Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of aircraft engine processing, in particular to an aircraft engine flame tube assembly processing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The flame tube assembly is an important part of the combustion chamber of the aircraft engine, mainly serving to organize combustion and maintain a stable flame source. The size of the part is thin in wall thickness and complex in profile, and is formed by welding several flame tube single pieces together, which needs to go through the welding process and subsequent machining to ensure the size. The processing of such parts mainly has the following difficulties: 1. After electron beam welding, the deformation is large, the conversion error between the axial machining reference of the part, and the large deviation of the part head boss machining will exist, and the parallelism will be out of tolerance; 2. The deformation of the part supporting surface is large, which will cause the deformation of the reference surface and the length out of tolerance during machining; 3. The part is poor in rigidity, which will cause the vibration of the tool during machining; 4. After welding and aging, the deformation of each installation edge of the part is about 0.5-0.6mm, which increases the difficulty of part processing and makes it difficult to ensure the processing quality of the part; 5. The number of gas film holes is large, and the part deforms greatly after processing.
[0003] Figure 1 A cross-sectional structure diagram of a flame tube assembly for an aircraft engine is shown. The inner ring part 100 of the flame tube is an annular part with a wall thickness of 1.5mm. The cross-sectional structure includes a front mounting edge 1, a head flat and boss 2, a weld 3, an inner wall 4, and an annular groove 5. There are multiple gas film holes (not shown in the figure) on the head flat and boss 2 and the inner wall 4. The size requirements of the inner ring part 100 of the flame tube include parallelism of 0.05 and perpendicularity of 0.05, which means that the size precision of the inner ring part 100 of the flame tube is high. Due to the thin wall of the part, the need for welding and heat treatment process during processing, and the large number of gas film holes, the part reference surface is prone to deformation, which often causes a series of size deviations related to the reference surface. The existing processing process relies too much on the operation level of skilled personnel and the on-site processing environment, has great limitations, and is difficult to control the deformation and processing deviation of the part from the essence.

[0061] The gas film hole on the annular groove is processed to ensure the ventilation and heat dissipation function of the annular groove.
[0062] S700, spraying treatment is performed on the inner wall: the inner wall profile is sprayed with a thermal barrier coating, plasma spraying is performed, and the material
[0063] is an aluminum-silicon coating;
[0064] S800, laser processing of the inner wall mixing hole: a third supporting clamp is used, an angular pin is arranged on the angular hole, the second supporting surface is supported to find the center reference outer circle position, and the inner wall coating part is processed into mixing holes of different sizes.
[0065] The mixing hole is processed.
[0066] S900, laser processing of the inner wall cooling hole: a second supporting clamp is used, an angular pin is arranged on the angular hole, and the installation edge is supported to find the installation edge outer circle position, and the inner wall coating part is processed into cooling holes of different sizes. The cooling holes are distributed in a staggered manner with the mixing holes.
[0067] In step S100, when the gas film hole is processed, the processing method is adjusted according to the position of the gas film hole to avoid the influence of the deformation of the part caused by the stress change of the part material after material removal on the reference.
[0068] The processing method will affect the heat input and cooling process of the part material. Laser processing is a local heat source processing, which has a small heat affected zone and can accurately remove material, but the heat generated in the local area may cause thermal expansion and stress concentration of the material. Especially for large-area or flat-hole processing, the heat effect of laser processing is small and controllable, which is suitable for such processing. Electric spark machining is a kind of discharge machining, which does not directly act on the material surface through grinding removal, but ablates the material through local discharge. The heat affected zone generated by electric spark machining is relatively small, so it is more suitable for use near the installation edge or in complex-shaped parts. Especially when the part shape is complex or the wall is thin, this processing method can reduce the local stress concentration caused by heat accumulation and avoid deformation caused by thermal expansion. Adjusting the processing method can select the appropriate processing heat source to avoid excessive thermal stress during material removal and maintain the stability of the part shape.
[0069] Specifically, step S100 processes the gas film holes on the head ring of the flame tube assembly and the gas film holes on the bevel includes the following steps:
[0070] S110, laser processing of the head plane gas film hole: the head plane any large hole is found as an angular position, and the gas film holes around the large hole periphery are processed to reduce the influence of the deformation of the part caused by the stress change of the part material after material removal on the reference.
[0071] S120, the electric spark machining head slope air film hole: find the head plane any large hole as the angular position, the air film hole on the head slope is processed.
[0072] In step S110, first, a larger hole on the head plane is accurately positioned and aligned by a measuring device, serving as an angular reference. The role of the angular reference is to ensure that the processing position of all air film holes during processing is determined relative to the center of this large hole. Once the angular position of the large hole is determined, the processing positions of other air film holes around the large hole are also accurately positioned based on this reference. This ensures the consistency of the position accuracy of each air film hole in the relative angular direction. Laser technology is used to process the air film holes around the large hole. Laser processing is a high-precision, low-heat-affected processing method suitable for thin-walled structure parts. The laser beam melts the material through high-energy focusing, forming a hole. During laser processing, the material removal amount can be accurately controlled by adjusting the focal length and power of the laser, thereby avoiding excessive heat input and reducing the impact of local thermal stress concentration on the material. By gradually processing the air film holes around the large hole, uniform stress on the material during processing can be ensured, and deformation of the part caused by excessive release of local stress can be avoided.
[0073] In step S120, first, a larger hole on the head plane is aligned as an angular reference. Through the position of this large hole, the air film holes on the slope can maintain accurate relative positions in the angular direction. After aligning the large hole as the processing reference, it is ensured that the positions of the air film holes on the head slope relative to the large hole do not deviate during the entire processing process, ensuring the processing accuracy of the air film holes.
[0074] The air film hole to be processed is close to the mounting edge, and the outlet is a force-bearing arc part. Electric spark machining is used to reduce deformation of the part. The area close to the mounting edge is usually less rigid, and the part is prone to deformation at this location. Using electric spark machining, this non-contact processing method can effectively avoid mechanical impact on thin-walled or weakly rigid parts during processing, thereby reducing the likelihood of deformation at this location.
[0075] In step S200, strict alignment and fixation are required before welding to ensure accurate positioning of the head ring and the inner wall. Through clamps or support devices, it is ensured that the two parts remain stable during welding to avoid position deviation affecting accuracy during welding. Through electron beam welding, the focused electron beam melts the joint area of the head ring and the inner wall, forming a precise weld. This process can achieve high-strength welding on thin-walled parts while maintaining the shape stability of the part.
[0076] Step S300 includes the following steps:
[0077] S310, determining a part axial reference: coloring the inner wall end face, supporting and pressing the colored point, processing the boss face, processing the first supporting surface, the inner wall end face being the pre-welding axial reference, the first supporting surface being the post-welding axial reference, so as to realize the conversion from the pre-welding axial reference to the post-welding axial reference, and avoid the influence of the deformation of each end face before and after welding on the processing of the part;
[0078] The welding process may cause thermal deformation of the part, resulting in the loss of precision of the selected reference surface before welding. By reprocessing a new axial reference (the first supporting surface) after welding, the influence of welding deformation on subsequent finishing can be effectively avoided, and the size and precision requirements of the final product can be ensured; through reference conversion, it is ensured that the part always has an accurate and reliable reference surface at different processing stages, especially after welding, the new reference surface can ensure the processing precision of each part, avoid the accumulation of dimensional errors, and thus improve the overall processing quality and stability of the part; the conversion of the axial reference provides a new positioning reference for the subsequent process, and the new reference surface can ensure the dimensional precision of the part in subsequent machining such as turning and milling, especially when machining important parts such as the mounting edge and the annular groove, the precision transmission and interchangeability of the part in the entire machining chain are ensured.
[0079] S320, converting the axial reference and turning the ring groove: using the first supporting clamp to color and support the first supporting surface, pressing the part through the screw rod passing through the head hole, aligning the inner hole circle of the inner wall, machining the mounting edge and the annular groove, and processing the second supporting surface and the center reference, the second supporting surface being the design axial reference, so as to realize the conversion from the axial reference in processing to the design axial reference. Through the conversion of the axial reference, the temporary reference (the first supporting surface) in welding and processing is converted to the final design reference (the second supporting surface), ensuring that the processing of the part is always based on an accurate and stable reference surface. Especially in the machining of the ring groove and the mounting edge, this conversion helps to improve the concentricity, parallelism and surface quality of the part; the conversion of the reference surface ensures the precision transmission of the axial reference in the machining process, avoids the influence of the deformation of the part in welding and initial machining on the consistency of the final size and shape, especially for thin-walled and complex-shaped parts, the reference conversion can minimize the error in the machining process; by accurately machining the mounting edge and the ring groove and ensuring the consistency of the second supporting surface with the design reference, the part can meet the high-precision matching requirements in the final assembly. The precision of the ring groove and the mounting edge is directly related to the sealing, pressure resistance and working performance of the part.
[0080] Step S400 includes the following steps:
[0081] The second supporting clamp is used to support the second supporting surface, align the mounting edge outer circle, and align the uniformly distributed boss to coarsely determine the angular direction;
[0082] After setting the workpiece coordinate system, the pre-milling cutter machining program is used to mill 0.3mm deep on several evenly distributed boss circular holes on the head, and then each boss pre-milling center hole is checked to see if it is in the center of the boss. If there is deviation, adjust the workpiece coordinate system and repeat the above steps until each boss pre-milling center hole is in the center of the boss.
[0083] An angular hole is machined on the mounting edge, and the boss surface is milled. The several evenly distributed bosses of the blank part are the angular reference of the blank part, and the angular hole on the mounting edge is the angular reference of the machined part, so as to realize the conversion from the angular reference of the blank part to the angular reference of the machined part.
[0084] The main function of step S400 is to convert the angular reference of the part, ensuring that the angular accuracy of the part can be effectively controlled from the blank part to the finished part. The specific operation includes using the second supporting clamp to support the second supporting surface, and preliminarily determining the angular position of the part by aligning the outer circle of the mounting edge and the evenly distributed bosses. After setting the workpiece coordinate system, the pre-milling is carried out, and each boss circular hole is checked to see if it is in the center position, and the deviation is eliminated by adjusting the coordinate system. This process ensures the consistency of the geometric center of each boss and the machining reference, avoiding the accumulation of machining errors. Further angular reference conversion is realized by machining an angular hole on the mounting edge. Through accurate positioning and milling, it is ensured that the evenly distributed bosses of the blank part (blank reference) are converted to the angular hole of the machined part (machining reference). The core function of this step is to improve the assembly accuracy of the part, especially for the aviation engine parts with high installation and assembly requirements. The accuracy of the angular reference is crucial. Through this reference conversion, angular errors can be reduced, ensuring that the part has good symmetry and accuracy in subsequent assembly, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the entire product
[0085] In step S600, when the second supporting surface is supported by the second supporting clamp, an angular pin is arranged on the corresponding angular hole of the second supporting clamp to align the outer circle of the mounting edge. When the second supporting surface is supported by the second supporting clamp, the angular pin is arranged on the clamp to align the outer circle of the mounting edge, which ensures that the part can be accurately positioned during machining, thereby ensuring the machining accuracy of the angular hole and the mounting edge. The arrangement of the angular pin can make the position of the part in the clamp more stable, and through the accurate alignment with the outer circle of the mounting edge, the angular error caused by the position deviation of the part during machining can be avoided. The accurate alignment of this process is crucial for high-precision parts such as aircraft engines, especially for parts that need to maintain symmetry and high-precision assembly. Through the auxiliary positioning of the angular pin, it is ensured that each hole position of the part during the machining of the ring groove gas film hole on the machine tool is consistent with the angular reference, preventing deviation or error accumulation after machining. In addition, the combination of the supporting clamp and the angular pin can also effectively prevent the slight deviation caused by the vibration or stress generated during machining, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy, functionality and durability of the final part. This precise positioning system improves the stability and overall accuracy of the machining process, which helps to ensure the machining quality of high-requirement parts.
[0086] Before step S700, a step of polishing the part is also included to remove burrs and flash generated during machining, thereby avoiding excess material of the gas film hole and the annular groove.
[0087] Before step S700, a step of fluorescent inspection is also included to perform fluorescent inspection on the mounting edge and the gas film hole to eliminate crack defects.
[0088] After step S900, the following steps are also included to remove gas film hole splashes and burrs: remove gas film hole splashes and burrs, use water as a medium, pressurize the cooling hole, and perform light transmission inspection on all holes to remove possible excess material in the hole.

In order to reduce the influence of cold and hot fatigue, gas oxidation corrosion and wear on the flame cylinder, and increase the service life of the flame cylinder.
[0101] Step L, laser processing of the inner wall mixing hole: provide a third support clamp, set the angular pin of the angular hole processed in step F, support the second support surface processed in step E, find the center reference outer circle part, and process mixing holes of different sizes in the inner wall coating part.

[0104] The main problems and methods solved by the processing method are as follows:
[0105] 1. By steps A and B, the gas film holes on the head ring and the gas film holes on the bevel are processed respectively, and the processing method is adjusted according to the position of the gas film hole to avoid the influence of the deformation of the part after the material removal on the reference caused by the stress change; 2.

By adjusting the processing method according to whether the convex boss is in the center of the convex boss after pre-milling of the milling cutter, the angular orientation is roughly determined by the several evenly distributed convex bosses, to avoid the conversion error between the angular reference of the blank and the angular reference of the machined part, so as to prevent the problem of insufficient convex boss machining allowance; 5. By arranging steps F and G to process the mounting edge angular hole and the mounting edge lace respectively, the deformation of the mounting edge caused by numerical milling is avoided, and finally the angular position of the angular hole and the lace wall thickness requirement are ensured.
