Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of delamination defect prediction, specifically to a method and model for predicting delamination defects in the piercing process of high-temperature alloy skew rolling. Background Technology
[0002] Skew rolling piercing: Skew rolling piercing is a forming process that uses localized, continuous plastic deformation to transform solid bars into hollow seamless tubes. Due to its advantages of high material utilization, low forming load, and high production efficiency, it has been applied to the manufacture of seamless tubes from advanced materials such as alloy steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and magnesium alloys. However, because high-temperature alloys have high deformation resistance, narrow processing windows, poor deformation penetration, and their microstructure is sensitive to temperature and strain rate, the use of this technology to prepare nickel-based high-temperature alloy seamless tubes has not yet been industrialized. Delamination defects are the direct cause of this situation, essentially due to the lack of a method for predicting external delamination defects in skew rolling piercing of high-temperature alloys.
[0003] Delamination defects: Delamination defects are arc-shaped or annular cracks of a certain width parallel to the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe wall. They mainly occur in special steels and high-temperature alloys. Depending on their location, delamination defects are further divided into "external delamination defects" and "internal delamination defects." Annular cracks near the outer surface of the pipe are called external delamination defects, and annular cracks near the inner surface are called internal delamination defects. Generally speaking, external delamination defects occur in the region r / R = 0.8-0.9, and internal delamination defects occur in the region r / R = 0.1-0.2. Here, r refers to the distance from the sampling point to the center of the billet, and R refers to the radius of the billet.
[0004] Existing technologies lack a method for predicting delamination defects during the skew rolling piercing process of high-temperature alloys. Among similar technologies, patent 201910196012.9 mentions setting the mandrel extension of the push rod to 5mm-15mm, the feed angle of the two-roll skew rolling piercing mill to 8°-15°, the rolling angle to 15°, the reduction rate to 7%-17%, and the roll speed to 30r / min-40r / min to avoid external delamination defects. However, this patent only relates to process parameters that can avoid external delamination defects and does not describe a method for predicting delamination defects. Summary of the Invention

[0090] A schematic diagram of the compression-shear deformation test specimen of GH4169 alloy, as shown below. Figure 5-8 As shown, the compression-shear deformation test of GH4169 alloy was completed on a Gleeble 3500 thermal simulation testing machine. The compression at the fracture point was determined by gradually increasing the deformation amount. The critical compression determined by the experiment was 3 mm. Figures 9-11 This is a photograph of the actual specimen of GH4169 alloy subjected to compression-shear deformation test.
[0091] Then, a finite element model of the compression-shear deformation of GH4169 alloy was established, and the compression-shear deformation finite element simulation was performed. The geometric model is as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the sample is located between the top mold and the bottom mold;
[0092] The material model includes: thermal parameters and mechanical parameters.
[0093] The thermal parameters include thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, which are measured using a thermal conductivity meter and a specific heat capacity meter.
[0094] The mechanical parameters, including Young's model and flow stress curves, were determined using a Gleeble thermal simulation testing machine.

[0103] Verification comparison example:
[0104] Based on the established delamination defect prediction model, the damage evolution law of the skew rolling process under the critical process parameters of delamination defects is analyzed, and the results are as follows: Figure 14-15 As shown in the figure, the damage on the outer surface exhibits a "step-like" variation pattern due to the cyclic rolling characteristics, while the damage in the core shows a steady-state variation. Radially, the damage initially increases and then decreases from the core towards the surface, with a maximum damage of 0.98, close to the cracking critical value of 1. Therefore, the established ductile fracture model can accurately predict the cracking conditions of delamination defects during the skew rolling piercing process of GH4169 alloy.
