Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of radial expansion casing machining, and more particularly, to a machining process for the flow channel of a radial expansion casing. Furthermore, this invention also relates to an abrasive flow machining fixture used in the radial expansion casing flow channel machining process. Background Technology

[0002] The radial expansion casing of an aero engine is made of titanium alloy forgings, such as... Figure 1 The radial expansion casing has 23 closed flow channels circumferentially. These channels are arc-shaped with a minimum wall thickness of only 1.7mm, making machining difficult. The channel depth is 218mm, resulting in poor accessibility during machining, as machining tools struggle to penetrate the entire channel. Furthermore, high precision is required for the channel profile and surface roughness; the profile requirement is 0.06mm, and the surface roughness of the blade and upper and lower flow channels is Ra0.8mm. Due to these reasons, precision electrical discharge machining (EDM) is typically used to machine the flow channels of the radial expansion casing. However, because the part is made of titanium alloy TA19, which has a low thermal conductivity compared to other metals, the metal may not fully melt before being ejected from the flow channel or solidify within it, leading to unstable machining conditions. This is especially problematic when machining cavities with large widths and depths, where the generated material is difficult to remove effectively, easily resulting in arcing defects. This leads to low machining efficiency, high electrode wear, poor surface quality, and poor manufacturability.

[0003] like Figure 1 As described above, a first tangent line is drawn along the farthest point of the lower flow channel. At the same time, a first parallel line parallel to the first tangent line and a second parallel line parallel to the upper flow channel outlet point are drawn. The distance between the first tangent line and the first parallel line is A, and the distance between the first tangent line and the second parallel line is B. Since B is greater than A, and the second parallel line does not pass through the flow channel, it is difficult to directly process the flow channel through a one-dimensional moving electrode, resulting in a difficult and complex flow channel processing problem.

[0050] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different ways as defined and covered below.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the machining process for the flow channel of the radial expansion casing in this embodiment is used to machine the flow channel 101 on the radial expansion casing 100, and includes the following steps:

[0052] S100, a blank channel 104 is formed by machining a groove on the radial expansion casing 100;

[0053] S200, design the first roughing electrode 200, and extend the first roughing electrode 200 vertically from the outlet of the blank channel 104 to perform the initial processing of the blank channel 104, complete the removal of part of the excess in the blank channel 104, so as to form the initial processing flow channel.

[0054] S300, the second rough machining electrode 201 is designed, the upper profile 102 of the runner 101 in the design size state is offset by 0.4-0.5 mm in the horizontal direction to the lower profile 103 of the runner 101 to form the upper profile of the second rough machining electrode, the lower profile 103 of the runner 101 in the design size state is offset by 0.5 mm in the horizontal direction to the upper profile 102 of the runner 101 to form the lower profile of the second rough machining electrode 201, and the designed second rough machining electrode is extended into the primary machining runner and is controlled to move in two dimensions along the runner 101 by the mechanical hand, and a machining allowance of 0.3-0.5 mm is reserved to form the rough machining runner;

[0055] S400, the rough machining runner 1 processed by the electrode in step S300 is electrolytically machined to form the runner 101 reaching the design size requirement;

[0056] S500, the radial expansion machine case 100 is clamped by the abrasive grain flow clamp, and the roughness of the runner 101 is processed to Ra0.8 by the abrasive grain flow.

[0057] In the embodiment, for step S100, the drilling machine is used to machine the blank passage 104 at the runner 101 of the radial expansion machine case 100, the blank passage 104 is used to remove the machining allowance of the runner 101 as much as possible before the electrical machining, and the machining allowance is reserved relatively uniformly on both sides of the runner 101, and the machining is carried out through the entire runner 101, so that the subsequent electrical machining of the runner 101 is facilitated.

[0058] For step S200, when the electrode is used for electrical spark machining, the material of the electrode is graphite, and the motor is selected according to the machining state to ensure that the rough machining runner 101 can reserve a machining allowance of 0.3-0.5 mm after rough machining, which can ensure the machining accuracy of the subsequent semi-finishing and reduce the machining time of the subsequent semi-finishing and improve the machining efficiency.

[0059] For step S300, the profile of the second rough machining electrode 201 is consistent with the profile of the runner 101, and the size is obtained by narrowing the runner 101 inward by 0.4-0.5 mm, at this time, the second rough machining electrode 201 is two-dimensionally moved along the profile of the runner 101, and then the blank passage 104 is machined into the rough machining runner 101 with the profile of the runner 101, and the rough machining runner 101 reserves a machining allowance of 0.3-0.5 mm. In this way, the subsequent semi-finishing has sufficient cutting error, and the operability of the semi-finishing is improved.

[0060] For step S500, the abrasive grain flow clamp can clamp the radial expansion machine case 100, and can guide the abrasive grain flow to process the roughness of the runner 101 to Ra0.8.

[0061] Specifically, first, the blank channel 104 is opened by machining to remove most of the excess before electrode processing, and then the blank channel 104 is sequentially rough machined, semi-finished machined and finished machined by the electrode spark to process the runner 101 to the designed size, and the surface roughness in the runner 101 is machined to Ra1.6, and finally the surface of the runner 101 is finally machined by abrasive flow to process the surface of the runner 101 to a surface roughness of Ra0.8.

[0062] In specific implementation, first, the blank channel 104 of the runner 101 is opened in the runner 101 of the radial expansion machine case 100 by machining means, so that metal residues can be immediately discharged during subsequent electrode correction processing, and the electrode processing time can be shortened to improve processing efficiency. Then, the first rough machining electrode 200 is designed to rough machine the runner 101 to remove most of the excess at the outlet, and then the second rough machining electrode 201 is designed and moved along the designed shape of the runner 101 in two dimensions to process the blank channel 104 into the initial processing runner 101 with the profile of the runner 101, and to leave a machining allowance of 0.3-0.5mm for the rough machining runner 101. Then, semi-finished machining is performed by electrode to further reduce the machining allowance of the runner 101, so that the machining allowance is left to 0.1-0.15mm, and then the electrode is moved along the designed shape of the runner 101 in two dimensions to finish machine the runner 101, so that the runner 101 reaches the design size requirement and the surface roughness of the runner 101 is machined to Ra1.6. Finally, the surface of the runner 101 is polished by abrasive flow to further improve the roughness of the surface of the runner 101 to Ra0.8.

[0063] In summary, the blank channel 104 opened by machining solves the problem that metal residues are difficult to discharge by directly using the electrode to process, and can shorten the electrode processing time to improve processing efficiency. Then, the electrode processing is divided into three processes of rough machining-semi-finished machining-finished machining to reduce the difficulty of one-time machining, improve the accuracy during machining, and enable the electrode to move in two dimensions along the designed shape of the runner 101, solving the problem that the runner 101 channel is difficult to be directly machined by the one-dimensional electrode in the prior art. Finally, the surface of the runner 101 is polished by abrasive flow to solve the problem of poor surface quality after electrode processing.

[0064] Further, the step S100 includes the following steps:

[0065] S101, using a drill to drill the pre-processed runner 101 of the radial expansion machine case 100 in the designed size state to process a blank channel 104 with a diameter of 6.4-6.6mm;

[0066] S102, using a lathe to turn the outlet of the blank passage 104, and process a horn mouth 105 with an opening angle of 25°.

[0067] In the present embodiment, for step S101, a drill press is used to process the flow passage 101 of the radial expansion machine case 100, and a blank passage 104 is opened, which is prepared for subsequent electrode processing. The blank passage 104 is processed according to the structural characteristics of the flow passage 101, and the flow passage 101 is processed as much as possible before electro-processing, and the flow passage 101 is processed uniformly on both sides, and the entire flow passage 101 is processed, so that the subsequent electro-processing of the flow passage 101 is facilitated.

[0068] For step S102, since the outlet of the flow passage 101 is also horn-shaped, gradually expanding from the inlet end to the outlet end, by directly turning the contour of the outlet of the flow passage 101 using a lathe, the workload of subsequent electrode processing can be reduced, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0069] Further, the step S200 includes the following steps:

[0070] S201, designing a first rough machining electrode, the outlet point of the upper contour 102 of the flow passage 101 in the design size state is tangent to a first tangent line, and the upper contour 102 of the flow passage 101 is offset by 0.5mm along the horizontal direction to the lower flow passage 101 with the first tangent line as the starting end, to form the upper contour of the first rough machining electrode; a vertical line is drawn on the lower contour 103 of the flow passage 101 in the design size state, and a turning point where the vertical line intersects with one point and two points of the upper contour 102 of the flow passage 101 is found, the vertical line passing through the turning point is a second tangent line, and the part of the lower contour 103 of the flow passage 101 intersecting with the second tangent line is offset by 0.4-0.5mm along the horizontal direction to the upper flow passage 101 with the second tangent line as the starting end, to form the lower contour 103 of the first rough machining electrode;

[0071] S202, the designed first rough machining electrode 200 is inserted into the blank passage 104 and moved along the vertical direction by a mechanical hand to perform the initial processing of the blank passage 104, and the removal of the part of the flow passage 101 is completed to form the initial processing flow passage.

[0072] In the present embodiment, the first rough machining electrode 200 is used to process the outlet end of the blank passage 104 with a large amount of processing, and the lower contour of the first rough machining electrode 200 is a one-dimensional motion in the vertical direction to remove the contour of the flow passage 101.

[0073] For step S201 and step S202, the design of the first rough machining electrode 200 can be such that the first rough machining electrode 200 directly performs spark machining by extending into the flow channel 101 at the outlet in the vertical direction, to complete the large amount of cutting of the outlet end of the flow channel 101 and improve the machining efficiency.

[0074] Further, the step S300 further includes: moving the second rough machining electrode in the horizontal direction in the rough machining flow channel by the mechanical hand control, and reserving a machining allowance of 0.1-0.15 mm to complete the semi-finishing of the flow channel 101 to form a semi-finished flow channel.

[0075] In the embodiment, the semi-finishing is still operated by the second rough machining electrode 201, the movement of the second rough machining electrode 201 is driven by setting the movement parameters of the mechanical hand, and the machining allowance of 0.1-0.15 mm is reserved after machining, so that the semi-finishing can reduce the workload of the electrode in subsequent finishing and improve the machining efficiency.

[0076] Referring to Figures 4-5 , further, the step S400 includes the following steps:

[0077] S401, design the first finishing electrode, offset the upper profile 102 of the flow channel 101 in the design size state in the horizontal direction towards the lower profile 103 of the flow channel 101 by 0.1 mm to form the upper profile of the first finishing electrode, and offset the lower profile 103 of the flow channel 101 in the design size state in the horizontal direction towards the upper flow channel 101 by 0.1 mm to form the lower profile of the first finishing electrode;

[0078] S402, the first finishing electrode is designed to perform primary finishing on the semi-finished flow channel, so that the surface roughness of the flow channel 101 is machined to Ra1.6 to form a finished flow channel;

[0079] S403, design the second finishing electrode 300, the second finishing electrode is provided with a chamfer groove 301, and the profile of the chamfer groove 301 matches the round corner at the inlet of the flow channel 101 in the design state;

[0080] S404, the upper profile 102 and the lower profile 103 of the inlet end of the finished flow channel are chamfered by the second finishing electrode 300 to form the flow channel 101 that meets the design size requirements.

[0081] In the embodiment, the profile of the first finishing electrode is consistent with the profile of the flow channel 101, and the size is obtained by narrowing inwardly by 0.1 mm of the flow channel 101, the first finishing electrode is processed along the profile of the flow channel 101 to move in two dimensions, the flow channel 101 is processed to the designed size, at the same time, the surface roughness of the flow channel 101 is processed to Ra1.6, and then the second finishing electrode 300 is used to open the fillet at the top end of the inlet of the flow channel 101. The fillet at the inlet reduces the resistance of the gas entering when the diffuser casing is used, and on the other hand, it is convenient for the subsequent abrasive flow to enter the flow channel 101 to grind the flow channel 101.

[0082] Further, the step S500 comprises the following steps:

[0083] S501, the radial diffuser casing 100 after the flow channel 101 is finished is installed on the abrasive flow clamp, and the radial diffuser casing 100 is fixed axially, circumferentially and radially relative to the abrasive flow clamp;

[0084] S502, the abrasive flow is injected into the flow channel 101, and the pressure of the abrasive, the volume of the abrasive per stroke and the cycle number are set to ensure that the roughness of the flow channel 101 after being ground by the abrasive is processed to Ra0.8.

[0085] In the embodiment, after the radial diffuser casing 100 is fixed by the abrasive flow clamp, the flow channel 101 is repeatedly ground by the abrasive, so that the surface roughness of the flow channel 101 reaches the design requirement Ra0.8, the abrasive pressure is set to 200-210PSI, the volume of the abrasive per stroke is the containing volume of the flow channel 101, and the cycle number is obtained by dividing the total amount to be ground by the grinding amount of each abrasive flow.

[0086] As shown in Figure 7 , the abrasive grains enter from the inclined circular arc through slot on the part cover plate 402, are introduced into the part flow channel 101 through the inclined 60° inclined port of the support block 502, pass through the part flow channel 101, then enter the impeller 603 from the outlet of the flow channel 101, and are guided to the equipment abrasive storage tank through the impeller 603 to complete a cycle.
