Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-state pressure friction welding technology for titanium alloys, specifically a method for reinforcing complex uniform cross-section titanium alloy profiles with deep cavity curved surface linear friction welding. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve high performance, significant weight reduction, and long service life, the new generation of large aircraft extensively utilizes carbon fiber reinforced resin matrix composite (CFRP) integral structures (such as the Boeing 787 and Airbus A360XWB, where composite materials account for over 50% of the airframe structural weight). Due to the galvanic corrosion inherent in aluminum alloys and carbon fiber composites, titanium alloys, with their high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with composite materials, have become the preferred material for locally reinforcing irregularly shaped curved components (such as…). Figure 1 (used to support composite skin panels).

[0003] The aforementioned locally reinforced irregular titanium alloy components have characteristics of deep cavities, complex cross-sections, thin walls, and high ribs. Traditional CNC milling processes present the following problems:

[0004] 1. High manufacturing cost: Rib processing requires a lot of milling, the blank reserved cross-sectional area is large (extrusion equipment load is high and energy consumption increases dramatically), the material removal rate exceeds 60% (utilization rate is less than 40%), the processing cycle is long (single rib milling ≥ 20 seconds), and the overall cost is 30%-50% higher than that of this invention.

[0005] 2. Poor forming quality: Extrusion of large cross-sectional area blanks can easily lead to incomplete filling and uneven metal flow, resulting in uneven profile density and low dimensional accuracy (surface roughness ≥ Ra3.2μm).

[0006] 3. Poor environmental performance: The discharge of cutting waste fluid and dust causes pollution.

[0007] To address this, we propose a linear friction welding reinforcement process for deep-cavity curved surfaces of complex uniform cross-section titanium alloy profiles. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, in the initial stage, the stiffener plate undergoes horizontal vibration with an amplitude of ±5mm and a frequency of 50Hz. The Y-shaped profile gradually approaches the stiffener plate until it makes contact, and the oxide layer is removed by friction from the microscopic protrusions at the interface, without any visible flash.

Martensitic structure, weld compaction and shaping.

[0020] Preferably, in step S4, before unloading, the pressure relief knob of the proportional relief valve must be closed to release the pressure, and the hydraulic clamp should be released to remove the part after the cylinder pressure drops to ≤5kN.

[0021] Preferably, in step S2, the finite element simulation needs to calculate parameters such as axial shortening and flash volume, using the following formula:

Figure 4 ).

[0043] 2. Deep cavity surface simulation modeling

[0050] 3. Mechanism of the welding stage

[0051]

[0052] (II) Process Steps

[0053] 1. Equipment preparation (self-developed hydraulic linear friction welding platform) Figure 7 )

[0054] Equipment structure analysis:

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown: 1 is the shock-absorbing pad, 2 is the horizontal bed, 3 is the upsetting servo system, 4 is the upsetting column, 5 is the top crossbeam, 6 is the upsetting worktable, 7 is the hydrostatic guide rail, 8 is the vertical bed, 9 is the vibration servo system, 10 is the hydraulic clamp, and 11 is the profile to be pressed (1m-3m).

[0056] The platform adopts a symmetrical layout of "2 horizontal bed frames + 8 vertical bed frames":

[0057] Upsetting system: Upsetting servo system 2 is fixed to horizontal bed 2 through upsetting column 4, and drives upsetting worktable 6 to perform axial upsetting movement along hydrostatic guide rail 7 (positioning accuracy ±0.01mm).

[0058] Vibration system: Vibration servo system 9 is integrated into vertical bed 8, driving hydraulic clamp 10 to carry stiffener plate to perform linear reciprocating vibration (amplitude ±5mm, frequency 50Hz, motion accuracy ±0.05mm).

[0059] Auxiliary modules: Top beam 5 enhances equipment rigidity, and shock-absorbing pad 1 attenuates vibration interference (natural frequency ≤10Hz) to ensure stable welding process.

[0060] Clamping and verification:

[0061] Y-shaped profile ( Figure 8 A custom clamping block is held in place on the upsetting worktable 6, and the stiffener is fixed to the hydraulic clamp on the vibrating side. A clamping force of 40kN is applied (closed-loop control of pressure sensor, error ≤1kN). The alignment is finely adjusted by a coordinate measuring machine: axial deviation ≤0.05mm, radial deviation ≤0.10mm, to ensure interface contact uniformity ≥95%.

[0062] Start-up and energy storage:

[0063] Start oil pump motors 1-3 in sequence and wait 10 minutes for energy storage (accumulator pressure reaches 25MPa, pump source operation indicator light is all green); start the hydrostatic guide rail oil pump (oil film thickness ≥0.02mm, operation indicator light is on).

[0065] Basic parameters:

[0066] The pre-welding position is set to "slide table compaction displacement x-10mm", and the pre-weld position is "x+2mm" (x is the measured compaction displacement; in this example, x=85.2mm, so the pre-welding position is 75.2mm and the pre-weld position is 87.2mm). Friction stop control is displacement control.

[0067] Welding parameters:

[0068] Amplitude ±5mm (closed-loop control and verification via the built-in electronic scale of the machine tool vibration cylinder, error ≤0.05mm), frequency 50Hz (encoder feedback), friction pressure 70kN, upsetting pressure 75kN, upsetting time 30s, axial shortening 5mm (displacement sensor closed-loop control).

[0082] Transition phase (1.5-2.5s): The upsetting cylinder moves to 87.2mm at a speed of 3mm / s, and the friction pressure increases linearly to 70kN (pressure increase rate 10kN / s).

[0083] The interface temperature rises to 1200℃ (TC4 single-phase β region) at a rate of 100℃ / s, strain rate (Meets the viscoplastic flow conditions, and the strain rate is the result of theoretical derivation → simulation quantification → experimental verification), extruding the initial flash (width 2mm, color light yellow / blue).

[0084] EBSD analysis: β grains are elongated, and the dynamic recrystallization nucleation rate at grain boundaries is ≥30%.

[0086] Temperature stabilized at 972℃ (measured non-contactly by a laser temperature sensor, error ≤5℃), flash was continuously extruded at a rate of 0.5mm / s; EBSD analysis: average size of equiaxed β grains ≤10μm, interface oxide residue ≤5% (self-cleaning completed).

[0087] Upsetting stage (6.0-6.3s):

[0088] The vibration cylinder stops vibrating within 100ms (servo system response time ≤ 50ms), the upsetting pressure is raised to 75kN and held for 30s; thermoplastic TC4 is extruded in large quantities (total flash width 8-10mm), the β phase is rapidly cooled (cooling rate ≥ 100℃ / s), and transforms into... Martensite (TEM observation: needle-like martensite bundles ≤5μm).

[0089] 4. Uninstallation and Detection

[0109] Material model: Embedded TC4 high-temperature stress-strain curve ( Figure 4 Temperature-friction coefficient fitting formula:

[0110] 3. Simulation Analysis:

[0111] When the axial shortening is 5mm, the total extrusion amount reaches 12.5mm³ / mm² (uniform flash, no folds).

[0112] Temperature field: The interface center reaches 1200℃ (β phase region) during the transition stage and is stable at 972℃ (near the β phase transition point of 995℃) during the equilibrium stage, which meets the dynamic recrystallization thermodynamic conditions (recrystallization activation energy ≤200kJ / mol).
