Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an Mg alloy excellent in corrosion resistance by regulating the grain size of a beta crystallized substance, in an equilibrium state, to be dispersed to a specific value or below in an Mg alloy containing specific amounts of Al. CONSTITUTION:This is an Mg alloy containing 2-12wt.% Al. In this alloy, a beta crystallized substance (Mg17Al12) of <=10mum grain size in an equilibrium state is dispersed or a pearlite-state precipitate of alpha solid solution and beta crystallized substance is formed by >=60% by area ratio by means of heat treatment. The beta crystallized substance is dispersed in an alpha-Mg solid solution. The beta crystallized substance can be finely dispersed by means of rapid cooling, addition of a third element, etc., and corrosion resistance can be remarkably improved when the grain size of this beta crystallized substance is regulated to <=10mum. There are cases where the beta crystallized substance is dispersed in the grains and also where it is grown into pearlite state. Because corrosion resistance cane rapidly be improved when the amount of the beta crystallized substance in pearlite state reaches the prescribed value, the area ratio is regulated to >=60%.

The above corrosion mechanism is schematically shown in the case where the β-phase compound in FIG. 7 is finely crystallized, in the case of pearlite-like precipitation in FIG. 8 and in the case of coarse grains in FIG. It will be described with reference to the drawings. 7 to 9 show the case where the magnification is the same and there are three corrosion nuclei per unit area. When the β crystallized substance particle size in FIG. 9 is large, when the corrosion progresses to the β crystallized substance, the area per α solid solution is large, so that the corrosion spreads over a wide range.

However, when the β-phase compound of FIG. 7 is finely crystallized or when it is precipitated in the pearlite form of FIG. 8, the area of the α solid solution surrounded by the β-phase compound is very small.

The alloy of the present invention has a particle size of 10 μm in α solid solution.
Since the following fine β crystallized substances were dispersed, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the corrosion progressed to β crystallized substances, the corroded area remained in a small range and the corrosion resistance was excellent. It becomes an alloy. Further, in the second invention alloy, since the pearlite precipitates were formed by the heat treatment in an area ratio of 60% or more, the area of the α solid solution surrounded by the β phase compound was very narrow and small as shown in FIG. Similarly, the area that is corroded remains in a small range, and the alloy has excellent corrosion resistance.

The reason for the above is that when the area ratio is 60% or less, the area of the α solid solution increases and the effect of improving the corrosion resistance cannot be obtained.

A salt spray test was performed for an hour to measure the corrosion weight loss. The obtained results are shown in FIG. 1 as a relationship diagram with the particle size of β crystallized substances. As shown in Fig. 1, the corrosion weight loss is due to the crystal grain size of 10μ.
When it becomes less than m, it sharply decreases, and when it reaches 7 μm, the decrease amount of corrosion weight loss becomes saturated. As a result, it was confirmed that a magnesium alloy having excellent corrosion resistance can be obtained by making the grain size of the β crystallized product smaller than that of the die-cast material and 10 μm or less.
