Currently, a growing number of titanium alloy fasteners are gradually replacing traditional alloy steel fasteners to meet the urgent needs of high-performance and weight reduction for spacecraft. Titanium alloy bolts are the most widely used aerospace fastener. Most titanium alloys have poor deformability and are prone to defects such as cracking during cold upsetting.

The cross-sectional shape of the torsional channel 424 transitions from a circle to an initial ellipse, then gradually twists from the initial ellipse to a final ellipse, and then transitions from the final ellipse to a circle. The dimensions of the circular cross-sectional shape after the transition are the same as those of the horizontal channel. The initial ellipse is twisted 90° to the final ellipse, i.e., the major axis of the initial ellipse is perpendicular to the major axis of the final ellipse. The dimensions and ratio of the major axis to the minor axis of the initial and final ellipses can be adjusted according to process requirements.

[0048] In this embodiment, the extrusion forming channel 51 includes a head channel and a threaded screw channel. One end of the head channel is connected to the other end of the torsion channel 424. The cross-sectional size of one end of the head channel is the same as the cross-sectional size of the other end of the torsion channel 424.

[0052] In this embodiment, the forming slider 7 is used in conjunction with the slider baffle 6, the limit baffle, and the clamping bolt 43. Installation and coordination: The forming slider 7 is installed in the slider hole 421, and the wedge-shaped position with the slider hole 421 limits its height freedom; the limit baffle limits its longitudinal freedom, ensuring the positioning connection between the extrusion forming channel 51 and the torsion channel 424; the slider baffle 6 and the clamping bolt 43 limit the horizontal lateral freedom of the forming slider 7.

On the other hand, the forming slider 7 can be quickly replaced to form continuous production capacity, which is suitable for high-efficiency, high-quality and continuous production of fasteners made of difficult-to-deform materials.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] This embodiment also provides a method for preparing a fastener using the fastener processing mold 100 of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, a homogenized TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) titanium alloy round rod ingot is used as the blank to be processed, and the fastener is a bolt. This embodiment is also suitable for the manufacture of fasteners made of other difficult-to-deform lightweight metal materials, and includes the following steps:

[0056] Step 1: Manufacturing a fastener processing mold 100 according to the cavity channel structure;

[0057] Step 2: Assemble the processing mold 100 for the fastener. Specifically, assemble the mold half 41 and the mold half 42 using the positioning pins 46 and the fixing bolts 44, and fix them to the lower mold plate 8. Apply a high-temperature release agent to the inner surface of the slider hole 421. Install the forming slider 7 and the slider baffle 6 into the slider hole 421 and limit them by the limiting side plate 5 and the clamping bolts 43. The die 4 is mounted on the workbench of the hydraulic press through the lower mold plate 8. The punch 3 is installed in the punch fixing plate 2 and installed to the upper mold plate 1. The punch 3 is mounted on the upper slider of the hydraulic press through the upper mold plate 1.

[0058] Step 3: Preheat the fastener processing mold 100 according to the process requirements. The preheating temperature of the fastener processing mold 100 is 320°C. The blank to be processed is heated and kept warm. The preheating temperature of the blank to be processed is 350°C. The blank to be processed is removed from the electric furnace, a high-temperature lubricant is applied to the outer surface of the blank to be processed, and the blank is quickly placed into the inlet channel 422.

[0059] Step 4: Place the blank to be processed through the inlet channel 422, apply high-temperature lubricant on the outer surface of the punch 3, start the hydraulic press, press the punch 3 down to a specified height, and return the hydraulic press;

[0060] This embodiment adopts a discharging method in which the last blank to be processed pushes out the previous blank to be processed (i.e., "material pushing material"). Based on the forming principle of two blanks to be processed to extrude a fastener, the volume conversion relationship between the cavity channel structure and the single blank to be processed is utilized to determine the entrance of the expansion channel as the downward pressure height position of the bolt forming punch 3;

[0061] According to the law of constant volume (the volume of metal remains unchanged during plastic deformation), the volume V of the cavity channel structure is calculated. The cross-sectional area of ​​the blank to be processed is S, and the height H required to fill the blank to be processed can be obtained as H = V / S;

[0062] Step 5: Unscrew the clamping bolt 43, remove the limit side plate 5, remove the slider baffle 6, and remove the forming slider 7 in the die 4;

[0063] Step 6: Take the prepared fastener out of the forming slider 7 and clean the cavity of the forming slider 7 for future use;

[0064] Step 7: Install the replacement forming slider 7, install the slider baffle 6, install the limiting side plate 5, and tighten the clamping bolt 43;

[0065] Step 8. Repeat steps 4 to 7 to achieve continuous high-quality production.

[0066] This embodiment introduces the upsetting-torsion-extrusion composite strong plastic deformation technology to generate high hydrostatic pressure and large shear strain inside the material, thereby improving the material's low-temperature forming ability, increasing the material's strength and toughness and the fastener forming efficiency, and realizing the forming and characterization integration of the fastener preparation process.

[0067] This embodiment causes the blank to be processed to undergo a variety of deformation forms such as upsetting, shearing, torsion, and extrusion in a single extrusion process. By utilizing the continuous transition changes in the cross-sectional shape and size of the cavity channel structure and the deformation advantages of torsional shear, asymmetric shear stress, large gradient strain, and high hydrostatic pressure can be generated inside the material, forming a gradient distribution change in the grain size of the material from the surface to the core, thereby improving the microstructure refinement effect and the comprehensive performance of the material, and preparing a high-strength and tough fastener with an ultrafine grain microstructure with a gradient size distribution and a shape and size that meets the use requirements.

The above examples are only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. At the same time, those skilled in the art will find that the specific implementation methods and application scopes may vary based on the concept of the present invention. In summary, the contents of this specification should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
