Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electroplastic assisted processing technology, and particularly relates to a flexible conductive roller device and method for electroplastic assisted rolling forming. Background Technology
[0002] High-frequency pulsed current electroplastic rolling technology is a process that involves applying a high-frequency pulsed current to the strip end or rolls to improve the forming limit and forming quality of metals through the electroplastic effect, and to promote atomic diffusion at the composite interface. It is widely used in the rolling of precision strips, thick plates, and metal composite plates. In the field of layered metal composites, it has the potential to coordinate the deformation of dissimilar metals, promote atomic diffusion, refine grains, and improve the interfacial bonding strength.
[0003] Numerous patents have been filed for pulsed current rolling processes and devices. To coordinate the deformation capabilities of dissimilar metals, patent CN201911312358.7 proposes a process for preparing composite plates of difficult / easy-to-deform metals using pulsed current-assisted rolling. Patent CN202310922826.2 proposes a multi-energy field-assisted milling machine for ultra-thin strips using ultrasound and pulsed current to improve the milling machine's ability to control the residual stress, roughness, and other properties of the precision thin strip surface. To avoid current loss and failure caused by open circuits between the strip and the pulsed power supply, as well as conductivity of the mill stand during the strip rolling process, and to control the current flow position and density, patent CN202011023639.3 proposes a current-pushing bed design. This design uses insulating ceramics to prevent conductivity of the mill stand and applies current to the strip through longitudinally distributed rollers. Patent CN202011024663.9 proposes a discrete roll ring pulse current-assisted rolling method and device to improve the accuracy of pulse current application and control the current flow position and density. It controls the on / off state of the pulse power supply through a pressure sensor and controls the application position of the pulse current along the longitudinal direction of the strip deformation zone through circumferential insulation intervals, thereby achieving control of the current action. Patent CN202211084040.X proposes an axially discrete segmented conductive roll to overcome the uneven current distribution caused by the skin effect. The conductive roll is supported by intermediate rolls and other support roll assemblies to avoid poor contact between the strip and the conductive roll surface caused by bending and deformation due to pressure. The above patents have the following problems with the current application methods in the strip rolling process:
[0004] First, traditional strip materials are not ideal rectangles and have convexity and strip shape errors. Relying solely on the clamping force of the conductive roller can easily cause the conductive roller to bend and deform. In addition, due to the influence of vibration during the rolling process, traditional pulse current loading devices may experience poor strip contact and misalignment, leading to pulse current loading failure.
[0005] Second, traditional pulse current application devices do not take into account the effects of plate warping and tilting, assuming that the strip remains straight throughout the rolling process, and cannot compensate for the effects of longitudinal warping and horizontal tilting of dissimilar composite plates at the entrance of the deformation zone.
[0006] Third, the traditional pulse current conductive roller has a fixed distribution position relative to the strip, and the direction and position of the applied current are fixed. However, the electron wind effect of electroplasticity is affected by the current density and the current direction. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize the pulse current with variable application direction and position.
[0007] In summary, there is an urgent need for an electroplastic assisted rolling equipment and method that can overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] A method for using a flexible conductive roller device for electroplastic assisted rolling forming includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 3: Apply pulsed current to the transverse variable convexity conductive roller, and at the same time monitor the temperature of the strip sample through the strip temperature monitoring instrument. When the strip sample warps, tilts, or has excessive local temperature difference, apply pulsed current at the position where the strip sample contacts the graphite conductive roller on the side conductive mechanism to supplement the heating of the strip sample, thus forming a closed-loop control for strip heating.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the present invention provides a flexible conductive roller device and method for electroplastic assisted rolling forming. By utilizing a roller sleeve connecting rod, a detachable spring chamber, and an adjusting spring to flexibly connect the central roller and the segmented conductive roller sleeve, a transversely variable convexity flexible conductive roller is formed. This allows it to effectively adapt to transverse changes in the thickness and convexity of the strip sample, as well as the effects of vibration and warping deformation of the strip sample during the rolling process, while applying a certain clamping force to the strip sample to ensure energization. Simultaneously, by utilizing the cooperation between the side conductive mechanism mounting frame, adjusting spring, spring mounting seat, adjusting slider, and limit adjusting cap, the position of the graphite conductive roller is adjusted. This allows it to effectively adapt to changes in the width of the strip sample and the effects of deviation and horizontal skew, while maintaining close contact with the strip sample. Furthermore, by applying current at different positions in the thickness and width directions of the strip by the transversely variable convexity flexible conductive roller and the side conductive mechanism, the directionality and positional application requirements of the pulse current electron wind effect are met. Ultimately, this achieves flexible adaptive support for the strip sample in the transverse and longitudinal directions, satisfying the requirements for pulse current directionality and large deflection variable stiffness contact conductivity.
