压铸镁合金中混合稀土加入方法研究
摘要
研究在压铸镁合金AZ91D中添加混合稀土的两种方法的熔解方式及收得率
包括直接添加和以中间合金方式添加混合稀土。结果表明
直接添加混合稀土时
在压铸工艺通常采用的镁合金熔炼温度下
稀土元素只能通过化学反应的方式扩散到熔液中
30min内收得率低于50%而且未完全熔解。采用先铸造后挤压的方式制备了镁基混合稀土中间合金
金相分析及TG-DSC分析表明形成种类较多、晶粒细小的Mg-RE金属间化合物
其熔点范围跨越了压铸温度
熔解速度较快。以挤压态镁基混合稀土中间合金方式添加混合稀土
在实验室中用井式坩埚炉在熔炼温度720℃时
30min内收得率可以达到95%;在工业用的压铸条件下
收得率达到80%
稀土元素能够较好地合金化
形成Al-RE化合物。
Abstract
The joined technique of dollop-like mischmetal and extruded Mg-mischmetal intermediate alloy in die casting Magnesium alloy AZ91D was investigated. Mischmetal absorptivity in Mg alloys was calculated. The results showed that the absorptivity of mischmetal achieved less than 50% within 30 min when mischmetal was added by dollop-like under conventional cold chamber die casting condition because the melting point of rare earth element exceeded the remelting temperature of die casting magnesium. The Mg-MM intermediate alloy was prepared by permanent mold casting and then was extruded into the bars. The microstructure and analytical studies were carried out using optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Testing results shows the Mg-MM intermediate alloy could melt easily down at die casting temperature for RE containing Mg phase with lower melting point was formed and the mischmetal absorptivity was around 95% in laboratory. Then magnesium alloy test bars were produced under conventional cold chamber die casting condition with addition of extruded Mg-MM intermediate alloy and the mischmetal absorptivity was around 80%. Observation and analysis indicated that the microstructures of the alloy were refined and RE containing Al phase was formed.
