Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of plastic forming, and relates to a manufacturing method for a thin-walled conical barrel-shaped part, in particular to a manufacturing method for a thin-walled part with a cylindrical structure at the small end and a conical shape from the throat to the large end. Background Art

[0002] A typical part of the thin-walled conical barrel-shaped part is the inner liner of a rocket engine, and the material is mainly copper and copper alloy. On one side of the material is a cooling pipeline for loading liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and on the other side is high-temperature gas, which has a wide application in the aerospace field.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of the aerospace industry, the production and delivery quantity of rocket engines has increased day by day, and the demand for the inner liners of thin-walled conical rocket engines has increased. At present, the thin-walled conical barrel-shaped parts are formed by turning a forging, and the following problems have gradually emerged in this production process:

[0004] (1) The forging is formed by hot die forging using a large hydraulic press, and the forging process flow is complex, the production cycle is long, and the delivery cycle is about one month;

[0005] (2) Adopting the forging scheme, the machining allowance is large, and the utilization rate of raw materials is only 10%, and the raw material cost is very high.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a manufacturing method for thin-walled conical barrel-shaped parts to shorten the production cycle and reduce the manufacturing cost. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a manufacturing method for thin-walled conical barrel-shaped parts.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0009] A manufacturing method for thin-walled conical barrel-shaped parts includes the following steps:

[0010] A. Design of the plate blank for the thin-walled conical barrel-shaped part. Calculate the structural dimensions of the plate blank according to the dimensions of the thin-walled conical barrel-shaped part, and then process the plate into the required dimensions of the plate blank:

[0011] Thickness of the boss of the plate blank

[0012] The outer diameter d3 of the boss of the plate blank = (1.25 - 4)d1,

[0013] Thickness of the plate blank

[0014] The outer diameter d4 of the plate blank = d2 + (1.5 - 3)(t1 - t2),

[0015] The inner diameter D2 of the plate blank is (0.25 - 0.75)D1.

[0016] Among them, d1 is the outer diameter of the small-end cylindrical structure, D1 is the inner diameter of the small-end cylindrical structure, t0 is the wall thickness from the throat to the large-end conical thin-wall structure, θ is the cone angle, and d2 is the large-end outer diameter.

[0017] B. For the rotary swaging forming of the cylindrical structure of the conical thin-wall part, a rotary wheel with a fillet radius cuts into the plate surface along a direction forming an angle with the axis of the rotating plate blank and performs radial swaging, dividing the blank into two parts. One part is not affected by the swaging force and remains stationary; the other part is obliquely swaged by the rotary wheel and generates radial flow, and a cylindrical structure can be obtained.

[0018] C. For the shear spinning forming of the conical thin-wall structure of the conical thin-wall part, the plate blank is pressed by the tailstock plate against the end face of the mandrel and rotates together with the main shaft. The rotary wheel approaches the plate blank transversely and maintains a certain clearance value with the mandrel. At the same time, it moves at a uniform speed through the longitudinal feed movement of the rotary wheel. At this time, the rotary wheel applies pressure to the plate blank, causing the material to undergo point-by-point axial shear deformation and adhere tightly to the mandrel, and a conical thin-wall structure with a reduced wall thickness can be obtained.

[0019] D. Machining the allowances at both ends of the machined conical thin-wall part.

[0020] As a preferred method, in the step B, the rotary swaging forming process parameters are as follows: the forming fillet r1 of the rotary wheel is 0.5 - 3 mm; the angle α1 between the axis of rotation of the rotary wheel and the axis of the plate blank is 10 ≤ α1 ≤ 45°; the radial feed rate f1 of the rotary wheel, f1 ≤ 5 mm / r; the rotational speed n1 of the plate blank, n1 ≤ 50 r / min.

[0021] As a preferred method, in the step C, the shear spinning forming process parameters are as follows: the forming fillet r2 of the rotary wheel = (1 - 3)t0; the angle between the axis of rotation of the rotary wheel and the axis of the plate blank the feed rate f2 of the rotary wheel, 0.5 mm / r ≤ f2 ≤ 4 mm / r; the rotational speed n1 of the plate blank, n1 ≤ 100 r / min.

[0022] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] (1) After calculation, for the conical thin-wall part formed by the spinning forming process, compared with the forging forming process, the material utilization rate is increased from 10% of the raw material to 23%, saving the raw material cost of precious metals.

[0024] (2) The original forging process production cycle was about 1 month. Using the process method of the present invention, the processing time of the part can be shortened to 4 days, greatly improving the production efficiency. Brief Description of the Drawings
