(3), temperature is adjusted to 710~730 ℃, carry out refining, stir liquation 10~30min, liquation is warming up to 755~765 ℃ again, 20~60min is left standstill in insulation, adds the interpolation element of above-mentioned content then respectively, makes magnesium alloy fused mass;
(4), magnesium alloy fused mass is made magnesium alloy semisolid slurry;
(5), with magnesium alloy semisolid slurry pressure forming, make the magnesium alloy piston.
This method is by magnesium alloy smelting, the preparation of magnesium alloy semisolid slurry, pressure forming step.Wherein, the preparation of magnesium alloy semisolid slurry can be taked magnesium alloy fused mass is carried out mechanical agitation or electromagnetic agitation, simultaneously melt temperature is controlled, thereby is formed magnesium alloy semisolid slurry.Pressure forming is die casting, extrusion casint or three kinds of methods of die forging.
The preparation of magnesium alloy semisolid slurry can be taked magnesium alloy fused mass is carried out mechanical agitation and shearing in temperature-controlled environment, generate magnesium alloy semisolid slurry, also can adopt known similar techniques to come slurrying, but its essence all is stirring in the temperature control environment, shearing, extruding or above-mentioned several effect basically puts on magnesium alloy fused mass simultaneously, obtains magnesium alloy semisolid slurry thus.Wherein, in the preparation of magnesium alloy semisolid slurry, also can take magnesium alloy fused mass is carried out electromagnetic agitation, simultaneously melt temperature be controlled, thereby form magnesium alloy semisolid slurry.Be to adopt the mechanical agitation method to prepare a kind of method of magnesium alloy semisolid slurry in temperature-controlled environment below, still, the present invention is not limited to the method.
In the preparation method of magnesium alloy engine pistons of the present invention, in described step (4), the described process that magnesium alloy fused mass is made magnesium alloy semisolid slurry is: with said temperature is that 680~720 ℃ magnesium alloy fused mass injects semisolid pulper inlet, by pulper magnesium alloy fused mass is carried out mechanical agitation, speed of agitator is 280~320 rev/mins, magnesium alloy fused mass carried out 800~1200/ seconds detrusion speed, at magnesium alloy fused mass in the motion process of pulper exit, the magnesium alloy fused mass temperature is lowered the temperature with 2.0~6.0 ℃/second speed, when making magnesium alloy fused mass arrive the pulper outlet, the magnesium alloy fused mass temperature is 560~600 ℃, becomes magnesium alloy semisolid slurry.
2, a kind of preparation method of magnesium alloy engine pistons, this method comprises the steps:
(1), gets the raw materials ready according to the component content of above-mentioned magnesium alloy;
(2), earlier the magnesium ingot with above-mentioned content is warming up to fusing in crucible, temperature is under 700~750 ℃ the condition, in the mode of Al-Si intermediate alloy, to add the Al and the Si of above-mentioned content, carries out melting;
(3), temperature is adjusted to 710~730 ℃, carry out refining, stir liquation 10~30min, liquation is warming up to 755~765 ℃ again, 20~60min is left standstill in insulation, adds the interpolation element of above-mentioned content then respectively, makes magnesium alloy fused mass;

3, a kind of preparation method of magnesium alloy engine pistons, this method comprises the steps:
(1), gets the raw materials ready according to the component content of above-mentioned magnesium alloy;
(2), earlier the magnesium ingot with above-mentioned content is warming up to fusing in crucible, temperature is under 700~750 ℃ the condition, in the mode of Al-Si intermediate alloy, to add the Al and the Si of above-mentioned content, carries out melting;
(3), temperature is adjusted to 710~730 ℃, carry out refining, stir liquation 10~30min, liquation is warming up to 755~765 ℃ again, 20~60min is left standstill in insulation, adds the interpolation element of above-mentioned content then respectively, makes magnesium alloy fused mass;
(4), magnesium alloy fused mass is made magnesium alloy ingot;
(5), with magnesium alloy ingot through extrusion process, post bake; Or, carry out pressure forming more directly through post bake, make the magnesium alloy piston.
This method is by magnesium alloy smelting, and the preparation of magnesium alloy ingot is through extrusion process, post bake; Or directly through post bake, steps such as pressure forming.The preparation of magnesium alloy ingot is that melt temperature is being carried out adopting die casting under the controlled condition, also can adopt continuous casting technology to cast out magnesium alloy ingot.Magnesium alloy ingot is become the bar of certain diameter through extrusion process, bar is become blank by the constant weight sawing, carry out post bake again, carry out pressure forming again after forming semisolid, post bake and pressure-formed process and system are ditto described.In above-mentioned steps (5), after magnesium alloy ingot becomes blank by the constant weight sawing, can carry out pressure forming more directly through post bake.Wherein the preparation of magnesium alloy ingot is ditto described.For the hardening constituent in the broken ingot casting, more disperse and even makes it to distribute, can carry out the bar that extrusion process becomes certain diameter to alloy cast ingot, bar is become blank by the constant weight sawing, carry out post bake again, carry out pressure forming again after forming semisolid, post bake and pressure-formed process and system are ditto described.
In described step (5), describedly through the detailed process of extrusion process, post bake be: magnesium alloy ingot is processed into the crimp blank with magnesium alloy ingot, again with crimp blank heating to 300~360 ℃ and after being incubated 20~40 minutes, blank is transferred in the recipient of extruder, be squeezed into the casting bar, after the cooling, the extruded bars sawing is become attitude die casting blank; Adopt magnesium alloy semi solid state to process special-purpose secondary heating furnace again, be incubated die casting blank heating to 570~585 ℃.
In the preparation method of above-mentioned the 1st, 2,3 kind of magnesium alloy engine pistons, described pressure forming is die casting, extrusion casint or die forging three approach, first kind of approach is the pressure chamber that magnesium alloy semisolid slurry is placed die casting machine, and the punching press by pressure head is cast into piston with magnesium alloy semisolid slurry; Second kind of approach is that magnesium alloy semisolid slurry is placed extrusion casting machine, is shaped by extrusion casint; The third approach is that magnesium alloy semisolid slurry is placed mould, prepares piston by die-forging forming.Above-mentioned three approach is conventional method.
