Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular relates to a method for processing an ultra-thin titanium hemisphere. Background Art

[0002] Titanium hemisphere is an important precision component in the transmission system of shipbuilding heavy industry. The product structure is hemispherical, the wall thickness of the hemisphere is 0.8mm, the surface roughness of the inner and outer walls is required to be 0.4, the wall thickness tolerance is ±0.02, the roundness of the outer wall of the hemisphere is required to be 0.01, and the flatness of the end face is required to be 0.01. Figure 1a and 1b As shown. Titanium alloys have been widely used in aerospace, shipbuilding, and defense industries because of their high strength, low density, good corrosion resistance, and high heat resistance. However, due to the low thermal conductivity, low elastic modulus, and high chemical activity of titanium alloys, their cutting performance is poor, heat dissipation is difficult during cutting, and the material rebounds a lot, which can easily cause tool adhesion and wear. Chatter marks are prone to appear on the machined surface. Due to their high chemical activity, they are prone to chemical reactions with gas impurities such as hydrogen and oxygen in the air to form a surface hardened layer, which further aggravates tool wear. Therefore, titanium alloy processing has high requirements for tools, cutting parameters, and processing methods, and is difficult to process. When conventional process methods are used to process ultra-thin titanium hemispheres, the product is severely deformed, the size deviation is large, and the surface finish is poor. The design accuracy cannot be guaranteed at all, and the tool wears quickly and the tool life is short. Summary of the invention

[0036] In order to make the purpose, content and advantages of the present invention more clear, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples.

[0037] This embodiment provides a method for processing an ultra-thin titanium hemisphere, the method comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1. Rough turning of the front and back surfaces: The product blank is a Φ150 / TC6 bar stock. The front and back surfaces of the blank are rough turned to obtain a rough turned workpiece. The concave rough turning and convex rough turning processes are as follows: Figure 2 and 3 As shown. For the convenience of clamping, an 8mm process table is left when the product blank is rough turned, and the inner and outer walls of the hemisphere are left with 1mm each. The cutting line speed is 150m / min, the back cutting depth is 1.5mm, the feed rate is 0.15mm / r, and the tools used include a 60° external turning tool and a 35° inner hole sharp tool. The higher the cutting parameters, the more serious the tool wear. Low cutting parameters affect the processing efficiency. The above cutting parameters used in this method can take into account both small tool wear and high processing efficiency.

[0039] S2. Milling process grooves and drilling holes: slots are evenly distributed at three points on the process table of the rough turning workpiece to release the internal stress generated during the processing and prevent the workpiece from deformation. At the same time, 6 Φ5.5mm countersunk process holes are evenly distributed on the front and back sides of the process table to be combined with the front and back tires through M5 screws. The countersunk holes can ensure that the end face can still be processed after the workpiece and the tire are combined. When the workpiece is semi-finished and finished, the height dimension of the product itself (60.8±0.02mm) cannot be measured, that is, the dimension from the end face to the top of the outer wall of the hemisphere. The height dimension of the workpiece can be indirectly guaranteed by controlling the thickness dimension tolerance of the process table, such as Figure 4a and 4b shown.

[0040] S3. Semi-finishing turning of the front and back surfaces: semi-finishing turning is performed on the front and back surfaces of the rough-turned workpiece to obtain a semi-finished workpiece. The concave semi-finishing turning and convex semi-finishing turning processes are as follows: Figure 5 and 6 As shown. When processing the concave surface, the workpiece is assembled and clamped with the concave semi-finishing tire 1; when processing the convex surface, the workpiece is assembled and clamped with the convex semi-finishing tire 2, and the inner and outer walls are left with 0.3mm. The cutting line speed is 180m / min, the back cutting depth is 0.3mm, the feed rate is 0.12mm / r, and the tools used include 35° external circle sharp cutter and 35° inner hole sharp cutter. The tire surface fits closely with the workpiece surface. During processing, the tire can provide the workpiece with a support force opposite to the cutting force, preventing the workpiece from deformation or chattering, and ensuring the product size accuracy and surface finish.

[0041] S4. Finish turning of the front and back surfaces: Finish turning the front and back surfaces of the semi-finished workpiece to obtain a finished workpiece. The concave surface finishing and convex surface finishing processes are as follows: Figure 7and 8 As shown. When processing the concave surface, the workpiece is assembled and clamped with the concave surface finishing tire 3; when processing the convex surface, the workpiece is assembled and clamped with the convex surface finishing tire 4, and the wall thickness is processed to the final size. The cutting line speed is 200m / min, the back cutting amount is 0.1mm, the feed rate is 0.06mm / r, and the tools used include 35° external circle sharp tool and 35° inner hole sharp tool.

[0042] S5. Polishing: Polish the workpiece on the lathe using a brush to ensure that the surface roughness of the inner and outer walls of the workpiece is 0.4. Fig. 9 shown.

[0043] S6. Remove the process table on the workpiece by molybdenum wire cutting, and leave 0.02 on the end face of the workpiece. Fig.10 shown.

[0044] S7. Grinding plane: Grind the end surface of the product after removing the process table to the final size to ensure the height size and end surface finish of the product, and obtain the final ultra-thin titanium hemisphere product, such as Fig.11 shown.

[0045] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
