Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of limit processing of ultra-high strength plate, and particularly relates to a limit bending composite forming method of ultra-high strength plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] According to the definition of the domestic standard, the strength greater than 600 MPa belongs to ultra-high strength material. The bending radius R is close to or equal to the material thickness, which belongs to limit bending. With the development of energy saving and light weight, the application of ultra-high strength steel plate in production and manufacturing is favored. At present, when the bending structure of the ultra-high strength steel plate is produced and processed, the hot bending forming is usually adopted first, and then the heat treatment is carried out to meet the strength requirement. In actual production, the large-sized steel plate cannot be realized by hot pressing forming, and in addition, after the steel plate is bent and formed, the heat treatment is carried out, the heat treatment deformation is uncontrollable, and the heat treatment cannot be economically controlled or corrected, so the forming size requirement cannot be met.

[0003] When the workpiece is bent, the outer layer of the material fillet area is stretched, and the inner layer is compressed. The smaller the relative bending radius r / t (t is the thickness of the plate), the greater the tangential deformation degree during bending. That is, when the thickness t of the material is constant, the smaller the inner fillet r of the bending, the greater the stretching and compression ratio of the material, and the greater the tensile stress and tensile strain of the outer surface of the deformation zone. When the tensile strain exceeds the limit of the performance of the workpiece material, even cracks or breakage may occur. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the application is to provide a limit bending composite forming method of ultra-high strength plate, which can directly bend and form the ultra-high strength plate into a finished product, and solve the problem of cracks or breakage of the ultra-high strength material during limit bending.

[0021] The following description fully illustrates the specific embodiments of the present application to enable a person skilled in the art to practice and reproduce.

[0022] The specific steps of the limit bending composite forming method of the ultra-high strength plate are as follows:

[0023] Step 1: whole plate heat treatment is performed on the ultra-high strength plate, including: whole plate normalizing, whole plate quenching, and whole plate tempering.

[0024] The ultra-high strength plate adopts 25CrMnSiA steel plate with length, width and height of 2500*1500*5mm, a normalizing process is added through heat treatment, the purpose of whole plate quenching is to obtain martensite structure, improve the hardness and strength of the material, and the whole plate tempering temperature is adjusted to improve the comprehensive performance of the part after heat treatment. After the whole plate heat treatment, the performance reaches the Q690-WJ533-1997 standard, and the Q690 yield strength is above 690MPa.

[0025] The purpose of the whole plate normalizing is to homogenize the structure, refine the grains, and improve the mechanical properties; the heating temperature is 900±10℃, the holding time is 25-30min, and the cooling mode is air cooling, natural cooling.

[0026] The specific process of the whole plate quenching is that the quenching heating temperature is 910±10℃, the quenching holding time is 25-30min, and the cooling mode is water cooling, and the cooling speed is 270-600℃ / s.

[0027] The purpose of the whole plate tempering is to obtain tempered martensite, eliminate the internal stress of the quenched steel, improve the toughness and plasticity, and the specific process of the whole plate tempering is that the heating temperature is 550℃±10, the tempering holding time is 2.5-3.0h, the cooling mode is water cooling, and the cooling speed is 270-600℃ / s.

[0028] Step 2: The ultra-high strength plate after heat treatment is divided into workpiece units 3, and the workpiece units 3 are bent into the required shape by using the low-temperature heating step-by-step bending forming process.

[0029] Step 21: The ultra-high strength plate after heat treatment is sandblasted, corrected, and laser cut to form workpiece units 3.

[0030] The purpose of sandblasting is to remove the iron oxide skin on the surface of the ultra-high strength plate. If the surface state has reached the required standard, sandblasting is not required. The purpose of correction is to correct the deformation that occurs during the heat treatment process to provide preparation work for the subsequent process. The purpose of laser cutting is to cut the ultra-high strength plate into the required size of the workpiece units 3 to provide raw materials for bending.

[0031] Step 22: The workpiece units 3 are bent into the required shape by using the low-temperature heating step-by-step bending forming process.

[0032] (1) Design and manufacture a combined bending die.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , it is a side structure schematic diagram of the upper die 1 in the present application; as shown in Figure 2 , it is a side structure schematic diagram of the lower die 2 in the present application.

[0034] The combined bending die comprises: an upper die 1 and a lower die 2, the upper die 1 and the lower die 2 are used in cooperation, the front end of the upper die 1 is provided with an extrusion end face 11, the rear part is provided with a connecting rod 12, the extrusion end face 11 is an arc surface, the bending radius R of the arc surface is 6 mm, and the connecting rod 12 is used for connecting the extruder; the lower die 2 is provided with a lower die groove 21 in the middle part, the two side surfaces of the lower die groove 21 are perpendicular, and the connecting position of the side surfaces is an arc surface, and the bending radius R of the arc surface is 6 mm.

[0035] (2) The bending forming process adopts a step-by-step bending method, and the purpose of the bending forming is to bend the workpiece units 3 into the required shape.

[0036] As shown in Figure 3 , it is a process schematic diagram of the step-by-step bending forming in the present application.

[0037] The low-temperature heating step-by-step bending forming process is as follows:

[0038] a. Laying lubricating paper on the lower die groove 21 of the lower die 2, placing the workpiece units 3 on the upper part of the lower die groove 21, and laying lubricating paper on the top of the workpiece units 3;

[0039] Selecting appropriate lubricating paper to be laid between the workpiece units 3, the upper die 1 and the lower die 2 to reduce the friction during the bending process, so as to reduce the tensile force suffered by the material.

[0040] b. The extrusion end face 11 of the upper die 1 is pressed against the workpiece 3, and the extrusion end face 11 presses the workpiece 3 downward to bend the workpiece 3 to a first bending angle α1 (in the preferred embodiment, α1 is 120-135°). The initially bent workpiece 3 is subjected to a low-temperature tempering treatment at 420±10°C for 1-1.5 hours to remove the stress generated during the first bending process;

[0041] c. Perform the second bending process, in which the extrusion end face 11 of the upper die 1 rests against the bend of the workpiece monomer 3, and the extrusion end face 11 presses down the workpiece monomer 3, bending the workpiece monomer 3 to the second bending angle α2 (α2 is 90° in this preferred embodiment) to achieve the required shape requirements of the part without cracks or breakage.

[0042] Since the thickness of workpiece 3 is 5mm and the bending radius R is 6mm, which is close to the plate thickness, this is an extreme forming process. Workpiece 3 is made of ultra-high-strength material. During extreme bending, cracks or fractures may occur at the R position, resulting in product failure. A composite forming method combining intermittent bending, heat treatment, and auxiliary (die and lubrication paper) processes achieves a qualified ultra-high-strength extreme bending process, eliminating the problem of cracking or fracture during extreme bending. Parts can include tie rods, welded and stamped parts, and high-strength structural components.

Since the present invention can be embodied in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the technical solution, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Therefore, all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the claims or their equivalents are intended to be covered by the appended claims.
