Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of welding, heat treatment and deformation control, in particular to an outer flame channel and a manufacturing process thereof for reducing welding and heat treatment deformation. BACKGROUND

[0002] The outer flame channel of the aero-engine is a sheet welding structure formed by argon arc welding of the outer wall 1 and the partition plate 2 of the flame channel. Figure 1 2 In the production and development, due to the narrow welding structure space and welding construction limitation, an ideal welding and heat treatment deformation control fixture cannot be designed to limit the welding and heat treatment deformation. The welding deformation and heat treatment stress release deformation cause the outer wall of the flame channel to shrink at the position of the partition plate of the flame channel, resulting in a smaller opening C of the partition plate, and the actual measured opening C is shrunk by more than 5mm after heat treatment.

[0003] In the prior art, various correction schemes are used to correct the opening size C of the partition plate of the flame channel and the profile of the outer wall of the flame channel, but the ideal effect is not achieved. The deformation of the outer wall of the flame channel directly affects the adhesion effect of the stealth coating, and the coating is easy to fall off due to local deformation. The outer flame channel seriously interferes with the assembly of the engine stabilizer unit and the matching parts, and the interference structure part is ground away by damaging the main body of the partition plate of the flame channel, so that it can be assembled with the matching parts. In fact, it is used in an out-of-tolerance design state.

[0004] The main process difficulty of the outer flame channel assembly is that the welding structure space is narrow, and due to the welding construction limitation, a suitable welding fixture cannot be found to control the welding deformation. After the welding deformation, it cannot be corrected and recovered, which affects the assembly of the next unit. The deformation of the outer wall of the flame channel caused by welding affects the adhesion of the stealth coating, and the coating is easy to fall off. Therefore, how to control and solve the welding and heat treatment deformation of the flame channel is a technical problem that needs to be solved at present. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical task of the present application is to solve the technical problems of the prior art, that is, to provide an outer flame channel and a manufacturing process thereof for reducing welding and heat treatment deformation, so as to solve the technical problems of the narrow welding structure space of the outer flame channel and the inability to use a fixture to control the welding and heat treatment deformation after welding.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the technical problems is as follows: an outer flame channel for reducing welding and heat treatment deformation, the outer flame channel comprising an outer wall of the flame channel and a partition plate of the flame channel arranged on the inner surface of the outer wall of the flame channel, the partition plate of the flame channel being provided with a slot for mounting an inner flame channel, and a micro connection process structure being arranged at the slot.

[0007] ​Further, the micro-connection process structure comprises a connecting plate connected with the slot through a plurality of connecting edges.

[0008] Further, the connecting edges are four, respectively arranged on the upper and lower parts of the connecting plate.

[0009] Further, the length and width of the connecting edges are both 2-4 mm, and the thickness is the same as that of the partition plate.

[0010] Further, the micro-connection structure is obtained by laser cutting processing on the flame transmission slot partition plate, and after welding and heat treatment of the flame transmission slot outer wall and the flame transmission slot partition plate, the micro-connection process structure is removed, and then the inner flame transmission slot is installed.

[0011] Further, the flame transmission slot partition plate is arranged perpendicularly to the inner surface of the flame transmission slot outer wall, and the flame transmission slot outer wall and the flame transmission slot partition plate both have a U-shaped structure, and the U-shaped aperture of the U-shaped structure gradually increases from the radial opening end.

[0012] The manufacturing process of the outer flame transmission slot comprises the following steps:

[0013] (1) laser processing the flame transmission slot partition plate with a micro-connection process structure;

[0014] (2) welding the flame transmission slot outer wall and the flame transmission slot partition plate;

[0015] (3) heat treatment after welding;

[0016] (4) shearing and removing the micro-connection process structure of the flame transmission slot partition plate;

[0017] (5) applying a stealth coating.

[0018] Further, the step (4) shearing and removing the micro-connection process structure of the flame transmission slot partition plate, i.e. shearing the connecting edges connected with the slot.

[0019] Further, before applying the stealth coating, it is necessary to check whether the welding quality, surface quality and slot size of the outer flame transmission slot meet the design requirements.

[0020] Further, the welding of the step (2) selects corresponding welding process parameters according to the design drawing, material brand and thickness; and the heat treatment of the step (3) selects corresponding heat treatment system according to the design drawing and material brand.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The present application adopts the micro-connection process structure of the flame transmission groove partition plate itself to enhance the rigidity and deformation resistance of the flame transmission groove partition plate structure, and the micro-connection process structure part replaces the welding fixture to control the welding deformation during welding; similarly, the process structure part also replaces the heat treatment fixture to control the heat treatment stress release and additional deformation during heat treatment. The purpose of controlling the welding deformation and heat treatment deformation of the outer flame transmission groove is achieved, the part coated with a coating layer meets the assembly requirements of the next level component, the manufacturing cost of the welding fixture and the heat treatment fixture is saved, and the manufacturing quality of the outer flame transmission groove is improved.
