TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aero-engine compressor rotor assembly welding, and relates to a process method for improving the size qualification rate of dissimilar material welding of a compressor rotor assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] The compressor rotor assembly is a very important component in an aero-engine, and is generally welded by multiple compressor disks. The working environment of the compressor rotor assembly is extremely harsh, and the compressor rotor assembly needs to withstand a working temperature of more than 600 DEG C and a high-speed rotation of more than 10,000 rpm per minute. Since the compressor assembly needs to withstand high-speed rotation, the manufacturing precision of the compressor assembly is required to be extremely strict. Once the manufacturing precision exceeds the size requirement of the design drawing, the dynamic balance level of the compressor assembly will be reduced, and thus vibration and other problems of the compressor rotor at a high-speed rotation will occur.
[0003] The prior art adopts an inertia friction welding method to weld multiple high-temperature alloy compressor disks of the same kind into a whole compressor rotor assembly. With the performance improvement of the aero-engine, the temperature gradient of the working environment of the compressor rotor assembly becomes large, and the compressor rotor assembly of the same kind of high-temperature alloy cannot withstand the high temperature gradient environment. Therefore, multiple high-temperature alloy compressor disks with different temperature resistance capabilities need to be welded into a compressor rotor assembly, that is, a dissimilar material compressor rotor assembly. The dissimilar high-temperature alloy welding encounters a difficult-to-solve problem. Since the dissimilar material welding deformation is large, the manufacturing precision of the dissimilar material inertia friction welding compressor rotor assembly exceeds the size precision required by the design drawing, and thus the size qualification rate of the dissimilar material inertia friction welding compressor rotor assembly is only 40%, which seriously affects the manufacturing capacity of the part.
[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, it is urgent to develop a process method for effectively improving the size qualification rate of the dissimilar material inertia friction welding of the aero-engine compressor rotor assembly. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide a process method for improving the size qualification rate of dissimilar material welding of a compressor rotor assembly. Even if the offset caused by the axial direction welding deformation of the compressor single disk web is large, the remaining machining allowance will not be exceeded, and the compressor rotor assembly meeting the part size drawing precision can be machined after the machining after welding.
[0006] The present application provides a process method for improving the size qualification rate of dissimilar material welding of a compressor rotor assembly, wherein the compressor rotor assembly is composed of multiple compressor disks welded together, and the process method comprises the following steps.

Define the compressor disc of this material as a compressor disc with larger deformation;
[0015] Step 9: For inertia friction welding of multi-stage compressor discs of large quantities of different materials, design a welding structure diagram according to the compressor part drawing, and according to the recorded compressor discs with larger welding deformation, reserve a machining allowance d at the web of the compressor disc. Process the compressor discs of each number to be welded according to the welding structure diagram;

[0017] Step 11: During the welding process, the spindle drives the compressor disc clamped on the spindle end to rotate. When the rotational speed reaches the required value, the tailstock upset oil cylinder applies welding pressure to the tailstock, so that the two compressor discs are in contact, a hot plastic metal layer is formed on the welding surface, and a welding flash is formed. Complete the welding to form a compressor assembly;
[0018] Step 12: remove the inner and outer flash of the compressor assembly by high-precision vertical lathe machining, remove 90% of the remaining amount at the bottom of the inner cavity, reserve 10% of the remaining amount to compensate for the dimensional change caused by welding deformation, and process the welding boss at the welding position of the compressor assembly,

[0020] Step 14: if the web of the compressor disc of the previous stage reserves a machining allowance d, step 15 is performed, otherwise, step 16 is directly performed;
[0021] Step 15: measure the actual distance L' between the web end face of the compressor disc of the previous stage and the bottom face of the mounting edge of the reference disc using a height gauge, compare L' with the theoretical distance L of the part drawing, calculate the web deviation ΔL of the compressor disc of the previous stage = L'-L; according to ΔL, reconstruct the actual deformation drawing of the web, compare the actual deformation drawing with the part drawing, check the difference between the profile of the deformed web and the profile of the part drawing, and ensure the machining quality;
[0022] Step 16: process to remove the welding flash of the new compressor assembly, and process to remove the machining allowance of the web of the compressor disc of the previous stage;
[0023] Step 17: repeat steps 13-16 until all the compressor discs to be welded are completed.
[0024] Further, the plurality of compressor discs of the same material and different stages in step 1 only need to process the compressor disc of the largest stage for welding test.

[0065] The implementation process of the present application is described below through two embodiments.
[0066] Embodiment 1
[0067] The compressor rotor assembly of different materials in this embodiment is composed of 9 stages of compressor discs. The 7th-9th stage compressor discs need to be welded and processed. In this embodiment, the 7th stage compressor disc is GH4169, the 8th stage compressor disc is GH4065A, and the 9th stage compressor disc is FGH96. The welding process method includes the following steps:
[0068] Step 1: Before mass welding, multiple welding tests need to be carried out to accumulate the deformation degree of the compressor disc after welding of different materials. The welding structure diagram is designed according to the compressor part drawing of different materials, Figure 1 as shown in the schematic diagram of the compressor parts of different materials, Figure 2 as shown in the schematic diagram of the welding test before welding. The webs 6 of all the compressor discs in the welding test stage are not reserved with an allowance.
[0069] Step 2: As shown in Figure 2As shown, the 9th stage compressor disc 1 is taken as the reference disc, the reference disc is clamped at the tailstock end of the inertia friction welding machine, the outer circular surface 10 of the reference disc is clamped by the clamping tool, the side surface of the reference disc in contact with the tool is the tailstock upset surface 11, the welding surface 9 of the 8th stage compressor disc is butt welded with the welding surface 12 of the reference disc, the 8th stage compressor disc is installed at the main shaft end of the welding machine, the outer circular surface 8 of the 8th stage compressor disc is clamped by the clamping tool, the side surface of the 8th stage compressor disc 2 in contact with the tool is the first main shaft upset surface 13, the welding pressure applied to the compressor disc by the first main shaft upset surface 13 and the tailstock upset surface 11 should be in the same axis as the first welding surface 9 and the second welding surface 12.
[0070] Step 3: input the welding parameters in the inertia friction welding machine, start the welding machine to begin welding, in the welding process, the 8th stage compressor disc 2 rotates driven by the main shaft, when the rotating speed reaches the required value, the tailstock upset cylinder applies the welding pressure to the tailstock, so that the 9th stage compressor disc 1 and the 8th stage compressor disc 2 are in contact at the welding surface, a hot plastic metal layer is generated at the welding surface and a flash is formed, the welding is completed, and the 9+8 stage compressor assembly is formed, as shown in Figure 3 .
[0071] Step 4: measure the distance l1 between the installation edge bottom surface 15 of the reference disc and the web end surface 14 using the height gauge, l1=90.1mm, compare l1 with the theoretical distance 90.05mm in the part drawing, and calculate that the web deviation is 0.05mm.
[0072] Step 5: process a welding boss 16 at one side of the to-be-welded part of the 9+8 stage compressor assembly, and form a fourth welding surface 17, as shown in Figure 4 .
[0073] Step 6: install the 9+8 stage compressor assembly to the tailstock end of the inertia friction welding machine, the outer circular surface of the 9+8 stage compressor assembly is clamped by the clamping tool, the side surface of the reference disc in contact with the tool is the tailstock upset surface, install the 7th stage compressor disc 1 at the main shaft end of the inertia friction welding machine, the outer circular surface 4 of the 7th stage compressor disc is clamped by the clamping tool, the side surface of the 7th stage compressor disc 1 in contact with the tool is the second main shaft upset surface 5, the welding pressure applied to the compressor disc by the second main shaft upset surface 5 and the tailstock upset surface 11 should be in the same axis as the third welding surface 7 and the fourth welding surface 17.
[0074] Step 7: the welding process is the same as step 3, after the welding is completed, the 9+7 stage compressor assembly is formed, measure the actual distance l2 between the web end surface of the 8th stage compressor disc and the installation edge bottom surface 15 of the reference disc using the height gauge, l2=132.6mm, compare l2 with the theoretical distance 133.3mm in the part drawing, and calculate that the web deviation of the 8th stage compressor disc is 0.7mm, as shown in Figure 5 .
[0075] Step 8: Repeat steps 5-7 until all the compressor discs of all materials are tested for welding, obtain the web deviation of all the compressor discs of all materials, and record the compressor discs with web deviation greater than ±0.5mm, and define the compressor disc of this material as the compressor disc with large deformation.
[0076] Through the above welding test, it is found that the deformation of the 8th stage GH4065A compressor disc exceeds the precision of the part drawing, and it is the compressor disc material with large welding deformation. In mass welding, a pre-welding structure different from the prior art is designed for the compressor disc with welding deformation exceeding ±0.5mm, so as to ensure the qualified rate of the final size precision of the part.
[0077] Step 9: For the inertia friction welding of multi-stage compressor discs of different materials in mass production, according to the compressor part drawing, a welding structure diagram is designed, and a machining allowance d=1.0mm is reserved at the web of the 8th stage compressor disc recorded as the compressor disc with large welding deformation, Figure 6 a web with allowance 18 as shown in FIG. 8, and the compressor discs of all stages to be welded are machined according to the welding structure diagram, as shown in FIG. 9. Figure 6
[0078] The technical problem solved by this design is that even if the web of the compressor single disc is greatly deviated in the axial direction due to welding deformation, it will not exceed the reserved machining allowance, and after machining after welding, the compressor rotor assembly meeting the part drawing can be machined, thereby improving the size qualified rate of the compressor rotor assembly of different materials by inertia friction welding, and the range of the machining allowance is determined according to the minimum value Δδ≥0.3mm of the difference between the profile of the deformed web and the profile of the part drawing, so as to ensure that the web has machining allowance on the whole profile and ensure good machining surface quality, and at the same time, not increasing the machining allowance too much is beneficial to providing machining efficiency. For the welding structure of the material with small welding deformation, no machining allowance is reserved at the web, and the beneficial effect of this design is that the web at this position is not machined after welding, thereby reducing the machining workload and improving the production efficiency.
[0079] Step 10: Refer to step 2, the 9th stage compressor disc is used as the reference disc, and the reference disc is clamped on the tailstock end of the inertia friction welding machine. Generally, the material of the highest stage compressor disc has less welding deformation, so it does not need to reserve a margin at the web. The outer circular surface of the reference disc is clamped by the clamping tool, and the side surface of the reference disc that contacts the tool is the tailstock upset surface. The 8th stage compressor disc is butt welded with the reference disc at the welding surface. The 8th stage compressor disc is installed on the spindle end of the welding machine. The outer circular surface of the 8th stage compressor disc is clamped by the clamping tool, and the side surface of the 8th stage compressor disc that contacts the tool is the spindle upset surface. The welding pressure applied to the compressor disc by the spindle upset surface and the tailstock upset surface should be on the same axis as the welding surface. The welding parameters are input in the inertia friction welding machine, and the welding machine is started to begin welding.
[0080] Step 11: During the welding process, the 8th stage compressor disc is rotated by the spindle. When the rotational speed reaches the required value, the tailstock upset cylinder applies welding pressure to the tailstock, so that the reference disc and the 8th stage compressor disc are in contact at the welding surface. A hot plastic metal layer is generated at the welding surface and a welding flash 19 is formed. The welding is completed, and a 9+8 stage compressor assembly is formed, as shown in Figure 7 .
[0081] Step 12: The welding flash 19 of the completed 9+8 stage compressor assembly is removed by high-precision vertical machining. 90% of the excess amount 20 at the bottom of the inner cavity is removed, and 10% of the excess amount is reserved to compensate for the dimensional changes caused by welding deformation. A welding boss is machined on one side of the welding site of the 9+8 stage compressor assembly, as shown in Figure 7 and 8 .
[0082] Step 13: Refer to step 6, the 9+8 stage compressor assembly is installed on the tailstock end of the inertia friction welding machine, and the 7th stage compressor disc is installed on the spindle end of the inertia friction welding machine. The welding process is the same as step 11. A hot plastic metal layer is generated at the welding surface and a welding flash is formed. The welding is completed to form a 9+7 stage compressor assembly, as shown in Figure 9 .
[0083] Step 14: At this time, it is determined whether the web of the 8th stage compressor disc has a machining margin d reserved, i.e., whether the 8th stage compressor disc belongs to a compressor disc with a large variable. If yes, step 15 is performed, otherwise, step 16 is directly performed.
[0084] Step 15: measure the actual distance l3 = 132.6mm between the web end face of the compressor disc of the 8th stage and the installation edge bottom face of the reference disc using a height gauge, compare 132.6mm with the theoretical distance 133.3mm in the part drawing, calculate the web deviation of the compressor disc of the 8th stage as 0.7; reconstruct the actual deformation drawing of the web according to the web deviation, compare the actual deformation drawing with the part drawing, check the difference D between the profile contour of the deformed web and the profile contour of the part drawing, and ensure the machining quality;
[0085] Step 16: remove the welding flash 36 of the compressor discs of the 8th stage and the 7th stage, and remove the machining allowance 37 of the web of the compressor disc of the 8th stage, as shown in Figure 10 .
[0086] Step 17: repeat steps 13-16 until all the compressor discs to be welded are completed.
[0087] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the idea of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.

Step 13: Refer to Step 6 to clamp the next level compressor disc and compressor assembly onto the inertial friction welding machine. The welding process is the same as in Step 11. A thermoplastic metal layer is generated on the welding surface and welding flash is formed. The welding is completed to form a new compressor assembly. Step 14: If a machining allowance d is reserved at the web of the compressor plate of the previous stage, proceed to step 15; otherwise, proceed directly to step 16. Step 15: Use a height gauge to measure the actual distance L between the web end face of the compressor disc of the next higher stage and the bottom surface of the mounting edge of the reference disc. ' , will L ' Compare the theoretical distance L from the part drawing to calculate the web deviation ΔL = L of the compressor disk of the next higher level. ' -L; Reconstruct the actual deformation drawing of the web plate according to ΔL, compare the actual deformation drawing with the part drawing, check the difference between the outer contour of the deformed web plate and the outer contour of the part drawing, and ensure the machining quality. Step 16: Remove the welding flash from the new compressor assembly and remove the machining allowance from the web of the compressor disc of the previous stage. Step 17: Repeat steps 13-16 until all compressor discs to be welded have been welded.
