Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of spinning processing and additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for manufacturing a cylinder structure with internal ribs based on spinning-additive composite manufacturing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ribbed thin-walled cylinder is a cylindrical main body structure of a spacecraft and a missile, and its integrated manufacturing structure is an effective way to improve the lightweight level of large equipment and is a typical complex thin-walled structure. It usually has the characteristics of high ribs and thin abdomen, has a complex geometric shape, and is harsh in precision, performance and weight, and is a difficult-to-machine product. Flow spinning, as a near-net forming process, has the advantages of small load and high process flexibility. The spinning workpiece undergoes strong plastic deformation during the machining process, and has outstanding advantages in mechanical properties. Therefore, the flow spinning process is suitable for the integrated forming of large-diameter thin-walled cylinder structures. Due to the obvious uneven deformation of the material under local strong loading during the spinning forming process, the internal rib is not filled, and other phenomena, which limit the forming height of the reinforcing rib, are particularly prominent for cross-rib cylinder segments. In addition, for each change of rib structure, a corresponding spinning blank mold needs to be manufactured, which is high in cost and long in cycle, and it is difficult to manufacture complex multi-level ribs.

[0003] Direct energy deposition, as a rapid and efficient additive manufacturing method, has become an important choice for rapid manufacturing of complex components due to its high forming efficiency, high material utilization rate, complex structure forming, and short manufacturing cycle.

[0004] Therefore, complex local features that cannot be completed by spinning process can be manufactured by additive manufacturing, the high internal rib shape of the thin-walled cylinder can be set, and the mold-free manufacturing of the high internal rib can be completed, so that the mechanical properties of the complex high internal rib thin-walled cylinder structure are better and the weight is lighter.

[0005] CN114082825A discloses a reverse flow spinning forming device and control method for a cylinder with grid ribs. By appropriately constraining the axial flow of the metal blank, the metal material is promoted to flow into the rib groove, the grid internal rib height is increased, and the formed rib body is no longer subjected to axial tension, thereby avoiding the cracking risk caused by excessive axial tension stress during positive spinning. However, this method only considers the spinning problem from the process point of view, and does not explain the residual stress distribution after spinning forming and how to control it. Moreover, this process has limited improvement in internal rib height, and different molds need to be processed for different internal rib shapes, which is low in efficiency, and the manufacturing process and cycle are not shortened.

[0006] CN201910306894 discloses a preheating strong spinning forming method for preparing a magnesium alloy belt ribbed cylinder part. Through single-pass large thinning rate one-time spinning forming and surface finishing, a high forming quality belt ribbed cylinder part meeting the size requirements can be effectively obtained, and the adverse factors in the multi-pass spinning forming process of the belt ribbed cylinder part are avoided. However, this method is only suitable for simple inner ribs, and there are still many constraints for the manufacture of complex high inner ribs obtained by topology optimization.

[0007] In summary, there is a lack of a universal method combining spinning and additive manufacturing for manufacturing high-rib thin-walled cylindrical structures. The existing partial equipment is relatively bulky, costly and has great limitations. The flow spinning process has good mechanical properties for manufacturing high-rib thin-walled cylindrical structures, but cannot manufacture high-ribs. The additive manufacturing technology has obvious advantages in manufacturing complex high-ribs, so it is necessary to develop a method for manufacturing complex high-rib thin-walled cylindrical structures based on spinning and additive manufacturing. SUMMARY

[0008] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for manufacturing a belt ribbed cylindrical structure based on spinning and additive manufacturing. The flow spinning and additive manufacturing of this new spinning and additive manufacturing composite forming process realize the overall manufacturing of complex aerospace thin-walled components, which not only meets the requirements of the mechanical properties of such components, but also takes into account the high precision requirements of the rib height and the cylinder shape.

[0009] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve its technical problems is: a method for manufacturing a belt ribbed cylindrical structure based on spinning and additive manufacturing, which divides the cylindrical structure into spinning forming and additive forming, that is, first spinning forms a cylinder structure, and then additive forms an inner rib structure in the inner cavity of the cylinder structure.

[0010] Further, based on the thickness of the cylinder of the cylindrical structure, the workpiece is divided into spinning forming and additive forming, x is the thickness threshold of the cylinder of the cylindrical structure, when the thickness h of the cylinder of the cylindrical structure is greater than x, the spinning formed cylinder structure is a cylinder without inner rib, and the additive formed inner rib structure is all inner rib; when the thickness h of the cylinder is less than or equal to x, the spinning formed cylinder structure is a cylinder + short rib, and the additive formed inner rib structure is a high rib, and the short rib + high rib is all inner rib; wherein the height of the short rib Δh is less than h.

[0011] wherein, σ is the maximum radial stress value generated by additive manufacturing of the material of the cylindrical structure; l is half of the axial length of the cylinder; E is the elastic modulus of the material of the cylindrical structure; a is the weld width of additive manufacturing; b is the arc length / width of the cylinder around the weld of the inner rib of the cylindrical structure, and the value range is 6-10 times the weld width; [ω] is the maximum deformation of the cylindrical structure.

[0012] Further, the method for manufacturing a high-ribbed cylindrical structure by spinning-additive composite manufacturing comprises the following steps:

[0013] (1) After modeling the whole data of the workpiece, the data model is divided into a cylinder structure model for spinning forming and an inner rib structure model for additive manufacturing according to the thickness of the cylinder of the cylindrical structure;

[0014] (2) According to the cylinder structure data model, the workpiece blank is spun by the spinning equipment to complete the manufacturing of the cylinder structure;

[0015] (3) The inner rib structure data model is sliced, the forming track is planned, and the additive manufacturing data file is generated;

[0016] (4) The cylinder structure obtained by spinning forming is clamped to the additive manufacturing device, and the additive manufacturing data file obtained in step (3) is imported into the additive manufacturing device actuator;

[0017] (5) The clamped cylinder structure is preheated to a set temperature, and after reaching the set temperature, the inner rib structure is manufactured by additive manufacturing in the inner cavity of the cylinder structure obtained by spinning;

[0018] (6) According to the additive manufacturing data file in step (3), the manufacturing of the cylindrical structure is finally completed.

[0019] Further, in step (1), the additive manufacturing material is a metal that can be directly energy deposited, and the materials used for the cylinder structure formed by spinning and the inner rib structure formed by additive manufacturing belong to the same type of alloy, including but not limited to aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and titanium alloy.

[0020] Further, in step (1), the additive manufacturing is a direct energy deposition process, specifically one of laser deposition manufacturing and electric arc wire additive manufacturing.

[0021] Further, in step (1), the spinning forming is one of preheating strong spinning and one-way multi-pass flow spinning.

[0022] Further, in step (4), before the additive manufacturing starts, the inner surface of the cylinder structure obtained by spinning is polished and cleaned with acetone, and the additive manufacturing raw materials (electric arc additive welding wire material, laser additive powder material) are dried to prepare for subsequent additive manufacturing;

[0023] Further, in step (4), the tool clamp for limiting the thermal deformation of the high-ribbed cylindrical structure is also included, and the tool clamp can limit the thermal deformation of the cylindrical structure during the additive manufacturing process by internal and external restraint clamping.

[0024] Further, the clamping mechanism used for clamping the cylinder structure in the step (4) comprises a three-gripper chuck, a four-gripper chuck, a C-shaped support, and a special tool clamp.

[0025] Further, the preheating device used in the step (5) is one of an induction coil, a track-type ceramic electric heating blanket, a resistance heating rod, and a ring-shaped acetylene welding gun heating device.

[0026] Further, in the step (6), the cylinder structure performs a circumferential motion, and the additive manufacturing execution mechanism performs a translational motion along the cylinder axis.

[0027] Further, the circumferential motion is performed by a positioner, and the additive manufacturing execution mechanism is one of a six-axis robot and a three-coordinate machine tool.

[0028] Further, the step (6) further comprises detecting the workpiece temperature by using a temperature measuring device, and when the upper limit of the temperature threshold value between the additive layers is reached, the heat is dissipated and cooled until the temperature between the layers is cooled to the lower limit of the temperature threshold value.

[0029] Further, the temperature measuring device is one of an infrared temperature measuring instrument, a thermocouple, and a metal contact type temperature measuring instrument.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the method has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] On the basis of the spinning manufacturing of the cylinder structure, the additive manufacturing of the complex inner rib is performed, on the one hand, the spinning area and the additive area are divided by the wall thickness, which not only ensures the rapid manufacturing of the complex inner rib thin-walled cylinder structure, but also solves the problem of insufficient filling of the spinning manufacturing of the high inner rib, on the other hand, the overall manufacturing of the complex high inner rib wall component is realized through the flow spinning and the additive manufacturing, which not only meets the requirements of the mechanical properties of such components, but also takes into account the requirements of the high precision of the rib height and the cylinder segment shape, and provides a relatively mature case for the equal material-additive composite manufacturing.

[0032] The method of the application firstly manufactures the cylinder structure through spinning forming to increase the stiffness of the original blank, and the tool clamp resisting thermal deformation is installed before the start of the additive manufacturing process, which greatly reduces the deformation problem caused by excessive thermal stress in the additive manufacturing process of the complex inner rib of the thin-walled cylinder structure, and obtains a structure with better mechanical properties, lighter weight and higher precision.

Calculations show that the cylindrical thickness h = 5mm < the thickness threshold x = 54.73mm. Therefore, the spin-formed cylindrical structure includes a thin-walled cylinder (i.e., the cylindrical body) + short ribs; the additively manufactured internal ribbed structure is a complex high-ribbed structure, and the short ribs + complex high ribs constitute all internal ribs.

[0059] Complex high internal ribbed cylindrical structure model, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 (a) is a thin-walled cylinder (i.e., cylinder body) with short ribs manufactured by spinning; (b) is a complex high-rib structure manufactured by additive manufacturing; (c) is an integral complex high-internal-rib cylindrical structure; and (d) is a side view of (a), (b), and (c).

The corresponding parameters of the robot and the welding machine are: current 160A, voltage 14V, wire feeding speed 8m·min -1 , and the moving speed of the welding gun 11 is 15mm·s -1 .

[0067] 9) Based on the process parameters of step 8), the additive manufacturing of complex high-rib cylinder structure is completed.

Calculations show that the cylindrical thickness h = 25mm > the thickness threshold x = 24.33mm. Therefore, the spin-formed cylindrical structure is an unribbed cylindrical structure; the additively manufactured internally ribbed structure is a complex high-ribbed structure, which consists of all internal ribs.

[0071] Complex high internal ribbed cylindrical structure model, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 (a) is a spin-formed unribbed cylinder, (b) is an additively manufactured complex highly ribbed cylinder, (c) is an integral complex highly internally ribbed cylindrical structure, and (d) is a side view of (a), (b), and (c).
