Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of metal processing, in particular to a kind of electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite assisted cutting processing method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Titanium alloy, nickel-based alloy, high-temperature alloy, quenched steel and other functional structural materials are widely used in aviation, civil and other fields due to their superior mechanical and physical properties, but these materials are generally high in strength and hardness, which leads to poor cutting machinability, reducing tool life and workpiece machining quality.

[0003] Patent application No. CN201810193754.1 discloses a hard alloy cutting method based on liquid nitrogen cooling lubrication. The method mixes lubricant with ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen and sprays it onto the cutting tool used in the hard alloy cutting process. This method uses a small amount of lubricant mixed with ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen, which can reduce cutting temperature and improve the friction state between tool and chip. However, the strength of the workpiece material is still high, and the tool chipping wear still exists, which limits the further improvement of tool life and the improvement of workpiece surface quality, and the small amount of lubricant still has an impact on the environment.

[0004] Electric pulse assisted cutting technology can produce electroplastic effect on workpiece material through the coupling of thermal and non-thermal effects, which can reduce the strength and hardness of the workpiece. Moreover, electric pulse can reduce the friction coefficient between tool-chip contact surface through electroplastic effect, reduce the cutting zone temperature, and improve the friction state between tool and chip. Therefore, electric pulse assisted cutting technology can effectively reduce the cutting force of difficult-to-machine materials by 20%-30% during cutting process, improve tool life by 20%-30%, and reduce workpiece surface roughness by 20%-30%. However, in the process of electric pulse assisted cutting of difficult-to-machine materials, the thermal effect can increase the temperature of the workpiece surface material by about 200℃, increasing the cutting temperature between tool and chip. This not only causes the high-temperature strength of the tool to decrease, but also causes the plastic deformation of the tool tip of the hard alloy tool, the peeling of the diamond tool from the hard alloy substrate, and the increase of the high-temperature chemical activity of the workpiece material, which aggravates the adhesive wear, peeling wear and diffusion wear of the tool during cutting process. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite assisted cutting processing method and device, which can improve the friction state between tool and chip, reduce tool temperature, and improve tool life and workpiece surface quality.

If yes, proceed to step S2; otherwise, adjust the electric pulse processing parameters until the real-time temperature T reaches the first temperature threshold T0.

[0009] S2. Start the liquid nitrogen auxiliary unit, measure the real-time temperature T of the workpiece, and determine whether the temperature T is less than or equal to the second temperature threshold T1. If yes, proceed to step S3; otherwise, adjust the electrical pulse parameters until the real-time temperature T is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold T1.

[0010] S3. Measure the cutting force signal during the cutting process and calculate the friction coefficient value μ between the chip and the tool rake face. Determine whether the friction coefficient value μ is between the upper threshold μ1 and the lower threshold μ2. If so, continue cutting and measure the cutting force signal in real time during the cutting process. Repeat step S3 until the machining is completed. Otherwise, adjust the liquid nitrogen machining parameters until the friction coefficient value is between the upper threshold μ1 and the lower threshold μ2.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0012] In step S3, the friction coefficient μ between the chip and the tool rake face is calculated using equation (Ⅰ).

[0013]

[0040] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A kind of electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite auxiliary cutting processing method of the application, comprising the following steps:

[0041] S1, install workpiece 4, open electric pulse auxiliary unit, measure the real-time temperature T of workpiece 4, judge whether temperature T reaches first temperature threshold T0 (the embodiment is 60 ℃), if yes, execute step S2, otherwise adjust electric pulse processing parameter until the real-time temperature T reaches first temperature threshold T0;

[0044] The electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite auxiliary cutting processing method of the application, by electric pulse composite liquid nitrogen cooling auxiliary cutting technology, by controlling electric pulse, liquid nitrogen related process parameters, the influence of workpiece 4 surface layer temperature on the temperature of tool-chip contact surface, with the friction coefficient of tool-chip contact surface as a closed-loop feedback index, not only can reduce the strength of workpiece, soften workpiece, but also can maximize the friction state between tool-chip, reduce tool temperature, reduce workpiece surface roughness, improve tool 6 life and workpiece 4 surface quality, clean and environmental protection.

[0045] In the step S3, the friction coefficient value μ of chip and the rake face of tool (6) is calculated by formula (I):

[0046]

[0047] where is the tool rake angle, Fy is the axial component of the cutting force, and Fz is the tangential component of the cutting force.

[0048] As shown in Figures 3 to 5 The electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite assisted cutting device of the embodiment comprises an electric pulse assisting unit, a machine tool unit 2, the electric pulse assisting unit comprising an electric pulse power supply 1, a first electric brush 3 and a second electric brush 9, the first electric brush 3 and the second electric brush 9 being connected with the electric pulse power supply 1 respectively, the first electric brush 3 and the second electric brush 9 being oppositely arranged on the machine tool unit 2, a workpiece 4 being installed between the first electric brush 3 and the second electric brush 9, the machine tool unit 2 comprising a tool 6 for cutting the workpiece 4, the electric pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite assisted cutting device further comprising a liquid nitrogen assisting unit and a main control unit 11, a dynamometer 7 for measuring a cutting force signal and a temperature sensor 5 for measuring a real-time temperature during cutting being installed on the machine tool unit 2, the liquid nitrogen assisting unit being used for applying liquid nitrogen to rake faces and flank faces of the tool 6 of the machine tool unit 2, the main control unit 11 adjusting electric pulse parameters of the electric pulse power supply 1 and liquid nitrogen processing parameters of the liquid nitrogen assisting unit after receiving and processing output data of the temperature sensor 5 and the dynamometer 7.

If yes, execute step S3, otherwise adjust the electric pulse parameters until the real-time temperature T is less than or equal to the first temperature threshold 200℃.

[0061] In this embodiment, during the cutting process, the main control unit 11 receives the temperature signal of the workpiece 4 measured by the infrared temperature sensor 5.

The third measurement and judgment module is used to measure the cutting force signal during the cutting process and calculate the friction coefficient value μ of the chip and the rake face of the tool (6). It judges whether the friction coefficient value μ is between the upper threshold μ1 and the lower threshold μ2. If so, it continues to cut and measures the cutting force signal during the cutting process in real time until the machining is completed. Otherwise, it adjusts the liquid nitrogen machining parameters until the friction coefficient value is between the upper threshold μ1 and the lower threshold μ2.

10. A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, characterized in that, The computer program is used to be programmed or configured by a microprocessor to perform the electro-pulse-liquid nitrogen cooling composite assisted cutting method according to any one of claims 1 to 3.
