Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of alloy forging, and in particular relates to a forging method and a die for a large hinge beam die forging for an aircraft. Background Art
[0002] There is a typical forging on large aircraft, which is the largest die forging among the high-strength and high-toughness 7050 aluminum alloy aviation mounting beam precision die forgings: hinge beam die forging. The hinge beam die forging is a precision die forging and a beam structure die forging. The maximum size of the part is 453.3×441.4×2860mm, and the maximum outer contour size of the die forging is 496×700×3237mm.
[0003] Hinge beam forgings such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 A first side structural schematic diagram of a 7050 aluminum alloy hinge beam die forging provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 It is a second side view structural schematic diagram of the 7050 aluminum alloy hinge beam die forging provided by the embodiment of the present invention. It is a relatively complex large aluminum alloy forging. The maximum outer length of the forging exceeds 3000mm, the maximum thickness is 496mm, and the minimum thickness is 146mm. The forging has an overall asymmetrical structure on the left and right sides, with a maximum drop of more than 300mm, and the volume distribution in the length direction is uneven, mainly concentrated at one end. Its basic body mainly includes multiple steps of the support part 101, the inner side of the support part is supported by three main side ribs 102, and its main body support part 101 extends forward to form a front beam part 104, and the connection is composed of three planes of different heights. The other side of the support part 101 is composed of a connecting boss 105, and there are 11 processing bosses 103 evenly distributed around the whole. The overall structural shape of the forging is complex, the slope is large, there is no directionality and symmetry correspondence, and the molding difficulty is high. It belongs to the type of forging that is difficult to mold and prone to defects.
[0004] The hinge beam die forging itself is a relatively precise die forging, which is a frame beam type die forging with a deep cavity, high ribs, large cross-section changes, small rounded corners, many bosses, and a relatively complex structure. The shape of the hinge beam die forging is basically close to the parts, with small machining allowance, high surface quality requirements, and high dimensional accuracy requirements; the die forging has a deep cavity, high ribs and a large bevel angle, which makes it difficult to die forge; the 7050 alloy is prone to coarse grains, and it is difficult to control the uniformity of organizational properties, and the metal flow direction is not easy to control; the forging size specifications are large, which increases the difficulty of various aspects in disguise, and there is less experience in the molding of related products. At the same time, the product working environment requirements are high, and the comprehensive performance requirements are high. Therefore, the biggest difficulty of hinge beam die forgings is the difficulty in dimensional control and the difficulty in controlling the uniformity of organizational properties.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a forging method for large hinge beam forgings of 7050 aluminum alloy for aircraft to improve product quality and accumulate product experience and performance data is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by technical personnel in this field.

[0111] Example 2
[0112] For ease of understanding, the present invention also provides a set of dies used in conjunction with the above-mentioned 7050 aluminum alloy hinge beam die forging 1 forming method, including a reforming forging die 3, a blanking die 4, and a die forging die 5. Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 1 A first side structural schematic diagram of a 7050 aluminum alloy hinge beam die forging provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 1 is a second side structural schematic diagram of a 7050 aluminum alloy hinge beam die forging provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of the forging die of the present invention; Figure 4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the blank making mold of the present invention; Figure 5-1 to Figure 5-4 It is a structural schematic diagram of the die forging die of the present invention; when in use:
[0113] First, the cylindrical ingot is upset and stretched in three directions by using a forging die 3, which includes an upper forging die 301 and a lower forging die 302. The blank is rounded and shaped into a blank 303 by using a billet making die 4, which includes an upper billet making die 401 and a lower billet making die 402.
[0114] Then, the blank is flattened at one end by using a blank-making mold 4 , and then stretched in multiple steps to a blank 403 . The blank-making mold 4 includes a blank-making upper mold 401 and a blank-making lower mold 402 .
[0115] Afterwards, a die forging die 5 is used to perform die forging 1 to form a pre-forged part. The die forging die 5 includes a die forging upper die 501, a die forging lower die 502, a die forging guide post 503, and a die forging ejector 504.
[0116] During the die forging, the blank 505 is placed on the die forging lower die 502, and the 506 plane is in contact with the plane of the big end of the blank 505 to stabilize it. The die forging upper die 501 is pressed down to contact the blank. The metal first fills the 506 plane. When it continues to flow, it is restricted by the surrounding cavity and the burr groove 516, forcing the metal to flow through the slopes 513, 514, and 515 as a whole to the grooves 507, 508, 509, 510, 511, and 512. Because the groove 512 has the largest depth and requires the most metal filling, the metal overflowing from the front groove will eventually flow to 512. However, in order to control the die forging to not cause excessive deformation, a fixed pressing amount is set, and the thickness of the groove 507 is used as the control dimension. The cavity will not be filled at all places.
[0117] Finally, the die forging die 5 is continued to be used for die forging 2, and the pre-forged blank is placed in the die forging lower die 502. Under the downward pressure of the die forging upper die 501, the metal continues to flow and fills the cavity piece by piece to complete the final forging 1, and then the forging is ejected out of the die by the ejector 504.
