AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to efficiently process film cooling holes in aero-engine combustion chambers, especially the densely packed micro-film pores on thin-walled rotating parts. This results in low processing efficiency, difficulty in processing thermal barrier coatings, and a tendency for recast layers and microcracks to occur.
A dynamic electrolytic machining device for grouping holes using laser pre-fabrication of rotating components is adopted. By coating the rotating substrate with an anti-splashing insulating protective layer, and then pre-machining with a high-energy laser beam, the device combines the inner and outer tool cathodes of the fan-shaped ring with fixtures to realize the pulsating flow field of the electrolyte for post-electrolytic machining processing, ensuring effective electrolyte flow and product discharge.
It improves the processing efficiency and quality of micro-pores in the combustion chamber, reduces the amount of material removed from the processing circuit, lowers the electrolyte circulation filtration load, ensures that there are no recast layers and microcracks on the micropore surface, and enhances the applicability of the processing equipment.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of special processing technology, and in particular to a laser pre-fabrication grouping dynamic electrolytic processing device and method for rotating parts. Background Technology
[0002] The combustion chamber is the power source for aero-engines and gas turbines. To meet performance requirements under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and alternating loads, in addition to using high-temperature resistant alloy materials and thermal barrier coatings, it also features a dense array of film cooling holes on its surface for active cooling. These combustion chamber film cooling holes are characterized by small diameter (0.3-2.0 mm), large number (8000-20000), and small inclination angle (0-25°), densely arranged on a thin-walled rotating part with a thickness of approximately 2.0 mm. To ensure service performance under extreme environments, the machined surface of the film cooling holes must be free of recast layers, microcracks, and heat-affected zones.

Electro-hydraulic beam machining has relatively low efficiency and is difficult to directly machine surface thermal barrier coatings. In addition, previous technologies mostly involved machining one hole at a time, and the machining efficiency for densely packed holes such as film cooling holes in combustors still needs further improvement.

The top of the outer tool cathode 5 has an electrolyte inlet 4 communicating with the cavity 6, so that the electrolyte flows into the cavity 6 through the electrolyte inlet 4 and then into the pre-formed hole through the nozzle. The rotating body clamp 10 is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, and the outer tool cathode 5 or the inner tool cathode 8 is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply.
[0024] In the post-electrolytic processing of rotary components, the laser pre-fabrication grouping dynamic electrolytic machining apparatus for rotary components, as disclosed in this embodiment, allows the rotary substrate 2 (the rotary workpiece to be processed) to rotate at a constant speed relative to the inner tool cathode 8 and the outer tool cathode 5. Electrolyte flows into the cavity 6 through the electrolyte inlet 4 and then into the pre-fabrication holes via the nozzle. The electrolyte flow field within the gap between the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode 8 is pulsating, which reduces the amount of material removed from the processing circuit and facilitates the discharge of processing products within the gap, thus reducing the electrolyte circulation filtration load. The laser pre-fabrication grouping dynamic electrolytic machining apparatus for rotary components provided in this embodiment can rapidly produce combustion chamber micro-holes with high surface quality, and can be applied to the high-quality, high-efficiency processing of large-area micro-holes on the surface of parts.
[0025] In some specific embodiments, the rotating clamp 10 is provided with a drain port 101, which allows the electrolyte to be discharged.
[0026] The rotating fixture 10 is made of an electrochemically inert metal. Its outer cylindrical surface has low surface roughness and surface runout. It can be connected to the positive terminal of the processing power supply 14 through a conductive device 13 such as a brush, so as to achieve an effective circuit connection between the rotating body 2 and the processing power supply 14 when the rotating body 2 rotates at a constant speed.
[0027] In some specific embodiments, an electrolytic processing unit is also included, which includes a processing platform 9, a turbid liquid tank 15, and a clean liquid tank 17.
[0028] The processing platform 9 has a receiving cavity 91. The substrate processing unit is located in the electrolytic processing unit. The bottom of the processing platform 9 is provided with an electrolyte outlet 11 that communicates with the receiving cavity 91. The electrolyte outlet 11 is connected to the turbid liquid tank 15. The turbid liquid tank 15 is connected to the clean liquid tank 17 through a first pipe 26. The clean liquid tank 17 is connected to the electrolyte inlet 4 through a second pipe 27.

Specifically, the outer tool cathode 5, the rotating body base 2, and the inner tool cathode 8 are fixed at a specific interval and form an electrolyte circuit with the electrolyte inlet 4 and the electrolyte outlet 11. During processing, the electrolyte flows from the clean liquid tank 17 through the electrolyte inlet 4, through the electrolyte circuit consisting of the outer tool cathode 5, the pre-drilled hole in the rotating body base 2, and the inner tool cathode 8, and finally flows out of the processing area through the electrolyte outlet 11, returning to the turbid liquid tank 15. After being filtered by the filtration system, it is circulated back to the clean liquid tank 17, completing the electrolyte supply and filtration cycle. During processing, the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode 8 are connected to the negative terminal of the processing power supply 14, and the rotating body base 2, mounted on the rotating body fixture 10, is connected to the positive terminal of the processing power supply 14 through the conductive device 13, forming a processing current circuit together with the electrolyte between the anode and cathode. The rotating body fixture 10 is connected to the rotary motor through the transmission device, which can drive the rotating body base 2 to rotate at a uniform speed.
[0030] In some specific embodiments, the outer tool cathode 5 is fan-shaped; and / or, the inner tool cathode 8 is fan-shaped. During the post-electrolytic machining process, the inner and outer tool cathodes 5 are fan-shaped and rotate uniformly relative to the workpiece.
[0031] Pre-drilled holes can be obtained by other methods, not just laser processing. Other processing methods include electrical discharge machining (EDM), ion beam machining, and others.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, the gap between the combustion chamber rotating body substrate 2 (the workpiece to be processed) and the inner and outer auxiliary cathodes 5 is set to 0.5 mm - 2 mm. The inner and outer auxiliary cathodes are made of conductive materials such as metals and can be prepared by methods such as 3D printing additive manufacturing, machining, and casting.
[0033] The combustion chamber rotating body 2 can be placed in an electrolytic cell filled with electrolyte. The electrolyte can also be sprayed from the cathode tool electrode and applied to the laser-prefabricated boreholes.
[0034] In some specific embodiments, such as this one, the combustion chamber rotating body can rotate, or the inner tool cathode 8 and the outer tool cathode 5 can rotate around the combustion chamber rotating body base 2, achieving relative rotation between the inner and outer tool electrodes and the combustion chamber rotating body base 2. By controlling the relative rotation rate between the cathode tool electrodes and the combustion chamber rotating body, the grouped dynamic processing of holes in rotating components such as the combustion chamber can be achieved, which can promote the transport efficiency of electrolyte in the holes and improve the efficiency of electrolytic processing.
[0035] In this embodiment, both the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode are fan-shaped. The outer tool cathode 5 has an electrolyte cavity 6 inside and an electrolyte nozzle on the processing side. A rotating fixture 10, made of electrochemical inert metal and connected to the positive terminal of a power supply via a brush, is included. A rotary motor connected to the rotating fixture 10 drives the rotating body to rotate at a uniform speed. A clean liquid tank 17 containing fresh electrolyte and a turbid liquid tank 15 for recycling waste electrolyte are included. A heater controlled by a temperature controller is placed in the clean liquid tank 17. The system is powered by a first pressure pump 24, a first filter 25, a second pressure pump 18, and a second filter 26. The liquid supply system consists of a safety valve 19, a check valve 21, a throttle valve 22, and a flow meter 23; an electrolyte circulation system consists of a first pressure pump 24, a first filter 25, a second pressure pump 18, and a second filter 20; and a processing power supply 14 that supplies power to the processing system, with its positive terminal connected to the rotating body clamp 10 and its negative terminal connected to the inner and outer tool cathodes. The system is characterized by the electrolyte flowing in from the electrolyte inlet 4 of the outer tool cathode 5, flowing through the gap between the electrolyte cavity 6 of the outer tool cathode 5, the laser pre-hole, and the inner tool cathode 8, and flowing out from the electrolyte outlet 11 at the bottom of the processing area.
[0036] The principle and process of the "laser pre-hole drilling-pulse dynamic electrolytic machining method for rotating parts" in this embodiment include: First, a sputter-resistant insulating protective layer of silicon carbide or similar material with a fixed thickness is coated on both the inner and outer surfaces of the rotating body substrate 2 to be processed; then, a high-energy laser beam 1 is used to perform efficient and controllable pre-machining of the group of small holes on the substrate to be processed in the combustion chamber coated with the sputter-resistant coating; subsequently, the rotating body substrate 2 is installed on the rotating body fixture 10, and the inner and outer tool cathodes 5 are installed according to the geometric shape of the rotating body substrate 2 and the reserved machining gap, ensuring that the electrolyte can flow into the tool cathode from the electrolyte inlet 4. Electrolyte is introduced into the electrolyte chamber 6 of the rotating body and flows from the electrolyte nozzle on the surface of the tool cathode to the pre-drilled holes on the wall of the rotating body, then to the inner tool cathode 8, and finally discharged from the electrolyte outlet 11. The rotating body base 2 and the inner and outer tool cathodes 5 are connected to the anode and cathode of the DC pulse power supply, respectively. The processing parameters are introduced into the electrolyte, the rotary motor is driven, and the processing power supply 14 is turned on to start the electrolytic processing post-processing of the laser pre-drilled holes. After a period of electrolytic processing, the power supply is cut off, the workpiece in the combustion chamber is removed, and the anti-splashing insulating protective layer coated on the inner and outer surfaces is removed to complete the electrolytic processing post-processing.
[0037] Figure 4 It can be seen that the recast layer on the laser-pre-drilled holes can be completely removed after electrolytic post-treatment, and there are no processing defects such as recast layer and microcracks on the surface of the microholes, which fully verifies the feasibility of the method of the present invention.
[0038] The pulsed electrolytic post-processing method allows for the design of corresponding inner and outer tool cathodes 5 and their relative motion patterns based on different part shapes. For example, for parts with a rotating shape, a fan-shaped inner / outer tool cathode 5 can be designed, employing a motion mode of relative uniform rotation of the rotating body. For parts with a flat shape, a flat inner / outer tool cathode 5 can be designed, employing a motion mode of relative planar movement of the flat plate. Furthermore, depending on the specific electrolyte flow field and processing requirements, various electrolyte supply methods can be adopted, including unidirectional inner / outer spraying, bidirectional inner / outer spraying, and a combination of spraying and immersion.
[0039] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown in the embodiments of this disclosure, the method for laser pre-drilling group holes in a rotating body component using the laser pre-drilling group hole dynamic electrolytic machining device for a rotating body component provided in this disclosure includes the following steps: coating both the inner and outer surfaces of the rotating body substrate 2 to be processed with an anti-splashing insulating protective layer to prevent the molten metal splashing during laser drilling from affecting the surface of the workpiece and to avoid metal splashing adhering to the surface of the workpiece; using a high-energy laser beam 1 to pre-process the pre-drilled holes on the rotating body substrate 2 coated with the anti-splashing insulating protective layer; designing and installing the inner fan-shaped tool cathode 8 and the outer tool cathode 5 according to the geometric shape of the rotating body and the reserved machining gap, and installing the rotating body fixture 10 to ensure that the electrolyte can flow from the electrolyte inlet 4 into the electrolyte cavity 6 of the outer tool cathode 5, and then... Electrolyte from the nozzle inside the outer tool cathode 5 flows through the pre-drilled hole to the inner tool cathode 8, filling the machining gap with electrolyte, which is then discharged from the machining area through the electrolyte outlet 11. The rotating body rotates at a predetermined speed relative to the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode 8. Both the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode 8 are connected to the negative terminal of the machining power supply 14, and the rotating body base 2 is connected to the positive terminal of the machining power supply 14, or the rotating body fixture 10 is connected to the positive terminal of the machining power supply 14. The electrolyte pressure, the rotational motor speed, and the parameters of the machining power supply 14 are set. Electrolyte is introduced, the rotational motor is driven, and the machining power supply 14 is turned on to begin the electrolytic machining post-processing of the laser pre-drilled hole. After a period of electrolytic post-processing, the power is cut off, the rotating body base 2 is removed, and the anti-splashing insulating protective layer coated on the inner and outer surfaces is removed. In this embodiment, the fan-shaped inner and outer tool cathodes 5 are used to perform electrolytic post-processing on the micro-holes on the surface of the rotating workpiece. This reduces the processing area and the total current of the processing circuit. Simultaneously, during the electrolytic post-processing, the rotating workpiece rotates uniformly relative to the fan-shaped tool cathodes, and the electrolyte flow field within the gap is pulsating. This reduces the amount of material removed from the processing circuit and facilitates the discharge of processing products within the gap, reducing the electrolyte circulation filtration load. Therefore, the laser pre-holeing-pulse dynamic electrolytic machining device for rotating parts of this invention reduces the requirements for processing equipment such as the processing power supply 14 and the electrolyte circulation filtration system during large-area group hole electrolytic post-processing of rotating parts, improving its equipment applicability.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the post-electrochemical processing method includes: unidirectional liquid spraying from the inner tool electrode (8) to the outer tool electrode (5); or, unidirectional liquid spraying from the outer tool electrode (5) to the inner tool electrode (8); or, liquid spraying from the inner tool electrode (8) to the outer tool electrode (5) while simultaneously spraying liquid from the outer tool electrode (5) to the inner tool electrode (8); and / or, immersion electrochemical processing, which can adapt to the specific situation of the electrolyte flow field and processing requirements.
[0043] In some specific embodiments, the gap between the rotating body base 2 and the inner tool cathode 8 is set to L1, which satisfies: 0.5mm≤L1≤2mm; the gap between the rotating body base 2 and the outer tool cathode 5 is set to L2, which satisfies: 0.5mm≤L2≤2mm; and / or, both the outer tool cathode 5 and the inner tool cathode 8 are made of conductive material.
[0044] In some specific implementations, the anti-splashing insulating protective layer is made of materials such as silicon carbide; And / or, the coating thickness of the anti-splash insulating protective layer is 30μm to 200μm.
[0045] The anti-spatter insulating protective layer coated on both sides of the inner and outer surfaces of the workpiece to be processed in this embodiment of the combustion chamber rotating body substrate 2 serves to prevent the impact of molten metal sputtering during laser drilling on the surface of the workpiece and to avoid metal sputtering adhering to the surface of the workpiece. Furthermore, coating the inner and outer walls of the combustion chamber rotating body substrate 2 with the anti-spatter insulating protective layer can reduce the corrosion of the combustion chamber surface caused by electrolytic machining, confine the electrolytic machining area to the inner wall of the micro-hole, reduce the impact of electrolytic machining on the inlet and outlet radius of the micro-hole, and improve the accuracy of electrolytic machining.
[0046] This invention employs a high-power quasi-continuous laser or a high-power continuous laser to efficiently process pre-formed holes in the combustion chamber. By optimizing the process, the thickness of the recast layer on the surface of the pre-formed hole is minimized, preferably to a value of 10-30 μm, and the taper of the pre-formed hole is also minimized to improve the efficiency and quality of subsequent electrolytic processing.
[0047] The power supply used in this invention is a DC pulse power supply, with a processing voltage of 20-50V, a pulse frequency of 10-50kHz, and an adjustable duty cycle of 0-100%. During the electrolytic machining process, the combustion chamber substrate is connected to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, and the tool cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the DC power supply.
[0048] The electrolyte used in this invention can be a neutral salt solution, an acidic electrolyte, or a mixed solution.
[0049] The laser pre-fabrication group hole dynamic electrolytic machining method for rotating parts proposed in this invention can be implemented on the same machining equipment by optimizing the design of the rotating fixture 10, thereby further improving machining efficiency and shortening the machining process.
[0050] The laser pre-hole-pulse dynamic electrolytic machining method for rotating parts in this embodiment can reduce the requirements for processing equipment such as the processing power supply 14 and the electrolyte circulation filtration system during the post-processing of large-area group hole electrolytic machining of rotating parts, and improve its equipment applicability.
[0051] Other advantages of this embodiment include: the anti-splashing insulating protective coating 3 applied to the inner and outer surfaces of the workpiece to be processed on the combustion chamber rotating body substrate 2 can prevent material splashing during laser processing and protect the surface of the non-processed area; the pre-fabricated holes for the micro-group holes of the combustion chamber flame tube are quickly processed by laser processing, which can give full play to the high-efficiency processing advantages of laser processing; during the electrolytic post-processing, the electrolyte is supplied by the electrolyte nozzle on the side of the cathode, which is simple and direct and can further improve the electrolyte mass transfer efficiency in the processing gap and promote the discharge of electrolytic processing products; when the pre-fabricated holes are rapidly processed by laser, surface defects such as microcracks in the recast layer of the hole wall can be completely removed during the subsequent electrolytic post-processing, and the processed micro-group holes have high surface quality.
[0052] Therefore, the laser pre-hole drilling-pulse dynamic electrolytic machining method for rotating parts described above can fully leverage the advantages of both laser processing and electrolytic processing, enabling the rapid fabrication of micro-hole groups with high surface quality in the rotating combustion chamber substrate 2. It also improves the applicability of the processing equipment used in this method, facilitating its wider application. Similarly, the laser pre-drilling group hole dynamic electrolytic machining device and method proposed in this invention can be applied to the high-quality, high-efficiency machining of large-area micro-hole groups on the surfaces of parts such as fan rings, shells, and plates.
