Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a thixotropic bulging extrusion method and a device for a copper-steel composite shaft sleeve part, belonging to the field of semi-solid forming. Background Art

[0002] Sleeve parts have the functions of precise guidance, precise positioning and supporting rotating shafts, and are widely used in the fields of automobiles, high-speed rail, aerospace, etc. Most traditional sleeve parts production methods use liquid forming methods such as centrifugal casting, but this method can only produce tubular blanks, and requires a large amount of subsequent cutting processing, resulting in serious material loss, low utilization rate, long production cycle and other consequences. In addition, the blanks are mostly coarse dendrites, with internal defects such as shrinkage cavities and shrinkage, resulting in low comprehensive mechanical properties of sleeve parts, affecting the service performance of parts; at the same time, after a large amount of mechanical processing, the blanks will cause a large amount of residual stress on the surface and shoulder of the sleeve parts, resulting in fracture.

[0003] With the rapid development of modern industry, the harsh service environment makes it impossible for a single metal material bushing to meet the requirements. Copper alloy bushings have good wear resistance, good thermal conductivity, and good plastic forming ability, but they have low strength, soft texture, high price, and difficult to achieve the matching precision. Steel bushings have slightly poor thermal conductivity and insufficient plastic forming ability, and are prone to wear, pitting, cracking and other failure forms, but they are low in price, high in strength, and high in processing precision. Therefore, the preparation of copper-steel composite metal bushings is expected to work stably and for a long life in complex service environments.

[0004] Since its proposal, metal semi-solid forming technology has developed rapidly; among them, thixoforming technology has the advantages of short production flow, stable production process, simple operation, low cost and high yield rate.

[0005] Conventional extrusion forming methods for preparing copper-steel composite sleeve parts have problems such as low bonding interface strength, incomplete shape, insufficient extrusion force, complicated composite process, high cost, and dangerous process, which is not conducive to the realization of mechanical automation production. Therefore, the use of thixotropic bulging extrusion method and device, a solid-semi-solid composite method to prepare copper-steel composite sleeve parts is expected to solve the problems of single material, short service life, low composite interface bonding strength, complex process, long production cycle, high cost, and low material utilization rate in the existing sleeve parts production. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a thixotropic bulging extrusion method for copper-steel composite shaft sleeve parts to solve the problems of single material, short service life, low composite interface bonding strength, incomplete shape, insufficient extrusion force, complex process, long production cycle, high cost and low material utilization rate in the existing shaft sleeve preparation method. The method utilizes semi-solid forming technology and the thixotropic bulging extrusion method to prepare copper-steel composite shaft sleeve parts with high material utilization rate, high production efficiency and excellent mechanical properties, and specifically comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) Cut the steel pipe into sections, remove impurities on the inner and outer surfaces using a lathe, and process threads on the outer surface, and then perform ultrasonic cleaning. Remove impurities on the inner and outer surfaces of the copper pipe, and process threads on the inside, and then perform ultrasonic cleaning.

[0010] During the thixotropic bulging variable speed extrusion process: the upper punch moves toward the copper-steel connector at three different speeds v1, v2, and v3. The first stage is from the upper dead point of the press to the upper punch contacting the inner edge of the steel pipe. This position is set as the 0mm point and the running speed is v1. The second stage is 0-23mm and the running speed is v2. The third stage is 23-46mm and the running speed is v3. When the third stage push time reaches 6s, the speed no longer increases. Among them, v1, v2, and v3 satisfy the following relationship formula:

[0011]

[0012] Where t1 is the time taken to run at speed v1, t2 is the time taken to run at speed v2, and t3 is the time taken to run at speed v3.

[0013] (4) The upper punch is quickly moved, and the ejector cylinder drives the ejector rod to eject the copper-steel composite sleeve part. After the mold is opened, the copper-steel composite sleeve part is taken out and quickly water quenched.

[0014] (5) The composite sleeve parts after water quenching were subjected to T6 heat treatment: solution heat treatment at 660°C for 60 min and artificial aging treatment at 360°C for 120 min.

[0015] Preferably, the semi-solid temperature in step (2) of the present invention is 890-910°C.

[0016] Preferably, in step (3) of the present invention, the mold preheating temperature is 425-485°C.

[0017] The metal tube described in the present invention is a pipe fitting after plastic deformation, and can be an extruded tube, a rolled tube, a spun tube, a drawn tube, etc.

[0018] The threads processed on the outer surface of the steel tube of the present invention match well with the threads processed inside the copper tube; the steel tube and the copper tube have the same height; the upper and lower punches of the mold can produce bulging effects on the copper tube and the steel tube, and the forming parts of the upper and lower punches are completely consistent.

[0019] Another object of the present invention is to provide a variable expansion extrusion die, the die comprising an upper punch fixing plate 1, an upper punch 2, a die 5, a push rod 6, a lower punch 7, a lower punch fixing plate 8, a push rod fixing plate 9, a push plate 10, and a die fixing plate 11; the upper punch fixing plate 1 is connected to the top of the hydraulic press, the hydraulic press controls the upper punch 2 to move up and down, the upper punch 2 is fixed on the upper punch fixing plate 1, and the lower punch 7 is fixed on the lower punch fixing plate 8; when the mold is closed, the upper punch 2, the die 5, and the lower punch 7 form a cavity, and the shaft shoulder is extruded under the joint action of the upper punch 2 and the die 5, and the push rod 6 is fixed on the top plate 10 through the push rod fixing plate 9; the inner wall of the mold die 5 and the boss of the upper punch 2 are set with a draft angle of 1°; the cavity formed after the upper punch 2, the lower punch 7 and the die 5 are closed corresponds to the shape of the sleeve part.

[0020] Preferably, the upper punch fixing plate 1 of the present invention is detachably connected to the upper punch 2, and the upper punch fixing plate 1 is fixed to the top position of the hydraulic press by a T-shaped plate; the lower punch 7 is detachably connected to the lower punch fixing plate 8; the die fixing plate 11 is detachably connected to the die 5, and the die fixing plate 11 is fixed to the working table position of the hydraulic press by a T-shaped plate, and remains fixed during the extrusion process.

[0021] Preferably, the mold material of the upper punch 2, the concave mold 5, and the lower punch 7 of the present invention is H13 mold steel.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] (1) The copper-steel composite shaft sleeve parts prepared by the present invention adopt a solid-semi-solid composite method of thixotropic bulging extrusion to effectively avoid the limitations of a single metal material shaft sleeve, give full play to the advantages of composite materials, greatly improve the strength, wear resistance, matching accuracy, and adaptability to harsh service environments of the shaft sleeve parts, while reducing production costs and increasing economic benefits.

[0024] (2) The present invention adopts a solid-semisolid composite method, which fully utilizes the excellent flowability of the semisolid metal slurry to fully fill the outer surface of the steel pipe processed into a threaded surface, effectively expel the air, and increase the bonding strength of the copper-steel composite interface. While improving the service performance, it effectively extends the service life of the copper-steel composite sleeve.

[0025] (3) The present invention adopts a thixotropic bulging extrusion method to prepare a copper-steel composite shaft sleeve. The double bulging structure enables: the copper tube externally heated to a semi-solid temperature to produce a large deformation and fully contact the external thread surface of the steel tube; the steel tube undergoes a large degree of thermoplastic deformation to produce a diameter expansion effect, and the composite is more thorough and sufficient during the downward pressure of the upper punch shoulder, and the interface bonding strength is greatly enhanced.

[0026] (4) The present invention innovates in the design of the punch and adopts a double punch design, which makes the bulging process more complete and greatly improves the interface bonding strength of the copper-steel composite layer.

[0027] (5) The mold described in the present invention is composed of a mold cavity consisting of an upper punch, a concave die, and a lower punch, so that the two metal tubes are subjected to three-dimensional compressive stress during the bulging extrusion deformation process, thereby improving the plastic deformation capacity, while increasing the organizational density of the sleeve parts and improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of the sleeve.

[0028] (6) The present invention has made innovations in the setting of the extrusion speed, adopting a variable speed extrusion method and using a slightly slower speed during the bulging process, which can make the bulging more complete and the copper-steel interface bonding layer more compact.

[0029] (7) The present invention adds a push rod to the die. After the die is closed and the bulging is performed, the push rod can be driven by the push cylinder to eject the sleeve part, and finally a copper-steel composite sleeve with complete filling and precise dimensions is obtained.

[0030] (8) Compared with conventional liquid forming, the composite sleeve parts prepared by the present invention have the advantages that the internal structure of the copper layer is a semi-solid structure with uniformly distributed spherical or near-spherical solid particles and dispersed liquid phase, and has good comprehensive mechanical properties. During the forming process, the structure is more compact due to the extrusion force, and it is a near-net shape with high material utilization. In addition, the layered composite process cannot be achieved by liquid forming. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
