Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an ultra-high load titanium alloy rotating body forging mold. The forging mold structure consists of three parts, including a pre-forging upper mold 1, a final forging upper mold group 2, and a bottom mold 3.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom surface of the pre-forging upper die 1 is provided with a pre-forging upper cavity 101. The final forging upper die assembly 2 includes a die frame 201, the bottom of which is provided with a rotatable final forging upper die 202, and the bottom surface of the final forging upper die 202 is provided with a final forging upper cavity 203. The top surface of the bottom die 3 is provided with a forging lower cavity 301.

[0048] In use, the lower forging cavity 301 can be used in conjunction with both the pre-forging upper cavity 101 and the final forging upper cavity 203. When the pre-forging upper cavity 101 and the lower forging cavity 301 are used together, the disc-shaped billet 14 can be processed into a pre-forged billet 15. When the lower forging cavity 301 and the final forging upper cavity 203 are used together, by controlling the final forging upper die 202 according to the cyclic forging method of "pressing-lifting-rotating-pressing", the pre-forged billet 15 can be processed into a final forging 16. The final forging 16 is an ultra-large titanium alloy rotating body forging.

[0049] like Figure 1 and2 As shown, in order to ensure the accuracy of the positioning when the pre-forging upper die 1 cooperates with the bottom die 3, two guide sliding rods 11 are arranged on the pre-forging upper die 1, and the two guide sliding rods 11 are diagonally arranged. Meanwhile, two guide sliding holes 12 are arranged on the bottom die 3. When the pre-forging upper die 1 cooperates with the bottom die 3, the guide sliding rods 11 are embedded into the corresponding guide sliding holes 12.

[0050] After the pre-forging blank 15 and the finish-forging piece 16 are forged, in order to facilitate the taking out of the pre-forging blank 15 and the finish-forging piece 16 from the forging lower cavity 301, in the embodiment, a top rod hole is arranged at the bottom of the forging lower cavity 301, and a top rod 13 is arranged in the top rod hole. The number of the top rod holes can be multiple, and needs to be uniformly distributed.

[0051] As a way to realize the rotary connection between the die frame 201 and the finish-forging upper die 202, in the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figures 3 to 5 the outer wall of the die frame 201 is provided with an annular track groove 4, and the outer wall of the finish-forging upper die 202 is provided with multiple connection grooves 5 arranged in a ring shape. The outer side of the annular track groove 4 is provided with multiple groove-type connecting pieces 6, each groove-type connecting piece 6 corresponds to each connection groove 5 one by one, one end of the groove-type connecting piece 6 extends into the connection groove 5, and the other end extends into the annular track groove 4. In the embodiment, a driving rod 7 is arranged on the outer side of the groove-type connecting piece 6. The finish-forging upper die 202 can be driven to rotate through the driving rod 7.

[0052] In order to reduce the contact friction between the groove-type connecting piece 6 and the annular track groove 4, a ball 8 is arranged between the groove-type connecting piece 6 and the annular track groove 4. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 6 the lower horizontal part of the annular track groove 4 and the upper end bottom surface of the groove-type connecting piece 6 are both provided with a semicircular groove, the ball 8 rolls in the semicircular groove, and the two ends of the upper end of the groove-type connecting piece 6 are fixed with a baffle, and the baffle on both sides limits the ball 8 in the upper end of the groove-type connecting piece 6.

[0053] When the finish-forging upper die 202 is forged according to the cycle forging method of "pressing-uplifting-rotating-pressing", in order to ensure the accuracy of the forging position after each rotation, as shown in the figure, Figure 7 and 8 a plurality of rotation mark positions 9 are arranged in a ring shape on the outer wall of the die frame 201, and a positioning mark position 10 is arranged on the outer wall of the finish-forging upper die 202. When used, the positioning mark position 10 corresponds to the rotation mark position 9, and the finish-forging upper die 202 and the bottom die 3 can cooperate to complete a forging after rotation. In the embodiment, the positioning mark position 10 and the rotation mark position 9 are designed in the form of a key groove.

[0054] Meanwhile, when the final forging upper die 202 is forged according to the cycle forging method of "pressing-lifting-rotating-pressing", in order to ensure the stability of the final forging upper die 202 and the bottom die 3, a plurality of guide bosses 204 are uniformly distributed around the final forging upper cavity 203, and each guide boss 204 is arranged on the bottom surface of the final forging upper die 202. A plurality of guide grooves 302 are uniformly distributed around the forging lower cavity 301, and each guide groove 302 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom die 3. The number of guide grooves 302 is the same as the number of guide bosses 204, and the guide grooves 302 and the guide bosses 204 are embedded and matched.

[0055] The number of rotation mark positions 9, the number of guide bosses 204 and the number of guide grooves 302 need to be set according to the structural features of the final forging piece 16. As shown in Figure 9 and 10 In this embodiment, the top surface of the final forging piece 16 is provided with seven annularly and uniformly arranged forging piece grooves 1601, and each forging piece groove 1601 is provided with one corresponding forging piece protrusion 1602 on the outside. The bottom surface of the final forging piece 16 is provided with seven annularly and uniformly arranged forging piece protrusions 1602. Therefore, the number of rotation mark positions 9 in this embodiment is seven, and the number of guide bosses 204 and guide grooves 302 is also seven.

[0056] The structure of the pre-forging upper cavity 101, the structure of the final forging upper cavity 203 and the structure of the forging lower cavity 301 also need to be set according to the structural features of the final forging piece 16. According to the structural features of the top surface and the bottom surface of the final forging piece 16, in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 11 to 13 In the pre-forging upper cavity 101, seven pre-forging grooves 102 are arranged in a ring, and in the forging lower cavity 301, seven bottom die cavity grooves 303 are arranged in a ring. In this embodiment, two spaced final forging protrusions 205 and seven annular final forging grooves 206 are arranged in the final forging upper cavity 203. The final forging groove 206 plays a positioning role on the forging piece protrusion 1602 on the pre-forging blank 15. During final forging, only the two final forging protrusions 205 of the final forging upper cavity 203 press the pre-forging blank 15, and the rest only the material inside flows.

[0057] As shown in Figure 9 , 10As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the specific method of the forging mold in this embodiment of the invention is as follows: When the pre-forging upper cavity 101 and the forging lower cavity 301 are used together, the disc-shaped billet 14 can be processed into a pre-forging billet 15 in one go. The top and bottom surfaces of the processed pre-forging billet 15 are both formed with seven annularly arranged forging protrusions 1602. When the forging lower cavity 301 and the final forging upper cavity 203 are used together, by controlling the final forging upper mold 202 to follow the cyclic forging method of "pressing-lifting-rotating-pressing", the two final forging protrusions 205 in the final forging upper cavity 203 are forged and pressed in sequence on the top surface of the pre-forging billet 15 to form forging grooves 1601. After rotating 3 times and pressing 4 times, the final forging 16 with dimensions conforming to the drawing requirements is obtained.

[0058] Based on the structural features of the final forging 16 in this embodiment, this embodiment also discloses a method for forging an ultra-high load titanium alloy rotating body, which includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 1: Prepare a disc-shaped billet. Use a large flat die to perform multiple upsetting forgings on the bar stock to prepare a disc-shaped billet 14.

[0060] In practice, the end faces of the bar stock are milled flat to ensure that the perpendicularity of both end faces of the bar stock to the axis is ≤0.5, the roughness is ≤Ra6.3, and the edge chamfer is R30~R50. The ultra-large bar stock for preparing ultra-large titanium alloy rotating body forgings is placed in two upper and lower flat dies for multi-fire uniform deformation upsetting forging, resulting in a disc-shaped billet 14.

[0061] In this step, the bar stock cut to the required specifications is heated in an electric furnace at a temperature equal to the phase transformation temperature T of the titanium alloy. β Reduce the temperature by 30-50°C from the base temperature, i.e., T β - (30~50)℃. The heating time for cold material is calculated at 0.6~0.7 min / mm, and the heating time for hot material is calculated at 0.4~0.5 min / mm. For forgings in the same furnace, the timer starts from the moment the last piece exits the furnace. Reheating and holding are permitted 30 minutes after exiting the furnace. The holding time for cold material is calculated at 0.6~0.7 min / mm, and the holding time for hot material is calculated at 0.4~0.5 min / mm. Among these, pieces returned to the furnace ≤1 hour after exiting are considered hot material, and those returned >1 hour are considered cold material.

[0062] The heating time and the heat preservation time are calculated in the same way, based on the effective cross-sectional thickness (inscribed circle) of the material. For example, for a φ100×200mm bar, 100mm is used as the effective thickness; for a φ100×50mm bar, 50mm is used as the effective thickness.

[0063] T β This is the phase transformation temperature of titanium alloy materials. Around this temperature, the composition of the internal phases of the material will transform from the β phase to the α phase. This forming method is applicable to T... βForging of titanium alloy materials below a certain temperature (i.e., two-phase forging) is generally carried out at T. β Reduce the temperature by 30 to 50°C from the base temperature.

[0064] The key technical points in the forging process are: first, to reasonably allocate the deformation amount between each forging, so that the deformation amount of the bar stock is between 20% and 40% while ensuring that the height and diameter of the ultra-large size billet are less than the height of the electric furnace door; second, to lay heat-insulating asbestos on the upper end face of the billet and the lower plate die before each forging to ensure the forging temperature of the ultra-large size bar stock.

[0065] Step 2, pre-forging: The disc-shaped billet 14 is placed in the upper pre-forging die 1 and the lower pre-forging die 3, so that the disc-shaped billet 14 is pre-forged multiple times in the matching upper pre-forging cavity 101 and lower forging cavity 301 to prepare the pre-forged billet 15.

[0066] In practice, the disc-shaped billet 14 is preheated at a temperature of 100–200°C and held for 20–30 minutes. After removing the disc-shaped billet 14, its entire surface is sprayed with a titanium alloy-specific forging lubricant. After spraying, the disc-shaped billet 14 is placed in an electric furnace and heated to a temperature equal to the phase transformation point T of the titanium alloy material. β The temperature should be reduced by 30-50°C from the base temperature. The heating time for cold material should be calculated at 0.6-0.7 min / mm, and the heating time for hot material at 0.4-0.5 min / mm. For forgings in the same furnace, the timer starts from the moment the last piece exits the furnace, and reheating is permitted after 30 minutes. The holding time for cold material should be calculated at 0.6-0.7 min / mm, and the holding time for hot material at 0.4-0.5 min / mm. For pieces reheated within 1 hour of exiting the furnace, they are considered hot material; those reheated after >1 hour are considered cold material.

[0067] Meanwhile, the upper forging die 1 and the lower die 3 need to be placed in a heating furnace and heated to 250-350°C in advance, and kept at that temperature for 12 hours before being installed on the corresponding forging equipment.

[0068] Step 3, final forging: The pre-forged billet 15 is placed in the final forging upper die 202 and the bottom die 3, so that the pre-forged billet 15 is in the matching final forging upper cavity 203 and forging lower cavity 301. By controlling the final forging upper die group 2 to perform a cyclic forging process of pressing-lifting-rotating-pressing, the final forging part 16 is prepared.

[0069] In practice, the pre-forged billet 15 is preheated at a temperature controlled between 100℃ and 200℃ and held for 20 to 30 minutes. After removing the pre-forged billet 15, its entire surface is sprayed with a titanium alloy-specific forging lubricant. Then, the pre-forged billet 15 is placed in an electric furnace and heated to a temperature equal to the phase transformation point T of the titanium alloy material. β Reduce the temperature by 30-50°C from the base temperature, i.e., T β(30-50) °C. The heating time is calculated as 0.6-0.7 min / mm, and the pre-forged blank 15 is heated to the final holding time and then taken out of the furnace for use of the aluminum silicate fiber felt soft packing cover. After the packing cover, it is put into the furnace for holding, and the holding temperature is controlled at T β (30-50) °C, and after being heated to the temperature, it is held for 30-45 min and then forged; at the same time, the final forging upper die 202 and the bottom die 3 need to be heated to 250-350 °C in advance and held for 12 h, and then installed on the corresponding die forging equipment.

[0070] The technical points in the forging process are: first, to ensure that the positioning mark 10 corresponds to the rotating mark 9, so as to fix the rotation angle; second, to keep the die frame 201, the final forging upper die 202, the ball 8 and the groove connecting piece 6 fully lubricated, so as to shorten the rotation period and reduce the blank temperature drop rate, thereby increasing the forgeable time of the blank.

[0071] Step four, the final forging piece 16 is ejected from the bottom die by the ejecting rod 13 in the lower die cavity 301.

[0072] Example two

[0073] In this example, a super large size TB6 titanium alloy rotary body forging (outer size: φ1600x450mm, forging weight: 1813kg) is prepared. A φ550mm TB6 titanium alloy bar is used, the end face of the bar is first milled to ensure that the perpendicularity of the two end faces to the axis is ≤0.5, the roughness is ≤Ra6.3, and the edge chamfer is R30-R50, so that the bar does not bend during the upsetting process. Then, the bar is upset forged for 5 times using a flat die installed on the die forging equipment, and finally a cake blank with a size of φ1190x390mm is obtained. The heating temperature of each time is 760 °C, i.e. the phase transition point temperature T β of the TB6 titanium alloy material selected in this example is 800 °C, and 760 °C=T β -40 °C. The deformation amount and the heating time are shown in Table 1.

[0074] Table 1 is the deformation amount and the heating time of the bar

[0075]

[0076] The cake blank obtained above is pre-forged for 3 times using a pre-forging upper die 1 and a bottom die 3 installed on the die forging equipment to obtain a pre-forged blank 15. The heating temperature of each time is 760 °C, the holding time of the cold material is calculated as 0.6 min / mm, and the holding time of the hot material is calculated as 0.4 min / mm.

[0077] Then the cake of the previous step is placed in the final forging upper die 202 and bottom die 3 for final forging forming. During the forging process, the "pressing-lifting-rotating-pressing" cycle method is used for forging, and 7 rotating mark positions 9 are set, each rotating 51.4° (in principle, the forgings are allowed to have a size error within the range specified in the drawing, so the rotation angle can be 51.4° each time), the pre-forging blank contact area is 30% of the total projected area of the forging, after rotating 3 times and pressing 4 times, the forgings with sizes meeting the drawing requirements are obtained, and then the forgings are ejected from the bottom die 3 through the lower ejection mechanism. The heating temperature of the billet in this heating is 760℃, and the holding time is 280min. Further, under the premise of ensuring the ultrasonic testing blind area and the overall machining allowance of the part, the forgings are subjected to maximum cross-section reduction processing before heat treatment to improve the hardenability of the oversized TB6 titanium alloy rotary body forgings. Finally, the forgings are treated according to the following heat treatment system: heated to 765℃ and held for 120min, then taken out of the furnace and water cooled; heated to 515℃ and held for 495min, then taken out of the furnace and air cooled. Table 2 shows the room temperature tensile and fracture toughness properties of the final forgings.

[0080] Figure 16 、 Figure 17 The low-magnification and microstructure of the final forgings are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively. As can be seen from the figures, the low-magnification structure of the forgings has no metallurgical defects and good flow lines; the microstructure is composed of β matrix and spherical or strip-shaped primary α phase, which meets the standard requirements of the forgings. Figure 17 The white structure is α phase, and the rest is β matrix.
