Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallic materials science and engineering, specifically relating to a creep-resistant, high elastic modulus, and high damping magnesium alloy and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium alloys, due to their low density (about 1 / 4 that of steel and 2 / 3 that of aluminum), high specific strength and specific stiffness, good damping and electromagnetic shielding performance, and relatively abundant resources, have shown significant lightweighting potential in aerospace, transportation, electronic structural components, and precision equipment, and are regarded as important candidate materials for energy conservation, emission reduction and structural integration. At present, it is relatively easy to improve the single performance of magnesium alloys (such as strength or formability), but there is still a lack of systematic design path for the simultaneous improvement of the three aspects of "high temperature creep resistance, room temperature elastic modulus and damping performance". After years of development, compared with mature systems such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys are still at a disadvantage in terms of high temperature stability and multi-performance synergy, and large-scale application is constrained by a series of technical bottlenecks: (1) The performance is highly sensitive to temperature. Traditional Mg-Al system (AZ / AM) has poor thermal stability above 120-150℃ and is prone to coarsening / softening. Grades such as WE43 and ZM6 often have creep rates of 10 at 250℃ / 100 MPa. -6 -10 -7 s -1 (1) The range is insufficient to meet the requirements for higher service temperatures and low-speed creep; (2) The improvement of elastic modulus and damping is limited. The room temperature Young's modulus of commercial AZ-series and WE-series magnesium alloys is concentrated in 40-46 GPa, and the damping Q is limited. -1 (Strain amplitude approximately 0.1%) is typically <0.020, and even after optimization with elements such as Ca / Gd or hot deformation, the improvement in Young's modulus remains limited. Furthermore, high modulus is often accompanied by a decrease in damping performance (Q). -1 ≈0.010–0.013); (3) The mutual exclusion / dependency rules are not systematic. Microalloying elements (Mn, Bi, Ca, Ag, Cu, etc.) can be finely adjusted for creep, modulus and damping, but non-target coarse precipitation or microstructure instability is likely to occur; (4) The process path and composition are weakly coupled, and the direction of microstructure and performance evolution cannot be locked in the design stage. Therefore, it is necessary to find a magnesium alloy with excellent high-temperature creep resistance, high elastic modulus and excellent damping performance, so that it can be used in aerospace, precision instruments, transportation, 3C electronics and other fields. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a creep-resistant, high elastic modulus, and high damping magnesium alloy and its preparation method.

[0013] As a general technical concept, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned creep-resistant, high-elasticity modulus, high-damping magnesium alloy, wherein the method comprises the following steps when the mixing enthalpy of the creep-resistant, high-elasticity modulus, high-damping magnesium alloy is -0.35 kJ / mol ≤ ΔH ≤ -0.2 kJ / mol: S1-3. Weigh the required raw materials according to the mass percentage of each component in the magnesium alloy, and then melt and cast them to obtain ingots. S2-3. Perform graded heat treatment on the ingot; the graded heat treatment is as follows: hold at 470℃~480℃ for 1.5h~3h, and then hold at 500℃~530℃ for 0.5h~1.5h. S3-3. The material after graded heat treatment is extruded and deformed to obtain a high-elasticity, high-damping magnesium alloy with creep resistance; the extrusion and deformation temperature is 350℃~420℃, the extrusion speed is 0.01mm / s~10mm / s, and the cooling rate is 0.01℃ / s~1℃ / s.
[0014] In the creep-resistant, high-elastic modulus, and high-damping magnesium alloy of the present invention, the enthalpy of mixing ΔH is calculated by the Miedema method, the DFT method, or the CALPHAD method, or by weighting the calculation according to the atomic fraction (i.e., the mass percentage of each component) of the magnesium alloy.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: (1) This invention proposes a high-elasticity, high-damping magnesium alloy with high creep resistance. By controlling the content of Zn, Ni, Cu, Mn, Gd, Yb, and HRE elements, the magnesium alloy can be ensured to have both high elastic modulus and excellent creep resistance. By limiting ΣTM / ΣRE to 0.20-0.32, the reduction of high-damping LPSO phase and the precipitation of non-target phases (i.e., low-damping brittle phases) can be avoided, thus preventing a significant decrease in the damping performance of the magnesium alloy. By limiting the content of Gd element to ≥30% ΣRE and the content of Zn element to ≥60% ΣTM, the LPSO content can be guaranteed. The thermal stability of the SO phase enhances the creep resistance of magnesium alloys. By limiting the Yb content to ≥20% ΣRE, the LPSO phase can be softened, thereby improving the damping properties of the magnesium alloy. By limiting the mixing enthalpy ΔH of the magnesium alloy to -1.1 kJ / mol to -0.2 kJ / mol, the overall thermal stability of the magnesium alloy can be moderate, giving it high creep resistance, high modulus, and high damping characteristics. If the mixing enthalpy is too low, the alloy system will be too stable and hard, making internal friction difficult and unable to achieve high damping. If the mixing enthalpy is too high, the alloy system cannot achieve high creep resistance and high Young's modulus. The creep-resistant, high elastic modulus, and high damping magnesium alloy of this invention is suitable for aerospace, precision instruments, transportation, 3C electronics, and other fields, such as high-modulus lightweight structures, thermally stable and damping support components, vibration reduction and noise reduction components, and high-rigidity thin-walled shells, and has significant technical and economic value.
[0016] (2) The creep-resistant, high elastic modulus, and high damping magnesium alloy of the present invention also contains one or more of Ag, Ca, and Bi elements, which can finely adjust the creep / damping balance while maintaining the main performance. Specifically, Ag, Ca, and Bi elements all have the effect of reducing the mixing enthalpy and improving the thermal stability of the magnesium alloy. Ca and Ag elements have the effect of refining the Zn-containing precipitates, which can ensure the high damping of the magnesium alloy while taking into account its creep resistance and elastic modulus improvement. In addition, when Bi element is added, the coexistence of Bi and Ni elements is more conducive to the formation of LPSO phase and the occurrence of eutectic segregation phenomenon, further improving the damping performance of the magnesium alloy.
[0017] (3) The present invention also provides a method for preparing a high-toughness soluble magnesium alloy. The "graded heat treatment + extrusion deformation process" is directly related to the mixing enthalpy ΔH. The graded heat treatment can avoid overheating of the heat-sensitive phase in the as-cast structure, sufficient dissolution of the eutectic phase, and sufficient dynamic precipitation during the final extrusion and cooling process. At the same time, the alloy with a large absolute value of mixing enthalpy adopts a more complex graded process. This is because the alloy itself has a higher volume fraction of heat-sensitive phase, and also to ensure that the harder brittle phase in the alloy can be fully dissolved, thus avoiding cracking during the subsequent preparation process.

In the magnesium alloy prepared in Comparative Example 5, the insufficient Yb content makes LPSO too hard, which is detrimental to damping internal friction and leads to Q... -1 The minimum creep rate is 0.0179, indicating unsatisfactory damping performance. In the magnesium alloy prepared in Comparative Example 6, the excessively low Zn ratio inhibited the formation of the LPSO phase and promoted the precipitation of other harmful phases, resulting in a minimum creep rate of 1.3 × 10⁻⁶ for this magnesium alloy. -7 s -1 Q -1The coefficient of performance (Q) is 0.0156, indicating unsatisfactory creep resistance and damping performance.
