Low-alloyed magnesium alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities at room temperature and preparation method thereof

Abstract

A low-alloyed magnesium (Mg) alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities at room temperature and a preparation method thereof are provided. The low-alloyed Mg alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities includes the following elements in percentage by mass: 0.5-1.5% of Gadolinium (Gd), 0.5-0.9% of Zinc (Zn), 0.3-0.6% of Zirconium (Zr), and the balance of Mg (Mg). By adding low-content Gd, Zn and Zr elements to a Mg matrix, the low-alloyed Mg alloy not only has effects of solid solution strengthening, precipitation strengthening and fine-grain strengthening, but also, under the interaction effect of a plurality of elements, promotes the non-basal dislocation slipping of Mg alloy, and stimulates the dislocation damping mechanism, thereby effectively improving the plasticity and damping properties of Mg alloy. The low-alloyed Mg alloy with high ductility and high damping capacities at room temperature has excellent plasticity and damping properties at room temperature.
