the β' (Mg3Gd) strengthening phase is precipitated and dispersed in the supersaturated solid solution, which cooperates with the fine-grained structure formed by ultrasonic rolling to further improve the surface hardness.
