Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal component forming, in particular to a cold-hot combined forming method for an eccentric negative curvature thin-walled part. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, as the performance requirements of components in high-end equipment fields such as aerospace, new energy vehicles, etc. have gradually increased, the use requirements and complexity of sheet metal parts have also been continuously increasing; key components of aerospace and other equipment use eccentric negative curvature surface shape components, such as exhaust tail cones, air intakes, etc., and commonly used materials include heat-resistant stainless steel, high-strength steel and high-temperature alloys.
[0003] The currently available methods for forming eccentric negative curvature parts include sheet metal stamping and welding, liquid filling deep drawing and superplastic forming. Among them, sheet metal stamping and welding is to form the complex curved surface of the eccentric negative curvature part in blocks, and then weld the stamped curved surface into a whole to form a complete eccentric negative curvature part. The defects of this method are that the parts obtained by the welding process have internal stress release, large resilience, low dimensional accuracy, and uneven deformation of the weld and heat-affected zone. The welding is difficult and the microstructure at the weld is complex, which makes it difficult to meet the high-quality requirements of this type of components. The eccentric asymmetric structure of the eccentric negative curvature thin-walled part further increases its requirements for spatial structure accuracy, and welding leads to scrap. The rate is increased, which seriously affects the production efficiency and production quality; when using the liquid filling deep drawing method, in the complex features of the formed parts, such as in the negative angle area, the effective lubrication cannot be established between the part and the mold, affecting the material flow, which will cause the blank to be unable to effectively supplement the negative angle area of the mold, causing the material deformation to exceed the forming limit and break, making it difficult to form complex thin-walled parts; the difficulty of superplastic forming is that it is difficult to prepare a blank with uniform fine-grained structure that meets superplasticity. At the same time, due to the complex shape and structure of the slab during the forming process, local mold adhesion and friction occur, resulting in uneven wall thickness of the formed part; therefore, the existing forming methods cannot meet the requirements of uniform wall thickness, high forming accuracy and high reliability for forming eccentric negative curvature thin-walled parts.
