Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnesium alloy processing, specifically to high formability and stability magnesium alloys, preparation methods, and applications in thin-walled rotating parts. Background Technology
[0002] Thin-walled rotating components are urgently needed in the development of lightweight, high-performance, and high-reliability key components for seamless applications in aerospace, defense, and automotive fields. Magnesium alloys, as the lightest engineering structural metals with a density only 2 / 3 that of aluminum alloys, possess excellent specific strength, vibration damping, and heat dissipation, making them a preferred material for thin-walled rotating components. However, traditional commercial magnesium alloys exhibit poor stability in humid and high-temperature service environments, suffering from severe corrosion and violent combustion. Furthermore, their close-packed hexagonal crystal structure results in poor plasticity and low formability, making their extrusion, stamping, spinning, and rolling processes difficult to match those of aluminum alloys (e.g., magnesium alloys struggle to achieve extrusion speeds of ≥10 m / min, similar to aluminum alloys). Additionally, commercial AZ- or ZK-based magnesium alloy sheets exhibit a strong basal texture (strength ≥10 mrd), making them prone to cracking during the surface thinning deformation process for thin-walled rotating components. Therefore, traditional magnesium alloys cannot meet the stringent stability requirements of short-process, high-efficiency forming and flame-retardant corrosion resistance for thin-walled rotating components.
[0003] Current methods for improving the strength, plasticity, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, and formability of magnesium alloys can only address a single problem and cannot achieve a balance between any two or three properties. For example, high-alloy magnesium alloys with a large amount of flame-retardant precious metal elements (alloy content ≥9wt.%) can improve flame resistance, but at the same time, a large number of coarse cathode hard and brittle phases are formed in the matrix, resulting in a significant decrease in the alloy's corrosion resistance and formability. Alternatively, using a large amount of corrosion-resistant precious metal elements (≥4wt.%) in magnesium alloys can improve corrosion resistance, but it reduces flame retardancy and formability, and it is difficult to improve strength and plasticity simultaneously. In addition, during the extrusion deformation process of existing AZ-based or ZK-based commercial magnesium alloys, the low-melting-point Mg-Al or Mg-Zn phases in the magnesium matrix are prone to re-dissolution, leading to grain coarsening, sheet cracking, and surface defects such as overheating, wear, and peeling. It is necessary to reduce the extrusion speed (extrusion speed ≤1m / min) to ensure forming quality. In addition, commercial magnesium alloy extruded sheets are prone to strong basal texture and have extremely poor plasticity along the normal direction of the sheet surface. When the curved surface forming angle is too large during the later finishing process of preparing thin-walled rotary parts such as stamping and spinning (forming angle ≤30°), cracking is likely to occur. Moreover, due to the actual thickness of the extruded sheet, it is difficult to reduce the wall thickness during the forming process (generally the wall thickness ≥10mm). This results in the need for an additional rolling process before forming to obtain thin-walled rotary parts, making it difficult to achieve short-process and efficient forming of magnesium alloy thin-walled rotary parts.
[0004] Therefore, under the premise of ensuring high strength and plasticity, how to achieve short-process manufacturing, avoid cracking during forming, reduce the overall raw material content and the total content of precious metals to save costs, while improving the machinability and service stability of magnesium alloys, and obtaining high strength, high plasticity, high melting point and high corrosion resistance, as well as magnesium alloy thin-walled rotating parts that can be formed in both thin and thick walls are the technical problems that urgently need to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-formability and stable magnesium alloy, the alloy composition by mass percentage being Al: 0.35-1.3%, Mn: 0.1-0.6%, Zn: 0.01-0.7%, Ca: 0.12-0.4%, Ce: 0-0.7%, Y: 0.01-0.3%, with unavoidable impurities ≤0.05%, and the remainder being Mg; wherein 0.5% ≤ the sum of Ca + Ce + Y components ≤1%, and 0.1 ≤ Ca / (Ce + Y) composition ratio ≤1.5; its preparation method includes the following steps: (1) Raw material preparation: Select and weigh pure Mg, pure Al, pure Zn, Mg-Mn, Mg-Ce, Mg-Ca and Mg-Y master alloy raw materials according to the mass percentages mentioned above; (2) Melting and casting: Under the protection of SF6 and CO2 mixed gas, the volume ratio of SF6 and CO2 is 1-10:90-99; pure Mg ingots are melted at 670-710℃, and then heated to 720-750℃, pure Al, pure Zn, Mg-Mn, Mg-Ce, Mg-Ca and Mg-Y master alloys are added; after heating and melting, the temperature is lowered to 670-720℃, and the mixture is stirred, refined and degassed, and allowed to stand to remove slag. Then, it is cast into magnesium alloy ingots by semi-continuous casting or manual casting. (3) The magnesium alloy ingot obtained in step (2) is subjected to step homogenization treatment and quenching under argon or nitrogen protection to obtain a homogeneous alloy ingot. The step homogenization treatment is as follows: heat treatment at 300-340℃ for 1-4 hours, heat treatment at 400-440℃ for 2-6 hours, and then heat treatment at 480-530℃ for 0.5-5 hours. (4) The homogeneous alloy ingot obtained in step (3) is subjected to rapid extrusion deformation at 350-480℃, followed by double-stage heat treatment under argon or nitrogen protection to obtain a high-formability and stable magnesium alloy. The rapid extrusion deformation has an extrusion ratio of 15-100:1 and an extrusion speed of 2-85 m / min. The double-stage heat treatment involves holding at 450-520℃ for 0.5-4 hours, followed by quenching, and then holding at 170-220℃ for 0.5-4 hours. The high-formability and stable magnesium alloy has a weak basal texture with a texture strength ≤6 mrd, an average grain size ≤25 micrometers, an ignition point ≥900℃, and a corrosion rate ≤0.2 mm / year or ≤0.1 mg / cm after immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution for 7 days. 2 / day, and maintains high strength and plasticity.
[0006] Furthermore, the alloy composition by mass percentage is: Mn: 0.35-0.5%, Y: 0.05-0.18%, Ce: 0.15-0.5%.
[0007] Further, the step homogenization process described in step (3) involves holding the temperature at 310-330℃ for 2-3 hours, at 410-430℃ for 3-5 hours, and then at 490-520℃ for 2-4 hours.
[0008] Further, the rapid extrusion deformation described in step (4) is as follows: the extrusion ratio is 30-90:1 and the extrusion speed is 65-80m / min; the two-stage heat treatment is as follows: after holding at 480-510℃ for 1-2 hours, the heat is quenched and then held at 180-210℃ for 1-3 hours.
[0009] Furthermore, the rapid extrusion deformation described in step (4) has an extrusion speed of 5-64 m / min.
[0010] Furthermore, the high formability and stability magnesium alloy described in step (4) has a weak basal texture with a texture strength of 3-5 mrd, an average grain size of 3-10 micrometers, an ignition point of 920℃ ≤ 970℃, and a corrosion rate of ≤ 0.1 mm / year or ≤ 0.05 mg / cm² after immersion in 3.5% NaCl solution for 7 days. 2 / day.
[0011] This invention also provides the application of high-formability and stable magnesium alloys in the preparation of thin-walled rotating parts. The preparation method mainly includes: stamping or spinning the high-formability and stable magnesium alloy along the normal direction of the extrusion surface at 300-420℃ to obtain a thin-walled rotating part. The stamping process involves: stamping speed 5-50 mm / s, die temperature 230-350℃, blank holder force 1-10 kN, and forming angle ≤90°. The spinning process involves: mandrel temperature 230-350℃, spindle speed 100-600 r / min, feed speed 0.1-1 mm / r, and forming angle ≤80°. The resulting thin-walled rotating part has no surface cracks and can be either thin-walled or thick-walled, with a wall thickness range of 1-10 mm or >10 mm. While maintaining high strength and plasticity, the alloy also possesses high flame retardancy and corrosion resistance, meeting the stringent service stability requirements for flame retardancy and corrosion resistance.
[0012] Existing magnesium alloys typically require the addition of large amounts of flame-retardant and corrosion-resistant precious metals to improve service stability, with the total content of various alloying elements ≥9 wt.%, of which precious metals account for ≥4 wt.%, resulting in high alloy preparation costs. Furthermore, the addition of large amounts of flame-retardant and precious elements to the magnesium matrix easily forms a large number of coarse eutectic phases, reducing the formability of magnesium alloys. Traditional manufacturing processes can only perform casting, resulting in numerous casting defects, and cannot perform rapid extrusion, stamping, or spinning, hindering the short-process, efficient production of high-quality, defect-free magnesium alloy components. In addition, current... Extruded magnesium alloys (such as commercial AZ31) have a strong basal texture, and their grains tend to coarsen after high-temperature heat treatment, resulting in very poor formability. They are prone to cracking during subsequent spinning / stamping finishing processes, especially for thick plates (wall thickness > 10 mm). Cracks are inevitable during the spinning thinning process, making it impossible to spin-thin thick-walled alloy components to prepare rotating parts (wall thickness ≤ 10 mm). Existing traditional commercial wrought magnesium alloys cannot meet the forming requirements of thin-walled rotating parts while ensuring high strength or plasticity, and it is even more difficult to simultaneously possess excellent corrosion resistance or flame resistance.
[0013] This invention reduces the total alloying elements and precious metal content to lower alloy costs. It employs multi-element interactions, precise proportion adjustments, and synergistic control of processes and parameters to effectively reduce the size and volume fraction of the eutectic phase in the magnesium matrix. This allows for the full resolvation of the eutectic phase, resulting in excellent formability. Simultaneously, it overcomes the technical bottlenecks of Mg-Al and Mg-Zn phases causing cracking in magnesium alloys and Mg-RE phases reducing extrusion speed. This includes the ability to perform both fast and slow extrusion forming, with fast extrusion speeds reaching more than 10 times that of traditional magnesium alloys. It effectively solves the problems of surface overheating, wear, peeling, and decreased mechanical properties caused by poor magnesium alloy formability during high-speed extrusion, as well as the formation of easily resolvable low-to-medium melting point Mg-Al and Mg-Zn phases (this invention avoids the formation of low-to-medium melting point Mg-Al and Mg-Zn phases). The melting point of the Mg-Al and Mg-Zn phases leads to surface defects such as cracks, resulting in a decline in mechanical properties. Simultaneously, this invention reduces heat treatment temperature and time, eliminating the need for prolonged high-temperature treatment, allowing the fine eutectic phases to completely dissolve back into the magnesium matrix. Furthermore, through the synergistic control of multi-element microalloying interactions, effective adjustment of proportions, specific element ratios, and optimization of preparation processes and parameters, the magnesium alloy obtained by this invention not only weakens galvanic corrosion induced by the cathodic phase in the matrix, forms a weak basal texture, and refines grains, resulting in a magnesium alloy with a weak basal texture strength ≤6 mrd and an average grain size ≤25 micrometers, but also forms a dense surface oxide film to hinder combustion, ultimately achieving excellent corrosion resistance (corrosion rate ≤0.2 mm / year or ≤0.1 mg / cm²). 2 The magnesium alloy of this invention exhibits high flame retardancy (ignition point ≥900℃) and high heat resistance ( / day). Through the co-segregation of solute elements at grain boundaries and the pinning effect of high-density, high-melting-point nanoparticles on grain boundaries, the microstructure of the magnesium alloy has thermally stable fine grains and weak texture. It can be used to prepare thin-walled rotating parts by stamping or spinning in the later stage (thinning can be carried out with a wall thickness ≤10mm or >10mm without cracking). It can also ensure that the alloy has high strength and plasticity, as well as high flame retardancy and corrosion resistance, meeting the stringent service stability requirements of flame retardancy and corrosion resistance.
[0014] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this invention achieves lower raw material costs, simplified processes, faster production speed and higher production efficiency through the synergistic control of component interactions, specific element ratios, processes and process parameters. While ensuring the excellent strength and plasticity of the alloy, it avoids forming cracks and can quickly prepare high-formability magnesium alloys suitable for forming thin-walled rotary parts (the initial sheet can be either thick-walled or thin-walled) and with high corrosion resistance and high flame resistance. It can achieve high-speed extrusion process parameters and short-process processing that are far superior to existing technologies, making it suitable for mass industrial production and offering significant advantages such as long service life and high safety.

Comparative Example 1
[0039] Source: Materials, 2022 15(5) 1622, Authors: Guonan Liu et al., Title: “Comparison of Corrosion Performance of Extruded and Forged WE43 Mg Alloy”. The article reports a corrosion-resistant extruded magnesium alloy of Mg-1.55Gd-3.79Y-2.43Nd-0.5Zr (wt.%). The alloy composition is as follows: 1.55wt% Gd, 3.79wt% Y, 2.43wt% Nd, 0.5wt% Zr, with the remainder being Mg. Preparation process: casting, solution treatment (525℃-2h), extrusion (extrusion temperature 400℃, extrusion ratio 40:1, extrusion speed 24mm / min). Corrosion rate of the alloy: 0.6mm / year.
[0040] Compared with the present invention, Comparative Example 1 uses a large amount of expensive rare earth elements (Nd, Gd, Y, accounting for 7.77 wt.%). The total addition content and rare earth content of the alloy in Comparative Example 1 are much higher than the maximum addition amount of the alloy in the present invention. Therefore, the production cost of Comparative Example 1 is much higher than that of the present invention. In addition, the extrusion ratio of the alloy in Comparative Example 1 is small (40:1) and the extrusion speed is slow (24 mm / min). Due to the slow extrusion speed of the alloy in Comparative Example 1, the formability is low. It also does not provide a technical solution that can achieve the thin-walled rotating parts obtained by stamping or spinning along the normal direction of the extrusion surface at temperatures above 300°C as in the present invention. According to existing technology reports, the corrosion rate and corrosion resistance are inversely proportional. That is, the higher the corrosion rate, the worse the corrosion resistance. The comparison results show that the best corrosion resistance of the alloy obtained in Comparative Example 1 (corrosion rate 0.6 mm / year) is significantly weaker than the worst corrosion resistance of the present invention (corrosion rate ≤ 0.2 mm / year).

[0041] Source: Metals, 2020 10(11) 1522, Authors: Chenxi Yang et al., Title: “Effect of Microstructure on Corrosion Behavior of WE43 Magnesium Alloy in As Cast and Heat-Treated Conditions”. The article reports a Mg-4.3Y-3.4(Gd, Nd)-0.4Zr (wt.%) wrought corrosion-resistant magnesium alloy. The alloy composition is as follows: 4.3wt% Y, 3.4wt% mixed (Gd, Nd) rare earth elements, 0.4wt% Zr, and the remainder is Mg. Preparation process: casting, rolling at 525℃, and aging heat treatment at 210℃ for 48h. Corrosion performance: corrosion rate 0.88mg / cm2 / day.
[0042] Compared to this invention, the magnesium alloy of Comparative Example 2 contains a high content of rare earth elements (total rare earth element content reaches 7.7 wt.%), belonging to a high rare earth magnesium alloy system, and its raw material cost is much higher than that of this invention. Furthermore, the magnesium alloy of Comparative Example 2 has poor formability, requiring rolling deformation at a high temperature of 525°C, which is far higher than the maximum extrusion deformation temperature of this invention (extrusion deformation at 350-480°C). The alloy of Comparative Example 2, after rolling deformation, does not provide a technical solution that can achieve the thin-walled rotating parts obtained by stamping or spinning along the normal direction of the extrusion surface at temperatures exceeding 300°C as in this invention. However, the result is the lowest corrosion resistance of this invention (≤0.1 mg / cm³). 2 / day) is far superior to the best corrosion resistance of the comparative magnesium alloy (0.88mg / cm). 2 / day).
[0043] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this invention reduces the total amount of alloy or precious metals added, simplifies the process, and employs process parameters such as rapid extrusion that are far higher than those in existing technologies (breaking through the technical bottleneck of adding rare earth elements to reduce alloy extrusion speed). It also effectively solves the problems of cracking of the sheet metal and surface defects such as overheating, wear, and peeling caused by the presence of Mg-Al or Mg-Zn phases. Through the interaction of components, effective control of component ratios, and synergistic control of processes and process parameters, it optimizes the microstructure by weakening cathodic phase corrosion, refining grain size, weakening basal texture, and densifying the oxide film. This achieves co-segregation of solute elements at grain boundaries and pinning of grain boundaries by high-density, high-melting-point nanoparticles. Even during rapid extrusion and large-angle bending deformation, it effectively avoids the occurrence of magnesium alloy cracks and increases the extrusion speed (10 times that of traditional magnesium alloys). The above-mentioned invention enables the subsequent precision machining of thin-walled rotating parts, meaning that without any cracking, it can directly obtain thin-walled or thick-walled parts, or thin-walled parts can be obtained by reducing the thickness of thick-walled materials. While ensuring the high strength and plasticity of the alloy, it simultaneously improves the comprehensive properties of magnesium alloys, such as processability, flame resistance, and corrosion resistance. It has prospects for industrial production and breaks through the technical bottleneck that it is difficult to simultaneously improve the properties of any two or three alloys in existing technologies. In addition, the proportions and process parameters used in each embodiment of the present invention are different, but the material properties obtained are different. This shows that the excellent effect obtained by the present invention is not determined by a certain component, proportion, process, or process parameter, but is achieved through the interaction of components, the synergistic regulation of proportion, process, and process parameters. Moreover, the best technical effect can only be achieved within the scope of the claims.
