Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tube electrode abrasive particle assisted multi-groove electrolytic cutting processing device and method, belonging to the field of electrolytic processing. Background technique [0002] In aerospace and other fields, titanium alloys and other difficult-to-machine materials are often used for some key connecting parts. The processing of these materials requires no recast layer and microcracks on the surface after processing. In addition, some parts have complex cross-sectional shapes and large depth-to-width ratios, and the amount of material removal is also large. Therefore, how to realize high-efficiency and high-quality processing of difficult-to-machine materials has become a difficult problem in the aerospace field. [0003] The traditional cutting tool wears seriously, and the processing technology is also very complicated. Usually, residual stress will be generated on the surface of the processed workpiece to form a w...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] When cutting parts with a large depth-width ratio, it is difficult for the electrolyte to flow in and out in the small processing gap. The greater the depth, the greater the pressure loss along the flow of the electrolyte, which makes the discharge of the electrolytic product difficult and the processing area The flow field is chaotic, which eventually leads to low processing efficiency and poor processing surface quality

In addition, when electrolytically cutting parts with a large depth-width ratio, the electrolyte flow may be turbulent. With the increase of the feed rate, some anode metals may not be electrolytically removed due to lack of liquid in some processing areas, resulting in Short circuit caused by ignition causes processing interruption
