Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of residual stress testing, in particular to a device and method for testing the distribution of residual stress in a plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Quenching heat treatment and other rapid cooling heat treatment is usually an important process in the preparation and processing of metal materials. For example, after solid solution heat treatment, aluminum alloy plates generally need to be quenched to obtain a supersaturated solid solution, so that the dispersed strengthening phase can be analyzed and precipitated during subsequent aging heat treatment to ensure the mechanical properties of the alloy. However, quenching treatment can cause a large temperature gradient in the plate, resulting in high residual stress. Although most of the residual stress can be eliminated by pre-deformation process after quenching, some residual stress still exists in the finished plate. The existence of residual stress can cause significant deformation during subsequent part processing, resulting in assembly failure or even cracking. Therefore, residual stress control and elimination of the plate is very important, which requires the support of residual stress testing methods.

[0003] Residual stress testing methods have been developed for a long time, and there are a large number of methods that can be used for plate residual stress testing. Among them, the layer peeling method is suitable for internal residual stress distribution testing and is commonly used by material production enterprises and aviation main machine manufacturers for residual stress testing. The traditional layer peeling method is to paste strain gauges on the sample peeling surface or back surface to capture the strain during the peeling process. However, the strain gauge testing accuracy is affected by multiple factors such as experimental temperature and paste quality, resulting in large errors in residual stress calculation results.

[0046] In order to better explain the present application, so as to be understood, the present application is described in detail by specific embodiments in combination with the drawings.

[0047] As Figure 2As shown, the testing device provided by the present invention includes a base 5, support columns 7, side limiting blocks 8, and a deflection test dial indicator 6. The base 5 has multiple pre-drilled mounting holes for mounting the support columns 7, side limiting blocks 8, and the deflection test dial indicator 6. At least two support columns 7 are vertically mounted on the base 5, with their top ends forming a horizontal plane for placing the plate sample 4. The side limiting blocks 8 are vertically mounted on the base 7 to define the horizontal position of the plate sample 4. The deflection test dial indicator 6 is vertically mounted on the base 7 with its pointer pointing vertically upwards and its tip intended to contact the center point of the bottom surface of the plate sample 4 for testing the deflection of the sample.

[0048] The test method for testing the internal residual stress distribution of a plate using this testing device includes the following steps:

[0049] (1) A sample was cut from a 60mm thick aluminum alloy sheet, with a length of 400mm and a width of 50mm. The sample was prepared using conventional solution-quenching, and the residual stress can be considered to be symmetrically distributed along the thickness direction. Therefore, half the thickness of the sample was milled, and the number of peeling layers was determined to be 10, with each milling layer being 3mm thick. See the schematic diagram. Figure 1 .

[0050] (2) First, test the initial thickness h0 of the sample at thickness measurement position 2; then, place the sample 4 on... Figure 2 On the support column 7 (the support distance is set to 0.9 times the sample length, i.e., 360mm), the upper surface is selected as the peeling surface 1. The side of the sample is pressed against the side limiting block 8, and the center point 3 of the sample bottom surface contacts the pointer of the deflection test dial gauge 6, and the dial gauge is zeroed. Then, the sample is placed on a milling machine to remove the first layer. After milling, the sample is placed on the testing device with the peeling surface 1 facing upwards, the side of the sample pressed against the side limiting block 8, and the center point 3 of the sample bottom surface contacting the pointer of the deflection test dial gauge 6. The dial gauge reading is recorded as the cumulative deflection d1, and the thickness h1 of the remaining sample is measured. This process is repeated until 10 milling operations are completed, and the cumulative deflections are recorded as d2 to d1. 10 The thicknesses are denoted as h2 to h3. 10 .

[0051] (3) The residual stress distribution inside the specimen is calculated based on the cumulative deflection and thickness test results. The specimen width is denoted as b, the original thickness is h0, and the support distance of the specimen on the deflection test platform after delamination is l. s The sample thickness before the nth peeling is h. n-1 The thickness of the sample after delamination is h. n The deflection change of the sample tested on the platform is d. n Generally, for a rectangular cross-section specimen with uniform stress distribution in the same horizontal plane, the midpoint along the length direction is where the deflection reaches its maximum value.

[0052] The physical meaning of the bending moment can be known from the first layer stress acting on the bending moment of the sample can be expressed as the product of force and force arm:

[0053]

[0054] Wherein, F1 is the average value of the first layer stress, r1 is the distance between the first layer and the neutral plane of the sample, for the stress symmetrically distributed along the thickness direction of the sample, r1 = 0.5h0, σ1 is the average stress of the sample in the first layer.

[0055] When the sample is stripped of the first layer, the first layer stress is completely released, the sample is deformed by bending to make the force and moment re-equilibrium, so the bending moment change ΔM1 is:

[0056]

[0057] According to the corresponding relationship between the maximum deflection of the sample and the bending moment, ΔM1 can also be expressed as:

[0058]

[0059] Wherein, E is the elastic modulus of the sample, I1 is the inertia moment of the cross section of the sample after stripping the first layer (also known as the area moment of inertia), for the rectangular cross section, its value is

[0060] Integrating equation (5) and equation (6), the average stress of the first layer of the sample can be obtained as:

[0061]

[0062] When the sample is stripped of the second layer, the sample occurs deflection d2 warping deformation when the required bending moment Is:

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, The bending moment There are four factors contributing to the generation of.

[0065] First, only the bending moment change

[0066]

[0067] Second, the bending moment change

[0068]

[0069] Third, the bending moment change The moment required to load the second layer specimen in the opposite direction on the basis of the deflection dl caused by the first layer stress release can be considered as:

[0070]

[0071] Where I = b - (h1-h2) Δh 3 / 12.

[0072] Fourthly, the first layer stress release causes the neutral layer position of the specimen to shift downward by (h0-h1) / 2, and the change value of the bending moment caused by the shift of the neutral layer position is

[0073]

[0074] Therefore, the bending moment change caused only by the second layer stress release is

[0075]

[0076] The average stress σ2 of the second layer of the specimen can be further obtained as:

[0077]

[0078] Similarly, when calculating the residual stress of the third layer, the above four factors also need to be considered, and the average stress σ3 of the third layer can be expressed as:

[0079]

[0080] Wherein, can be expressed as:

[0081]

[0082] In turn, the average stress σn of the nth layer can be expressed as: n

[0083]

[0084] Wherein, can be expressed as:

[0085]

[0086] The equation (18) is brought into the equation (17), and integration and simplification are performed to obtain the formula (1). According to the above method, the residual stress of the length direction specimen and the width direction specimen of the plate is tested, and the long direction component stress and the width direction component stress ​​​At this time, the stress distribution calculated is the stress distribution of one half thickness, and since the residual stress distribution of the sample is symmetrical along the thickness direction, the residual stress distribution of the other half thickness can be obtained by symmetrizing the calculated residual stress distribution of one half thickness along the center point of the thickness.

[0087] (4) In order to verify the accuracy of the calculation formula, the finite element software and the birth-death element technology are used to simulate the deformation behavior of the quenched plate after peeling, and the initial stress distribution and the stress distribution calculated by the formula are compared. The simulation process is as follows: ① A model with the same size as the actual plate is established, and the finite element model is established by using the real thermal physical parameters and the heat exchange condition, and the quenched residual stress distribution is obtained by simulation; ② The birth-death element technology is used to simulate the peeling method for the model with quenched residual stress distribution, and the peeling times and the thickness of each layer are consistent with the actual peeling process; ③ After the peeling is finished, the deflection change of the center point of the bottom surface of the sample model is output, the quenched residual stress distribution is calculated according to the derived formula, and is compared with the quenched residual stress distribution obtained by simulation. As shown in the stress distribution comparison of the deformation amount results obtained by the peeling method and the original stress distribution Figure 3 It can be seen that the calculation result is relatively accurate, which shows that the calculation formula of the present application can calculate the real residual stress distribution of the sample by collecting the deflection change.

[0088] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation manner and application range can be changed, and the content of the description should not be understood as the limitation of the present application.
