Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of engine tail nozzle manufacturing, and in particular to a processing technology for engine tail nozzle forgings and a manufacturing die thereof. Background Art

[0002] The tail nozzle is an important component of an aircraft engine, and its structural precision is required to be high. Since it is the jet exhaust port of the aircraft engine, the tail nozzle also needs to have sufficient high temperature resistance and structural strength.

[0003] Most of the existing aircraft engine tail nozzles are made of high-temperature alloy materials to ensure that they have a small deformation range under high temperature. The existing aircraft engine tail nozzles have a structure similar to a cylindrical structure, with a through hole in the center that connects the front and back. Due to the high precision requirements and large size structure, the processing difficulty is relatively high. The existing engine tail nozzle processing method is generally to first forge a blank material of a specific alloy material into a cylindrical blank with a ring-shaped structure, and then put the cylindrical blank into a lathe for machining, and remove excess material through rough machining, semi-finishing and finishing, and finally form an engine tail nozzle of the required size.

[0004] Although this method can eventually realize the processing of the engine tail nozzle and meet the final size requirements, the difference between the structural size of the cylindrical blank after forging and the final product is relatively large, and the machining requires a large amount of margin to be removed, thus causing a large waste of materials. In addition, the machining requirements and difficulty are higher, the processing time is long, which greatly affects the processing efficiency and increases the production cost. Summary of the invention

[0047] In combination with the above-mentioned die, the engine tail nozzle forging processing process specifically includes the following steps:

[0048] A. Blank inspection: Re-inspect the cylindrical ring blank 12, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cylindrical ring blank 12 has a height of 562 mm, an outer diameter of 675 mm, and an inner diameter of the center hole of 465 mm. The cylindrical ring blank is made of GH4169 high-temperature alloy. The main chemical element contents (weight percentage) of the GH4169 high-temperature alloy are: C content ≤0.08%, Cr content 17.0%~21.0%, Ni content 50.0%~55.0%, Co content ≤1.0%, Mo content 2.80%~3.30%, Al content 0.30%~0.70%, Ti content 0.75%~1.15%, Nb content 4.75%~5.50%, B content ≤0.006%, Mg content ≤0.01%, Mn content ≤0.35%, Si content ≤0.35%, P content ≤0. .015%, S content ≤0.015%, Cu content ≤0.30%, Ca content ≤0.01%, Pb content ≤0.0005%, Se content ≤0.0003%, the balance is Fe, to ensure that the material meets the requirements;

[0049] B. Shot peening: clean the surface of the cylindrical ring blank 12 and check whether there are defects on the surface of the cylindrical ring blank 12. If there are defects, communicate with the customer and make detailed records on the turnover card. After the customer confirms that grinding is required, use an angle grinder to grind it. The width-to-depth ratio is >6 and the transition is smooth;

[0050] C. Chamfer: Chamfer of the end face of the cylindrical ring blank 12 is C20;

[0051] D. Apply lubricant: After cleaning the surface of the cylindrical ring blank 12, preheat it to about 150°C, then evenly apply lubricant 1-2 times, and the coating must not be damaged after application;

[0052] E. Wrapping and tying thermocouples: Cut the corresponding 25mm thick insulation cotton according to the size. After wrapping the cylindrical ring blank 12, the upper end face must be facing upwards and the ingot section numbers must be placed in the same order as before wrapping. Before wrapping, the thermocouple must be tied to the side round surface of the upper end face of the cylindrical ring blank 12 to test whether it works normally, and record the thermocouple number and the position of the blank with thermocouples in the furnace;

[0053] F. Blank heating and die preheating: a fire forging die and a cylindrical ring blank 12 are heated according to the process requirements, wherein the fire forging die is a tapered hole expanding forming die 1;

[0054] G. One-fire die forging: The press is debugged, the preheated tapered hole forming die 1 is installed on the hydraulic press, and the die is closed and aligned to zero position. The upper die 5 is evenly sprayed with graphite emulsion, and the cylindrical ring blank 12 is placed in the center of the tapered hole forming die 1 from the heating furnace by the operator who wraps the insulation cotton with clamps, and is positioned in the tapered hole forming die 1 through the center hole 121 of the cylindrical ring blank 12. At the same time, the hydraulic press is set with pressure, and the hydraulic press moves downward at full speed during the idle stroke. After contacting the cylindrical ring blank, the pressing speed is 15mm / s, and the pressing is performed until the underpressure is 25mm, and the cylindrical ring blank 12 is forged as shown below. Figure 7 The central hole 121 and the pre-forged part 13 with the upper and lower ends expanding outwardly;

[0055] H. Shot peening: After the pre-forged part 13 is removed from the tapered hole forming die 1, its surface is cleaned and checked for defects. If there are defects, it needs to be polished with an angle grinder, with a width-to-depth ratio of >6 and a smooth transition;

[0056] I. Apply lubricant: After cleaning the surface of the pre-forging 13, preheat it to about 150°C, then evenly apply lubricant 1-2 times, and the coating must not be damaged after application;

[0057] J. Wrapping and tying thermocouples: Cut the corresponding 25mm thick insulation cotton according to the size. After wrapping the pre-forged piece 13, the upper end face must face up and the ingot section numbers must be placed in the same order as before wrapping. Before wrapping, the thermocouple must be tied to the round side surface of the upper end face of the pre-forged piece 13, and tested whether it works normally, and the thermocouple number and the furnace loading position of the pre-forged piece 13 with thermocouples must be recorded;

[0058] K. Pre-forging heating and die preheating: heating the two-fire die forging die and the pre-forging 13 according to the process, wherein the two-fire die forging die is an upsetting extrusion die 2;

[0059] L. Two-fire die forging: The press is debugged, the preheated upsetting die 2 is installed on the hydraulic press, and the die is closed and aligned to zero position. The upper die 5 is evenly sprayed with graphite emulsion, and the pre-forged piece 13 is placed from the heating furnace to the inner center of the upsetting die 2 through the clamp and the operator with the insulation cotton wrapped, and the pre-forged piece 13 is positioned in the upsetting die 2 through the center hole 121 of the pre-forged piece 13. At the same time, the hydraulic press is set to the pressure, and the hydraulic press moves downward at full speed during the idle stroke. After contacting the pre-forged piece, the pressing speed is 15mm / s, and the pre-forged piece 13 is forged into the following shape. Figure 8 The tail nozzle forging 14 shown;

[0060] M. Shot peening: After the tail nozzle forging 14 is removed from the upsetting extrusion die 2, the surface is cleaned and the surface of the tail nozzle forging 14 is checked for defects. If there are defects, it needs to be polished with an angle grinder, with a width-to-depth ratio of >6 and a smooth transition;

[0061] N. Final inspection: Check the shape, size and surface quality of the tail nozzle forging 14.

[0062] In step G, the working principle of the tapered hole expanding forming die 1 is as follows: the preheated cylindrical ring blank 12 is placed in the die cavity of the lower die 6, the bottom of the center hole 121 of the cylindrical ring blank 12 is clamped on the outer side of the top of the lower punch 7 at the inner center of the lower die 6, and the centering is achieved. Then, after the hydraulic press sets the pressure, it drives the upper die 5 and the expanding punch 8 connected to the bottom of the upper connecting plate 3 to drive downward. After the head of the expanding punch 8 contacts and enters the center hole 121 of the cylindrical ring blank 12, the expanding punch 8 and the upper die 5 are pressed under the pressure of the hydraulic press. The press will continue to press down. Due to the structural effect of the reaming punch 8 and the lower punch 7, the outer sides of the upper and lower ends of the cylindrical ring blank 12 and the upper and lower ends of the center hole 121 are expanded outward. After the hydraulic press is pressed to an underpressure of 25 mm, the hydraulic press returns and drives the upper die 5 and the reaming punch 8 to reset upward at the same time, so that they are separated from the formed pre-forged part 13. Then, the lower punch 7 is moved upward under the action of the material stripper at the bottom of the lower connecting plate 4, and the pre-forged part 13 at its upper end is ejected. Finally, the pre-forged part 13 can be taken out by a mechanical clamp.

[0063] In the step L, the working principle of the upsetting die 2 is as follows: the preheated pre-forging 13 is placed in the die cavity of the lower die 6, the bottom of the center hole 121 of the pre-forging 13 is clamped on the outer side of the top of the lower punch 7 in the center of the lower die 6, and the centering is achieved, and then the hydraulic press drives the upper die 5 connected to the bottom of the upper connecting plate 3 and the forming punch 10 to drive downward after setting the pressure. After the head of the forming punch 10 contacts and enters the center hole 121 of the pre-forging 13, the forming punch 10 and the upper die 5 will continue to press down under the pressure of the hydraulic press. The contact ends of the punch 7 with the center hole 121 are both rounded ends, which makes it easier for the metal to flow to various parts of the final forging cavity 11. After the hydraulic press drives the upper die 5 and the lower die 6 to close the mold, that is, after the centering hole 51 at the bottom of the upper die 5 is completely sleeved on the upper end of the lower die 6, the hydraulic press returns and drives the upper die 5 and the forming punch 10 to reset upward at the same time, so that they are separated from the formed tail nozzle forging 14. Then, the lower punch 7 moves upward under the action of the material ejector at the bottom of the lower connecting plate 4, and the tail nozzle forging 14 located at its upper end is ejected. Finally, the tail nozzle forging 14 can be taken out by a mechanical clamp.

[0064] This engine tail nozzle forging manufacturing die is used to manufacture the cylindrical ring blank of the engine tail nozzle. After the two processes of tapered hole expansion and upsetting, the forging structure and size formed are closer to the engine tail nozzle part size. The later machining allowance is small, the difficulty is reduced, the production efficiency is improved, the material consumption and production cost are reduced, and the performance of the product is also significantly improved after two forgings.

[0065] It should be emphasized that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
