Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal materials technology, specifically relating to a method for manufacturing aluminum alloy forgings for semi-circular structural beams for aerospace applications. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the aerospace industry, the performance requirements for ultra-high strength aluminum alloy structural components are becoming increasingly stringent. Structural components are evolving towards higher performance, precision, and complexity. Some load-bearing structural components in carrier-based aircraft, due to the influence of the operating environment, need to be designed as semi-circular shapes. These components not only require high performance but also a defect-free surface to prevent deformation during use, placing even higher demands on these irregularly shaped structural components.
[0003] Existing forged parts of this type have a semi-circular structure. If the blank dimensions are not up to standard, it will result in an incomplete and defective forging after molding. After quenching, the semi-circular shape experiences high stress, often leading to deformation that renders it unworkable. The arc has many reinforcing ribs, and folding defects exist after molding. If these defects are not properly repaired, the forging is prone to breakage along the folds during use, posing a safety hazard to aircraft. This invention solves the problems of incomplete molding and folding defects. By optimizing the process, stress deformation is addressed, mechanical properties meet standards, and a stable supply can be achieved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of incomplete forming, folding defects and substandard mechanical properties in the existing preparation of semi-circular structural parts for aviation, and to provide a method for manufacturing aluminum alloy forgings of semi-circular structural beams for aviation.

Casting of Aluminum Alloy Ingots: The aluminum alloy ingots are cylindrical ingots with dimensions of Φ405×900mm; the mass percentage of elements in the aluminum alloy ingots is as follows: Si ≤0.10%~0.25%, Fe ≤0.9%~1.4%, Cu 2.0%~2.6%, Mn ≤0.10%, Mg 1.2%~1.8%, Cr 0.10%, Ni 0.9%~1.4%, Zn 0.10%, Ti ≤0.05%~0.10%, individual impurities ≤0.05%, total impurities ≤0.15%, and the remainder is Al;
[0007] 2. After the above-mentioned aluminum alloy ingots are loaded into the furnace, they are heated to 320℃~350℃, and then extruded into bars. After the extruded bars are cut off at the head and tail and then cut into bars with a length of 1650mm as blanks.
[0008] 3. The above-mentioned blank is heated to 420-450℃, the initial forging temperature of the blank is 430℃, and then it is bent on a 5000-ton vertical free forging hydraulic press. The die temperature is 350℃-400℃. The blank is bent into a blank that is the same as the template according to the bending process.
[0009] IV. Pre-pressing of blanks: The blanks obtained in step three are heated to 420℃~450℃, the first forging temperature is 430℃~440℃, the first final forging temperature is 400℃~430℃, the last forging temperature is 430℃~450℃, the last final forging temperature is 400℃~430℃, and the die temperature is 360℃~380℃ to obtain pre-pressed forgings;
[0010] 5. The pre-pressed forgings obtained in step 4 are subjected to etching and cleaning for repair, and then subjected to one die forging. The heating temperature of the pre-pressed forgings is 420℃~450℃, the initial forging temperature of the first piece is 420℃~440℃, the final forging temperature of the first piece is 400℃~430℃, the initial forging temperature of the last piece is 410℃~430℃, the final forging temperature of the last piece is 400℃~420℃, and the die temperature is 360℃~380℃ to obtain the die forgings.
[0011] VI. The forgings obtained in step 5 are subjected to etching and cleaning for repair, then subjected to two die forging processes, followed by etching and cleaning for repair, pre-fire inspection, quenching treatment and aging treatment in sequence, thus completing the manufacturing of aluminum alloy forgings for semi-circular structural beams for aviation.
[0012] Furthermore, in step two, the aluminum alloy ingots must be cleaned of dust, aluminum shavings, and burrs before being loaded into the furnace; during loading, the aluminum alloy ingots must be placed neatly and stably on the material tray.
[0013] Furthermore, in step two, the extrusion process involves using a 5000-ton horizontal hydraulic press with a Ф420mm extrusion cylinder to extrude bars with a diameter of Φ95mm. The cylinder temperature is 320℃~380℃, the extrusion speed is ≤0.6mm / S, and the extrusion is performed using a reverse extrusion method. The extrusion residue must be less than 25mm.
[0014] Furthermore, the etching and repair process described in steps five and six is the same: the part to be cleaned is placed upright in a stainless steel etching basket, and etched and degreased in an alkaline bath of 15% to 20 wt% NaOH at 50℃ to 70℃ for 10 to 20 minutes. Then, it is washed with alkaline solution in a cold water bath at room temperature, and then neutralized and washed with acid in an acid bath of 30% to 40 wt% HNO3 at room temperature for 5 to 8 minutes. Then, it is washed with acid in a cold water bath at room temperature. Finally, the part is rinsed in a hot water bath at 50 to 70℃. After being taken out, it is placed on a repair area with aluminum pads on the ground for repair. Defects in the forging are checked and removed.
[0015] Furthermore, in step six, the two-stage die forging process is as follows: Before die forging, the impurities in the die cavity are removed with compressed air, the upper and lower dies are installed and lubricated with sand oil, and the forging temperature of the first and last pieces of each horizontal stack is 400℃~450℃ when the die forgings are taken out of the furnace. The die forging is carried out in a 5000-ton vertical free forging hydraulic press. The die forgings are subjected to two die forgings. During the final pressing, the lubrication and pressure are applied twice, then the air is released after lifting the car, and then the pressure is applied again. The first piece is then inspected, and the mark is printed in the specified position. Then the burrs are removed. The residual amount of burrs after cutting is less than or equal to 8mm, and undercut is not allowed.
[0016] Furthermore, the two lubrication processes employ a mixture of abrasive oil and graphite as the lubricant; the mass ratio of the abrasive oil to graphite is 7:(2~3).
[0017] Furthermore, in step six, the quenching process is as follows: the forgings and test samples that have completed the pre-quenching inspection are placed flat in the quenching basket and quenched at 529℃~535℃. The holding time is 150~180min for air holding, and the temperature of the water used for quenching is 40℃~60℃. The quenching transfer time is less than or equal to 15s, and the quenching basket is raised and lowered in the water more than 5 times. After staying in the water for 15min, it is lifted out of the water and the quenching furnace number is marked to the specified position.
[0018] Furthermore, the test sample is obtained by randomly selecting one die forging from the same batch that has completed the pre-fire inspection, cutting and sampling it.
[0019] Furthermore, the aging treatment described in step six involves aging at 191℃~198℃, with a holding time of 12 hours for the metal and a total heating time of 12 hours~18 hours.
[0020] The aluminum alloy forgings for semi-circular structural beams for aviation manufactured by this invention not only meet the standard requirements in terms of dimensions, but also improve the overall performance of the semi-circular forgings. It improves the stress deformation characteristics during the machining and use processes, reduces defects in low-magnification microstructure, improves the load-bearing capacity of the forgings, and extends the service life of the aluminum alloy forgings for semi-circular structural beams, thus meeting the requirements for aluminum alloy forgings for semi-circular structural beams for aviation.
