Background technology
MAGNESIUM METAL and alloy thereof have advantages such as low density, high specific strength and high specific stiffness, good damping shock absorption and thermal conductivity, the wrought magnesium alloys goods have higher intensity than casting magnesium alloy material, better ductility, more diversified mechanical property, can satisfy the needs of more structural parts, but wrought magnesium alloys apply the restriction that is subjected to its viscous deformation poor performance.Wrought magnesium alloys is to be obtained by casting, and alloy as-cast structure in castingprocesses produces component segregation because of nonequilibrium freezing, causes the ununiformity of tissue, causes alloy deformability in the course of processing poor.Studies show that,, can improve the hot-workability of wrought magnesium alloys and the room-temperature mechanical property of goods by the as-cast structure of refinement alloy and the segregation that reduces tissue and composition.

Embodiment
Melt Overheating Treatment is a kind of basic skills of refinement alloy graining tissue, is that alloy liquid is superheated to temperature certain more than the liquidus temperature, is cooled to teeming temperature again after insulation for some time and pours into a mould.By discovering to iron-based, aluminium base and nickel-base alloy, alloy liquid is superheated to certain temperature, the many short range order atomic radicals that in low-temperature melt, contain, in the hyperthermia and superheating melt, present a kind of state of disarray, this unordered atomic radical carries out reverse transformation in cool down very slow, when solidifying, remain in the solid-state structure easily, thus the as-cast structure of refinement alloy.To the Al-Si alloy, the obvious refinement of Melt Overheating Treatment the size of primary silicon; To studies show that of M963 alloy, Melt Overheating Treatment makes in the as-cast structure nascent MC carbide refinement and is evenly distributed.The research of Melt Overheating Treatment in iron-based, aluminium base and nickel-base alloy, use morely, but still rarely have report at the magnesium alloy fused mass Overheating Treatment.The present invention just is being based on this, proposes to be fit to the melt overheat treatment method of magnesium alloy cast tissue, and finds suitable temperature of superheat and Changing Pattern.
The concrete treatment process of the present invention is, earlier magnesium alloy is heated to the melt overheat temperature and carries out Overheating Treatment for 850~950 ℃, through abundant insulation evenly, record melt limit portion's temperature and heart portion temperature head less than 2 ℃ after, allow melt be cooled to 720 ± 5 ℃ of teeming temperatures, obtain as-cast specimen by semicontinuous casting or iron mould casting then and get final product with heating container.Be lower than at 850 o'clock in temperature of superheat, the degree of Melt Overheating Treatment refined cast structure and raising homogeneity of ingredients is not enough; When temperature of superheat was higher than 950 ℃, further the degree of refined cast structure and raising homogeneity of ingredients was not obvious, may make the as-cast structure alligatoring because of the minimizing of heterogeneous crystallization nuclei on the contrary.
When solute atoms in the magnesium alloy under the room temperature in theory fully during solid solution, above-mentioned temperature of superheat is 900~950 ℃; When solute atoms in the magnesium alloy under the room temperature in theory fully during solid solution, above-mentioned temperature of superheat is 850~900 ℃.
The invention will be further described below by two specific embodiments.
Embodiment one
Select the AZ31 magnesium alloy to carry out Overheating Treatment, in order to obtain to organize optimum melt overheat temperature, having chosen 750 ℃, 800 ℃, 850 ℃, 900 ℃, 950 ℃ five temperature of superheat in the experiment studies, alloy liquid is heated to five temperature of superheat respectively, make melt temperature even through the grace time insulation, record melt limit portion and heart portion temperature head less than after 2 ℃, be cooled to 720 ℃ of teeming temperatures, obtain as-cast specimen by semicontinuous casting with crucible.After as-cast specimen ground with sand paper,, under metaloscope, observe the as-cast structure of alloy with the corrosion of 10% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution, and the primary dendritic spacing and the secondary dendrite arm spacing of measurement as cast condition dendritic structure; Under scanning electron microscope, by energy spectrum analysis dendritic structure homogeneity of ingredients, by dendritic segregation degree Se tolerance, that is:
C in the formula
MaxBe the maximum concentration of certain constituent element in the dendritic segregation district; C
MinBe the minimum concentration of certain constituent element in the dendritic segregation district; C

In conjunction with Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, dendritic structure and primary dendritic spacing, secondary dendrite arm spacing and the dendritic segregation degree Se of AZ31 magnesium alloy under different temperature of superheat are handled, obtain making AZ31 as cast condition dendritic structure the most tiny, the most uniform temperature of superheat of composition is 950 ℃, is the ceiling temperature of 850~950 ℃ of Overheating Treatment temperature.
Embodiment two
By the method for embodiment one, AZ61, AZ91 are experimentized, as shown in Figure 5: make AZ61 magnesium alloy cast dendritic structure the most tiny, the most uniform temperature of superheat of composition is 900 ℃; As shown in Figure 6: make AZ91 magnesium alloy cast dendritic structure the most tiny, the most uniform temperature of superheat of composition is 850 ℃, is the lower limit temperature of 850~950 ℃ of Overheating Treatment temperature.
Hence one can see that, the series alloy identical to alloying element, and when alloying element content is low more, the melt overheat temperature is high more; When alloying element content is high more, the melt overheat temperature is low more.
