Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrolytic machining, and particularly relates to an electrolytic machining device and method for the inner wall microstructure of a deep small hole. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of manufacturing aero-engine and gas turbine, the design and manufacture of turbine cooling structure has great significance for strengthening heat exchange effect and improving turbine temperature. As a new type of turbine cooling structure, the periodic microstructure arranged on the inner wall of the turbulent cooling hole can increase the heat exchange area and strengthen the cold gas disturbance, and is a hot and key research object for designing and manufacturing high-performance aero-engine and gas turbine.

[0003] The turbulent cooling hole, i.e. the deep small hole, refers to a hole with a hole diameter of 0.1 to 3.0 mm and a ratio of hole depth to diameter greater than 10. The hole has a small diameter, a large depth-diameter ratio, a special and various hole type, and is usually made of high-temperature alloy, which belongs to a typical difficult-to-machine material extreme size structure and brings severe challenges to the existing manufacturing technology. The traditional hole inner wall microstructure machining methods include laser honing, vibration-assisted cutting, extrusion-ploughing, high-speed liquid-filled spinning and drawing, etc. Due to the large size of the device, the difficulty in preparing the forming tool and the tool damage, etc., the methods are not suitable for the manufacturing process of the turbulent cooling hole. Since electrolytic machining has the characteristics of non-contact, no stress and wide tool electrode design space, scholars at home and abroad still generally regard it as a main breakthrough for realizing the manufacturing of the microstructure on the inner wall of the small hole.

[0004] The current electrolytic machining method for the turbulent cooling hole mainly adopts lateral liquid supply, i.e. the electrolyte flows through the deep small hole to be machined, and the microstructure is transferred on the inner wall of the hole by using a forming cathode. The mass transfer effect of the flow field of this method is poor, and as the machining gap continuously increases, the internal electric field distribution gradually disperses, the stray corrosion is enhanced, and the machining localization is weakened, which affects the machining precision and quality.

[0005] Electrolytic jet machining is to use a simple-shaped electrode (such as a tube electrode) or other special-shaped electrode as a tool cathode, and the electrolyte is sprayed from the inside of the cathode to impact the surface of the workpiece anode. With the scanning movement of the cathode, the tool anode is dissolved by electrochemical reaction to machine a certain shape and feature. The electrolytic jet machining has the characteristics of direct impact of flow field and concentrated restriction of electric field, and can realize high-localized material removal and efficient product removal, and is particularly suitable for precision machining of surface microstructure. However, in the face of the long and closed environment of the deep small hole, high-speed liquid jet will flood the internal space of the small hole and the jet liquid beam, so that the electrolytic jet machining with process advantages cannot be directly used for small hole internal machining.

[0006] Therefore, the application is provided. SUMMARY
