Abstract:Under the increasingly urgent situation of industrial lightweighting, magnesium-lithium alloys, as the lightest metal structural materials, not only have a weak texture tendency, good low-temperature mechanical processability, but also have the green characteristics of recyclability, and have broad application prospects. However, the complicated melt protection process and the lack of melt purification technology related to the preparation of large-volume high-quality Mg-Li alloy are one of the key factors restricting its large-scale application. This paper introduces the research progress of Mg-Li alloys melt protection and purification at home and abroad, discusses the mechanisms of gas protection, flux protection and purification. We prospect the future technological development direction of Mg-Li alloys melt protection and purification as well.
