Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of light metal plastic processing and increasing mechanical properties, and particularly relates to a device and method for preparing fine-grained magnesium alloy pipe by multi-edge reverse roller rolling-twisting-extrusion. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, magnesium and magnesium alloys have been widely concerned due to their unique and excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, and are currently the lightest metal structural materials. Due to the excellent performance characteristics of magnesium and magnesium alloys, such as low density, light weight, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, high specific strength and specific stiffness, good electromagnetic shielding performance, excellent machining performance, in addition, magnesium and magnesium alloys are easy to recycle, so they have excellent application prospects and have been widely used in military, aerospace and digital electronic products. At the same time, high-performance magnesium alloy thin-walled pipes, as a kind of hollow profile, are widely used in the fields of national defense and transportation, and are an important magnesium alloy structural part, which can replace aluminum alloy and other metal thin-walled parts to achieve the effect of weight reduction and energy saving. However, due to the crystal structure defects of magnesium and magnesium alloys, such as: magnesium is a close-packed hexagonal structure, has few independent slip systems that can be started, is difficult to deform, and has poor room temperature mechanical properties; in addition, magnesium is a lively metal, is easy to react and oxidize, and has poor corrosion resistance, which greatly limits the popularization and application of magnesium and magnesium alloys. Therefore, only the production and processing of magnesium alloy materials with good comprehensive mechanical properties can broaden their application range.

[0003] According to the current research status, in order to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of magnesium alloys, two ways are mainly used, which are alloying and grain refinement. Alloying refers to adding one or more elements to the common magnesium alloy through melting, so as to improve the strength and hardness of the magnesium alloy. However, due to the need to add alloying elements or rare earth elements in the alloying melting process, the cost is high. Severe plastic deformation is a main way of grain refinement, which can overcome the shortcomings of traditional processing methods, refine the grain size of the material to sub-micron or even nanometer, and obtain excellent comprehensive mechanical properties. Common severe plastic deformation methods include equal channel angular extrusion, high pressure torsion and accumulative roll bonding, etc. These severe plastic deformation methods have their own characteristics. Equal channel angular extrusion is the most widely used method at present, the shape and size of the sample do not change before and after extrusion, and the sample can be repeatedly extruded to accumulate a large amount of plastic deformation, but the single extrusion deformation is small; high pressure torsion can prepare thin sheet samples with smaller grain size, but the sample size is small and the organization is not uniform. In summary, many severe plastic deformation methods have many technical problems and deficiencies. Therefore, it is very important to invent an effective device and method for weakening the deformation texture of magnesium alloy and refining the grain, which can expand the application range of magnesium alloy.

The materials and chemical reagents used are: AZ31 magnesium alloy block blank, with a diameter d=50mm; sandpaper: SiC, 600 mesh, 2 pieces; 1000 mesh, 2 pieces; 1200 mesh, 2 pieces; 2500 mesh, 2 pieces; high-temperature graphite oil solution: C, 500g; anhydrous ethanol: CH3CH2OH, 1200ml; acetone: C3H6O, 800ml.

[0084] 2) differential speed rotating extrusion process: open the left extrusion pressure ring, and extrude the magnesium alloy pipe blank pre-placed in the cavity of the extrusion die. The magnesium alloy pipe blank enters the irregular shear extrusion channel from the left extrusion channel under the action of the left extrusion pressure ring. The diameter of the magnesium alloy pipe blank gradually increases and then gradually decreases to the initial size with the shape of the inner die, and the wall thickness changes continuously. Under the action of the shear force generated by the differential rotation of the intermediate inner rotating extrusion cylinder and the upper and lower outer rotating extrusion cylinder in opposite directions, the flow rate of the blank is different, multiple shear deformations occur, the grain structure is refined, and the c-axis of the grain is inclined to weaken the basal plane texture; when the left extrusion pressure ring completely enters the left extrusion channel of the extrusion die, the left extrusion telescopic pressure ring stops advancing; open the right extrusion telescopic pressure ring, and extrude the magnesium alloy pipe blank placed in the cavity of the extrusion die. The magnesium alloy pipe blank enters the irregular differential speed rotating extrusion channel from the right extrusion channel under the action of the right extrusion pressure ring. The diameter of the magnesium alloy pipe blank gradually increases and then gradually decreases to the initial state with the shape of the inner die, and the wall thickness changes continuously. Under the differential speed reverse extrusion action of the inner and outer extrusion cylinders, multiple shear deformations occur again, the grain structure is continuously refined, and the basal plane texture is continuously weakened. The cycle is repeated to obtain high-performance ultra-fine-grained magnesium alloy pipe.

[0085] Through the above principles, the magnesium alloy pipe blank finally undergoes a large amount of shear extrusion deformation to obtain a weak basal plane texture high-performance magnesium alloy pipe.

Any changes or replacements easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.

Place the magnesium alloy tube (36) at the inlet of the left extrusion channel (18), then fix the left and right extrusion rings, start the power device, and make the upper and lower outer rotating extrusion cylinders and the inner rotating extrusion cylinder (25) rotate in the opposite direction under the drive of the transmission shaft; start the left pressure motor (11), and the magnesium alloy tube (36) passes through the left extrusion channel (18), the differential rotating extrusion channel, and the right extrusion channel (27) in sequence under the action of the left extrusion ring (17). The angle between the channel walls on both sides of the differential rotating extrusion channel and the horizontal direction is different, and the extrusion channel gradually thins. The diameters on both sides of the inner rotating extrusion cylinder (25) are smaller than the diameter of the middle part. After the magnesium alloy tube (36) enters the extrusion channel, the tube diameter first increases and then decreases to restore the original tube diameter; in the rotating differential extrusion channel section In the first stage, the magnesium alloy tube (36) is rotated and extruded under the influence of friction. Since the friction coefficients of the outer walls of the upper and lower outer rotating extrusion cylinders and the inner rotating extrusion cylinder (25) are different, the inner and outer walls of the magnesium alloy tube (36) are subjected to opposite radial friction forces of different magnitudes when passing through the differential rotating extrusion channel, resulting in shear deformation. When the magnesium alloy tube (36) completes the left extrusion and reaches the right extrusion channel (27), the left pressure motor (11) is turned off and the right pressure motor (38) is turned on. Under the action of the right extrusion ring (29), the magnesium alloy tube (36) moves to the left and passes through the differential rotating extrusion channel again. This process is repeated. After several cycles, the right pressure motor (38) and the right extrusion ring (29) are removed, and the fine-grained magnesium alloy tube is removed from the discharge port. S4-2. Take out the magnesium alloy tube (36) obtained in step S4-1, polish its surface with sandpaper, clean the magnesium alloy tube with the cleaning solution prepared in step S1-2, clean it a second time with anhydrous ethanol, and dry it with a hair dryer to obtain a fine-grained weak-textured magnesium alloy tube that can be put into use directly.
