This invention discloses a method for manufacturing Mg-Sr alloy by vacuum thermal reduction, which comprises the steps of: (1) grinding and mixing calcined MgO, SrO or its precursor, CaO, ferrosilicon (or other silicon alloy, aluminum, or aluminum alloys) and fluorite, (2) pressing into large balls, (3) placing into a reaction kettle for vacuum thermal reduction, and (4) collecting Mg and Sr vapor and condensing to form solid Mg-Sr alloy. Compare with conventional Mg metallurgy by Si-thermal reduction or Sr metallurgy by Al-thermal reduction, the method in this invention can achieve simultaneous vacuum thermal reduction of MgO and SRO to obtain Mg-Sr alloy. The method has such advantages as low cost and high efficiency. |
