Purification and Homogenization of Semi-continuous AZ70 Magnesium Alloy
The conventional semi-continuous casting was optimized to improve the quality of Mg alloy billets
and the homogenization of magnesium alloy billets was described.The results reveal that the main alloy element and impurity Fe content meet the designed requirements without the introduction of new impurities after the processing optimization
purifying the magnesium alloy billets.The desirable homogenization parameters with holding at 400-430℃ for 10-15 h were obtained.The uniform microstructure in whole cross-section of AZ70 alloy billets with better mechanical properties and plasticity of 8.16% can be observed with homogenizing at 410℃ for 12 hours.
