Abstract: Methods for producing a magnesium-rare earth intermediate alloy, which belongs to the technical field of molten salt electrolytic metallurgical technology. In one embodiment, the method comprises subjecting magnesium chloride, lanthanum praseodymium cerium chloride and potassium chloride to an electrolysis, and adding additional lanthanum praseodymium cerium chloride and magnesium chloride during the electrolysis. In the electrolysis process, neither metal magnesium nor rare earth metal is used, only the chlorides of rare earths and magnesium are used and the rare earth ions and the magnesium ions are co-electrodeposited on the cathode, so as to obtain the intermediate alloy having a melting point close to the eutectic temperature of the rare earth and magnesium. The method has various advantages including but not limited to high operability, simple process and equipment, stable quality of product by mass production and easy for commercial scale production.

Abstract: A high-strength, high-toughness, weldable and deformable rare earth magnesium alloy comprised of 0.7˜1.7% of Ym, 5.5˜6.4% of Zn, 0.45˜0.8% of Zr, 0.02% or less of the total amount of impurity elements of Si, Fe, Cu and Ni, and the remainder of Mg, based on the total weight of the alloy. During smelting, Y, Ho, Er, Gd and Zr are added in a manner of Mg—Y-rich, Mg—Zr intermediate alloys into a magnesium melt; Zn is added in a manner of pure Zn, and at 690˜720° C., a round bar was cast by a semi-continuous casting or a water cooled mould, then an extrusion molding was performed at 380˜410° C. after cutting. Before the extrusion, the alloy is treated by the solid-solution treatment at 480˜510° C. for 2˜3 hours, however, the alloy can also be extrusion molded directly without the solid-solution treatment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a magnesium-rare earth intermediate alloy, which belongs to the technical field of molten salt electrolytic metallurgical technology. Inside an electrolysis oven, magnesium chloride, lanthanum praseodymium cerium chloride and potassium chloride in a controlled mass ratio of 5:(40-35):(55-60) are formulated as electrolyte composition, and the electrolysis is performed under a temperature of 800-900° C., a cathode current density of 10-30 A/cm2, and a distance between the electrodes of 4 to 8 cm; and the lanthanum praseodymium cerium chloride and the magnesium chloride are added in a mass ratio of 1:1.5-5 during the electrolysis, thus the magnesium-lanthanum praseodymium cerium intermediate alloy is produced.
