The invention relates to the technical field of
magnesium alloys, in particular to a low-density, high-modulus and ultrahigh-strength
magnesium-based
composite material and a preparation method thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that SiC reinforcement particles are pretreated; the raw materials are proportioned according to the
mass percent of the components of the
magnesium alloy; melting pure magnesium, sequentially adding
alloy elements, uniformly stirring, cooling to a semi-
solid temperature interval, adding the pretreated SiC reinforcement particles, and
casting in a preheating mold to solidify, so as to obtain a magnesium-based
composite material cast
ingot; the cast
ingot is sequentially subjected to
solution treatment and
extrusion forming; carrying out secondary
solution treatment on the magnesium-based
composite material bar subjected to
extrusion forming; and performing rotary
swaging deformation and intermediate annealing treatment on the magnesium-based composite material bar subjected to secondary
solution treatment to obtain the ultrahigh-strength magnesium-based composite material. Therefore, the problems that in the prior art,
magnesium alloy is insufficient in strength and modulus, a magnesium-based composite material easily generates
casting defects and is difficult to deform at
room temperature, and the performance of the material is weakened due to
grain growth during high-temperature deformation are solved.
