The invention discloses a
La element reinforced
rare earth magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of
metal material manufacturing, and the preparation method comprises the steps that La2O3 particles and an
organic solvent are mixed to prepare La2O3 turbid liquid;
coating the La2O3 suspension on the surface of the
rare earth magnesium alloy wire, and
drying to obtain the
rare earth magnesium alloy wire with La2O3 particles attached on the surface; the rare earth
magnesium alloy wire with the La2O3 particles attached to the surface serves as a
raw material for additive manufacturing, layer-by-layer deposition is carried out through an
electric arc fuse additive manufacturing process, in the
deposition process, the wire is molten through an
electric arc heat source to form molten drops and a
molten pool, and under the high-temperature effect of an
electric arc, the La2O3 particles and liquid magnesium are subjected to an in-situ reaction, so that the rare earth
magnesium alloy is obtained. The decomposed
La element is fused into an original rare earth
magnesium alloy system; and after deposition is completed, the
La element reinforced rare earth magnesium
alloy deposition state component is obtained. By means of the method, the room-temperature and high-temperature mechanical properties of the rare earth magnesium alloy can be effectively enhanced, the process is simple and universal, and industrialization is easy.
