The invention relates to the field of
metal materials, and provides a high-speed
extrusion low-alloying high-
toughness magnesium alloy and a preparation method thereof. The
alloy is prepared from the following components in percentage by
mass: 0.7 to 1.2 percent of
manganese, 0.2 to 0.8 percent of aluminum, 0.4 to 1.2 percent of
zinc, 0 to 0.25 percent of additive elements, less than or equal to 0.05 percent of inevitable impurities and the balance of
magnesium, the additive element is one or any combination of silver or
rare earth, the content of the silver is 0-0.25%, the content of the
rare earth is one or combination of
cerium or
scandium, the content of the
cerium is 0-0.25%, the content of the
scandium is 0-0.25%, and the total content of alloying elements in the
alloy system is less than 3.5%. The preparation method comprises the steps of
smelting, gravity
casting and high-speed
extrusion. The low-cost multi-element microalloyed
magnesium alloy is prepared, meanwhile, high-speed
extrusion forming of the alloy material is achieved, and long-time heat treatment is not needed before extrusion
machining. Wherein the extrusion speed reaches 12-60 m / min, the elongation of the
magnesium alloy profile is larger than or equal to 18%, the ratio of the yield strength to the total element content is larger than or equal to 132 MPa / wt.%, and compared with the prior art, the performance is remarkably improved.
