Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal material preparation and plastic processing technology, and in particular to a magnesium alloy fine wire with both high strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium and magnesium alloys, as one of the lightest engineering structural materials, have low density, high specific strength and specific stiffness, good damping performance, as well as excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, electromagnetic shielding ability and machinability. They show broad application prospects in aerospace, automotive industry, 3C electronic products, biomedicine and energy equipment.
[0003] However, the inherent hexagonal close-packed crystal structure of magnesium alloys limits the number of slip systems that can be activated at room temperature, resulting in poor plastic forming ability, especially when fabricating complex shapes or micro-section components. Currently, magnesium alloy profiles are mainly in the form of bars, plates, and tubes, and their production processes are relatively mature. In contrast, the fabrication of fine filaments (typically less than 2 mm in diameter) faces severe challenges due to the extensive deformation required: insufficient room-temperature plasticity makes continuous filament forming difficult, and the surface is prone to oxidation; high thermal conductivity induces significant thermal stress during hot working, increasing the risk of cracking and filament breakage; improper control of forming temperature can easily lead to grain coarsening, significant texture, and internal defects, severely impairing the material's strength and plasticity and exacerbating the anisotropy of mechanical properties. Furthermore, the presence of microstructure inhomogeneity and residual stress can induce localized galvanic corrosion, further deteriorating its corrosion resistance.
[0004] To improve the overall performance of magnesium alloys, approaches are typically taken from two aspects: alloying design and process control. Regarding alloying, Al (Al) has excellent solid solution and precipitation strengthening effects in magnesium and is a commonly used alloying element. Rare earth (RE) elements such as La, Gd, Y, and Nd can enhance mechanical properties and improve surface film stability through solid solution and aging strengthening mechanisms, thereby increasing corrosion resistance. However, high alloying content not only increases costs but also easily leads to compositional segregation and the formation of a large amount of second phase, increasing deformation resistance and causing uneven microstructure, which is detrimental to the precision forming of wires.
[0005] In recent years, in the pursuit of high-performance, special-functional materials, the concept of multi-component microalloying, which synergistically modulates the properties of various trace solute components, has developed rapidly. This concept differs from the traditional high-content single-component alloying approach, instead achieving wide-range, precise control of microstructure and properties through the synergistic addition of multiple trace elements. This significantly improves material performance while effectively controlling costs. This provides new theoretical support for the compositional design of magnesium alloys that possess high strength, plasticity, corrosion resistance, and suitability for fine wire forming. Nevertheless, the preparation of magnesium alloy wires still faces a series of technological challenges: hot extrusion can exacerbate cracking due to microstructure inhomogeneity; the narrow hot working window is extremely sensitive to temperature fluctuations—too low a temperature results in insufficient plasticity, while too high a temperature leads to grain boundary embrittlement; during fine wire forming, the small cross-section and large die contact area result in significant frictional heat generation and temperature drop effects, often leading to breakage, surface cracks, and loss of dimensional accuracy. Therefore, how to achieve efficient and stable preparation of high-performance magnesium alloy fine wires through synergistic innovation in composition and process remains a key technological bottleneck that urgently needs to be overcome in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a magnesium alloy filament material with both high strength and plasticity and corrosion resistance, and a method for preparing the same.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0008] One of the technical solutions of this invention is a magnesium alloy fine wire with high strength, plasticity and corrosion resistance, which comprises the following components by weight percentage: Al 1.3%~1.8%, Mn 0.5%~0.9%, La 0.7%~1.1%, Nd 0.7%~1.1%, and the balance being Mg.
[0009] Preferably, the diameter of the magnesium alloy filament is 1~2 mm.
[0010] The second technical solution of the present invention is a method for preparing the above-mentioned magnesium alloy fine wire with both high strength and corrosion resistance, comprising the following steps:
[0011] S1. Prepare the ingredients, then melt the prepared ingredients to obtain a melt;
[0012] S2. Refine the melt, then let it stand to remove slag, and then let it stand until the temperature drops to the casting temperature, then cast to obtain an alloy ingot;
[0013] S3. The alloy ingot is homogenized and then processed into a billet;
[0014] S4. The billet is subjected to gradient heating to increase the temperature. After reaching the extrusion temperature, it is extruded once to obtain the magnesium alloy fine wire.
[0015] The gradient heating process is as follows: the temperature is increased from room temperature to 300 ℃ at a heating rate of 10 K / min, then increased to 300~450 ℃ at a heating rate of 5 K / min, and finally increased to 450~500 ℃ at a heating rate of 3 K / min, and held at 500 ℃ for 20 min. The temperature error range is ±5 ℃.
[0016] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:
[0017] This invention systematically solves the problem of preparing high-performance magnesium alloy fine wires through synergistic innovation in composition design and forming process: On the one hand, based on the theory of multi-element microalloying, a new alloy system with high strength, plasticity, corrosion resistance and good hot formability is constructed by adding trace amounts of elements such as Al, Mn, La and Nd; on the other hand, a single-pass hot extrusion process is innovatively adopted, and a gradient heating and precise temperature control strategy is introduced to make the processing temperature dynamically match the material microstructure evolution law, which not only broadens the narrow hot processing window of magnesium alloys, but also realizes the efficient and stable forming of fine wires with a diameter of 1~2mm, and finally obtains magnesium alloy fine wires with uniform microstructure, high surface quality, good dimensional accuracy, and high strength, high plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance.
[0018] This invention overcomes the problems of insufficient plasticity, high tendency to hot cracking, uneven microstructure leading to repeated drawing and annealing, narrow process window, easy wire breakage, and deterioration of corrosion resistance in the traditional preparation of magnesium alloy fine wires. The fine wire prepared by this invention has a uniform microstructure and good surface quality, while also possessing high strength, high plasticity, and excellent corrosion resistance. This product is suitable for aerospace, biomedical, precision electronics, and high-end equipment fields with stringent requirements for lightweight, toughness, and durability.
[0019] The magnesium alloy wire prepared by this invention has a tensile strength of up to 322.3 MPa and an elongation of up to 50%, which far exceeds the strength-plasticity matching of conventional magnesium alloy wires. After being immersed in Hank's solution, a simulated body fluid, for 14 days, the deepest corrosion pit on the surface of the wire can be controlled within about 12 μm, proving its excellent corrosion resistance.

[0087] In summary:
[0088] (1) The alloy of the present invention is based on Mg and is strengthened by adding trace amounts of Al, Mn, La and Nd elements in a synergistic manner, rather than by relying on high content and high cost of single rare earth elements. This design utilizes the synergistic effect of multiple components to refine the microstructure, weaken the texture, improve the strength and toughness and enhance the stability of the surface film. While significantly optimizing the overall performance of the material, it achieves good cost control and provides an ideal material basis for subsequent large deformation forming.
[0089] (2) To address the challenges of narrow hot working windows in magnesium alloys and the tendency for fine wires to break during traditional drawing, this invention abandons the multi-pass drawing process requiring frequent annealing. Instead, it employs a gradient heating strategy precisely matched to the alloy properties, directly forming the wires through single-pass hot extrusion with a large extrusion ratio (300:1~1200:1). This process significantly shortens the process time and improves efficiency. Furthermore, through precise control of parameters such as temperature and speed (e.g., reducing the extrusion speed as the alloy element content increases), it ensures the stability and surface quality of the forming process for fine wires with a diameter of 1~2mm.
[0090] (3) The results of the examples show that, through the synergistic optimization of the above-mentioned components and processes, the obtained wire has a uniform structure and few defects. Its tensile strength can reach up to 322.3 MPa, and its elongation can reach up to 50%, which far exceeds the strength-plasticity matching of conventional magnesium alloy wires and can meet the application scenarios with high requirements for load-bearing and deformation capacity.
[0091] (4) The addition of multiple trace elements effectively stabilized and strengthened the alloy surface film. Corrosion test results showed that after immersion in Hank's solution (simulating body fluid) for 14 days, the deepest corrosion pit on the surface of the wire could be controlled within approximately 12 μm, demonstrating its excellent corrosion resistance. This makes the wire a promising candidate for applications in fields with stringent requirements for corrosion resistance, such as biomedicine and marine environments.
[0092] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
