The invention relates to a lanthanon Y which is utilized to strengthen
magnesium alloy effectively and a preparation technology thereof, in particular to a
quasicrystal phase which is utilized to strengthen Mg-Zn-Y-Zr
magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof, and the problems such as
magnesium alloy strengthening, etc. are solved. On the premise of definite Y contents, the
volume percentage of the
quasicrystal phase which is led into a
magnesium alloy matrix to reach the maximum through reasonably choosing the rate between Zn and Y in the alloy (the rate between Zn and Y ranges from 6 to 15), so as to prepare the Mg-Zn-Y-Zr
magnesium alloy with
low density, high strength and better
plasticity. The
magnesium alloy material has the components and the contents thereof as follows: the content of
zinc (Zn) ranges from 5 to 30 percent; the content of
yttrium (Y) ranges from 0.5 to 5 percent; the content of
zirconium (Zr) ranges from 0.3 to 0.8 percent, and the others are magnesium (Mg); all the percentage are weight percentage. The magnesium alloy material are processed through alloy melting and subsequent hot
extrusion processing and deformed into products, and the operation of the
processing technology is simple and convenient. The tensile strength of the material satisfies that Sigma (b) ranges from 290 to 360MPa, the yield stress
delta0.2 ranges from 175 to 260MPa, the unit extension
Delta ranges from 10 to 18 percent, and the density is 1.84 to 2.73g / cm<3>.
