1. A method for preparing heterogeneous Mg alloys bar, which is involved in the following steps:
Step 1: pretreating a high elastic modulus metal, which comprises chemically cleaning surfaces of the high elastic modulus metal to remove oil stain and oxide, performing galvanizing treatment on the surfaces of the high elastic modulus metal to obtain a pre-treated solid metal that has a zinc layer with a proper thickness, presetting the pre-treated solid metal in a cavity of a mold, and then, wrapping a heating sleeve around the mold to preheat the pre-treated solid metal and the mold; wherein an elastic modulus of the high elastic modulus metal is at least four times that of Mg, and the high elastic modulus metal is selected from one of high entropy alloys CoCrNi and VCoNi and is solid state;
Step 2: performing solid-liquid composite casting operation on the pre-treated solid metal, which comprises under an antioxygen and inert gas shielding atmosphere, removing the heating sleeve, and then performing casting operation on the pre-treated solid metal to obtain a heterogeneous Mg alloy cast ingot, wherein the casting operation comprises pouring liquid Mg or liquid Mg alloy into the mold, and wrapping the heating sleeve around the mold to perform heat preservation on the mold;
Step 3: deforming the heterogeneous Mg alloy cast ingot, which comprises cutting the heterogeneous Mg alloy cast ingot to obtain heterogeneous metal bar, and extruding, drawing or rotary forging the heterogeneous metal bar to obtain a deformed heterogeneous metal bar, thereby to eliminate casting defects and improve an interfacial bonding quality; and
Step 4: performing heat treatment on the deformed heterogeneous metal bar, which comprises performing vacuum solution on the deformed heterogeneous metal bar to obtain a heterogeneous Mg alloy bar, thereby to eliminate an influence of deformation and tailor a microstructure of heterogeneous metal;
wherein: in step 1, the heating sleeve is wrapped around the mold to perform preheating treatment to hold temperature at 650˜670° C., which is not lower than a melting point temperature of Mg or Mg alloy, for 5-7 hours; in step 2, after pouring, the heating sleeve is quickly wrapped for heat preservation, heat preservation temperature is held at 600˜700° C. for 2˜8 hours; and in step 3, the heterogeneous metal bar is deformed by extrusion, drawing or rotary forging at a deformation temperature of 250˜300° C.
