Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of inner and outer wall processing of metal pipes, and in particular, relates to a device and method for preparing gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of metal pipes. Background Art

[0002] Metal pipes have been widely used as "blood vessels" and supporting parts for transporting gases and liquids in military and civilian industrial equipment. However, with the improvement of efficiency and lightweight of industrial equipment, higher requirements are placed on the strength, toughness, oxidation resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of pipes. Therefore, how to improve the comprehensive performance and service life of metal pipes has always been a focus of researchers.

[0003] At present, a large number of studies have proved that the metal surface can be treated by surface modification technology, thereby creating a structure different from the original organization, which can significantly improve the comprehensive performance of the metal. At present, there are various technical methods for strengthening the inner wall and outer surface of metal pipes, such as surface spraying technology, surface deposition technology, surface chemical heat treatment technology, shot peening technology, etc. However, spraying technology and surface chemical heat treatment technology can improve the performance of metal pipes in certain service areas to a certain extent, but there are many shortcomings in the application of these technologies in pipe strengthening. For example, there is an obvious interface between the strengthening layer and the matrix. When affected by stress, heat, and chemical effects, the strengthening layer and the matrix layer are easy to peel off, thereby failing to achieve the purpose of strengthening the surface of the pipe. And if these technologies are used to strengthen the inner and outer walls of metal pipes at the same time, the processing technology is cumbersome, the equipment is complex, and the cost is high.

[0004] The metal gradient nanocrystalline structure refers to the gradual transition organization of nanocrystalline-coarse crystal formed on the metal surface and inside, thereby avoiding the problem of a clear interface between the strengthening layer and the matrix layer. In addition, a large number of studies have shown that the surface gradient nanocrystalline structure can significantly improve the strength and plasticity of the metal, thereby achieving a synergistic effect of strength and plasticity. Not only that, since damage such as wear and corrosion usually occurs first on the metal surface, the surface gradient nanocrystalline structure can effectively improve the hardness of the metal, thereby reducing the hazards such as wear and corrosion. Through the principle of large surface plastic deformation, large plastic deformation can be performed on the metal surface to achieve a gradient nanostructure with refined grains at the nanoscale. Although there are various methods and techniques for large plastic deformation, due to the special shape of the pipe, there are not many technologies that can perform large surface plastic deformation on the pipe. The existing technologies for forming a gradient nanocrystalline structure on the surface of the pipe through large plastic deformation include shot peening and pulse impact technology, but due to the limitations of shot peening intensity and impact strength, under normal circumstances, the gradient nanocrystalline structure produced on the surface of the metal pipe is not obvious, the strengthening layer is thin, the strengthening effect is poor, and the comprehensive performance and service life of the metal pipe are not improved much. In addition, the existing surface gradient nanocrystalline structure strengthening technology has problems such as complex equipment, long process flow, and high processing cost. It is also impossible to perform large plastic deformation on the inner and outer walls of the metal pipe at the same time, resulting in low efficiency and poor quality in preparing the gradient nanostructure on the inner and outer walls of the metal pipe.

[0033] A device for preparing gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of a metal tube based on the above structure is used for preparing gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of a metal tube 6, such as Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The upper half of the dotted line in is a metallographic image of a metal tube 6 after a gradient nanostructure is prepared on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube by using the device for preparing a gradient nanostructure. Figure 5The lower half of the dotted line in is a metallographic image of the base layer structure of the metal tube 6. It is composed of an installation platform 1, a first fixing device 3, a tube rotating device 4, a first telescopic device 18, a tube outer wall rolling tool 16, a second fixing device 14, a tube fixing device 12, a second telescopic device 11, a third telescopic device 9 and a tube inner wall rolling tool 7. The device has a simple structure and low manufacturing and use costs. When preparing gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, the two ends of the metal tube 6 are respectively fixed on the tube rotating device 4 and clamped on the tube fixing device 12 (such as the left end of the metal tube 6 is fixed on the tube rotating device 4, and the right end of the metal tube 6 is clamped on the tube fixing device 12). The first telescopic device 18 works, and the first telescopic rod 17 of the first telescopic device 18 extends to make the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 abut against the outer wall of the metal tube 6 and press down to the designed depth (the depth of preparing the gradient nanostructure); the second telescopic device 11 works, and the second telescopic device 18 is extended to the outer wall rolling tool 16 of the metal tube 6. The second telescopic rod 10 is extended to drive the third telescopic device 9 to extend into the metal tube 6, so that the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 is arranged opposite to the tube inner wall rolling tool 7; the third telescopic device 9 works, and the third telescopic rod 8 of the third telescopic device 9 is extended, so that the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 is against the inner wall of the metal tube 6 and pressed down to the designed depth; the tube rotating device 4 works and rotates to drive the metal tube 6 to rotate, and the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 mechanically rolls the outer wall of the metal tube 6 in the radial direction, and the outer wall of the metal tube 6 is partially plastically deformed in the radial direction to form a gradient nanostructure, and the inner wall of the tube The rolling tool 7 mechanically rolls the inner wall of the metal tube 6 in the radial direction, and the inner wall of the metal tube 6 undergoes a large plastic deformation in the radial direction to form a gradient nanostructure; at the same time, the first fixing device 3 reciprocates relative to the tube outer wall rolling device (or the second fixing device 14), and the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 mechanically rolls the outer wall of the metal tube 6 in the axial direction, and the outer wall of the metal tube 6 undergoes a large plastic deformation in the axial direction to form a gradient nanostructure; the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 mechanically rolls the inner wall of the metal tube 6 in the axial direction, and the inner wall of the metal tube 6 undergoes a large plastic deformation in the axial direction to form a gradient nanostructure, and at the same time, the metal tube is completed. The gradient nanostructures are prepared on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, and the efficiency of preparing the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 is improved. For example, if the same gradient nanostructures are prepared on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, the existing device needs to prepare the gradient nanostructure on the outer wall of the metal tube 6 first, and then prepare the gradient nanostructure on the inner wall of the metal tube 6. However, the device for preparing the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 can simultaneously prepare the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, and the cycle of preparing the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 is halved, which greatly improves the efficiency of preparing the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6. The preparation process of the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 is simple, efficient, and low-cost, and can complete the preparation of the gradient nanostructures on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 at a low cost and high efficiency.The gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 formed by mechanical rolling has a thick strengthening layer and an obvious strengthening effect. The gradient nanostructure strengthening layer will not peel off from the base layer of the metal tube 6, thereby improving the quality of the gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, thereby greatly improving the comprehensive performance and service life of the metal tube 6, such as strength, toughness, oxidation resistance, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The tube rotating device 4 drives the metal tube 6 to rotate and the first fixing device 3 to move back and forth relative to the tube outer wall rolling device, so that the gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 is uniformly prepared, and the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 simultaneously produce grain refinement, further improving the quality of the gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, and further improving the comprehensive performance and service life of the metal tube 6. The device for preparing the gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube provided in this embodiment can not only prepare the gradient nanostructure of the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 at the same time, but also prepare the gradient nanostructure of the outer wall of the metal tube 6 alone, and can also prepare the gradient nanostructure of the inner wall of the metal tube 6 alone, which is very convenient.

[0034] Preferably, the first telescopic device 18, the second telescopic device 11 and the third telescopic device 9 are all hydraulic cylinders.

[0035] The hydraulic cylinder has a simple structure, high control accuracy, fast response speed, strong adaptability, and can stably provide strong thrust and pull, and is suitable for use as the first telescopic device 18, the second telescopic device 11, and the third telescopic device 9 of the present application. A first telescopic device base 19 is provided on the mounting platform 1, a second telescopic device base 13 is provided on the second fixing device 14, the hydraulic cylinder of the first telescopic device 18 is installed on the first telescopic device base 19, and the hydraulic cylinder of the second telescopic device 11 is installed on the second telescopic device base 13.

[0036] The depth to which the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 and the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 are pressed into the outer wall and inner wall corresponding to the metal tube 6 is H, and 10 μm≤H≤100 μm.

[0037] The depth H of the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 pressed into the outer wall of the metal tube 6 and the depth H of the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 pressed into the outer wall of the metal tube 6 can be within 10μm to 100μm, and can be specifically selected according to the designed processing size and performance of different metal tubes 6, such as the pressing depth is 10μm or 20μm or 50μm or 80μm or 100μm.

[0038] As an implementation method, Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the installation platform 1 is provided with a first slide rail 2, and the first fixing device 3 reciprocates along the first slide rail 2 relative to the tube outer wall rolling device.

[0039] For example, the first slide rail 2, the first fixing device 3 is connected to a slider that slides with the first slide rail 2, and the corresponding motor is connected to the slider through a connecting rod mechanism. The motor is externally connected to a power supply, and the motor is electrically connected to a controller. The controller controls the motor to start, driving the first fixing device 3 to move back and forth on the first slide rail 2, thereby realizing axial local large plastic deformation of the inner and outer walls of metal pipes 6 of different lengths to form a gradient nanostructure.

[0040] As an implementation method, Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the first fixing device 3 is provided with a second slide rail 5 , the pipe rotating device 4 moves along the second slide rail 5 , the second fixing device 14 is provided with a third slide rail 15 , and the pipe fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 move along the third slide rail 15 .

[0041] When the diameter of the metal tube 6 is large, the tube rotating device 4 moves up along the second slide rail 5, and the tube fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 move up along the third slide rail 15; when the diameter of the metal tube 6 is small, the tube rotating device 4 moves down along the second slide rail 5, and the tube fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 move down along the third slide rail 15. The axial local large plastic deformation of the inner and outer walls of the metal tubes 6 with different diameters is achieved to form a gradient nanostructure. The pipe rotating device 4 is connected to a slider that slides with the second slide rail 5, and the corresponding motor is connected to the slider through a connecting rod mechanism. The motor is externally connected to a power supply, and the motor is electrically connected to a controller. The controller controls the motor to start or stop, driving the pipe rotating device 4 to slide on the second slide rail 5. When the pipe rotating device 4 slides to a suitable position on the second slide rail 5, the motor stops running, and the pipe rotating device 4 stops sliding; the pipe fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 are respectively connected to the corresponding sliders that slide with the third slide rail 15, and the corresponding motors are connected to the corresponding sliders through a connecting rod mechanism. The motor is externally connected to a power supply, and the motor is electrically connected to a controller. The controller controls the motor to start or stop, driving the pipe fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 to slide on the third slide rail 15. When the pipe fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 slide to a suitable position, the motor stops running, and the pipe fixing device 12 and the second telescopic device 11 stop sliding. When the hydraulic cylinder of the second telescopic device 11 is installed on the second telescopic device base 13, the second telescopic device base 13 is connected to the corresponding slider that slides with the third slide rail 15, the motor is connected to an external power supply, the motor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the motor to start or stop.

[0042] As an implementation method, Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 and the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 are both spherical tools 20 .

[0043] The spherical tool 20 serves as the tube outer wall rolling tool 16 and the tube inner wall rolling tool 7 for mechanical rolling, which reduces damage to the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, ensures a smooth mechanical rolling process, makes the gradient nanostructure formed on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6 more uniform, improves the quality of the gradient nanostructure on the inner and outer walls of the metal tube 6, and improves the comprehensive performance and service life of the metal tube 6.

[0044] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, the spherical tool 20 includes a tool seat 201 and a spherical blade 202. The tool seat 201 is provided with a spherical groove matched with the spherical blade 202, and the spherical blade 202 is rotatably arranged in the spherical groove.

[0045] The spherical tool 20 is composed of a spherical blade 202 placed in a spherical groove of a tool seat 201. The spherical blade 202 rotates in the spherical groove of the seat 201, and the spherical blade 202 extends out of the groove edge of the spherical groove. It has a simple structure and low manufacturing and maintenance costs.

[0046] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, a lubricating layer 21 is provided between the inner wall of the spherical groove and the spherical blade 202 .

[0047] A lubricating layer 21 , such as a lubricating oil layer or a lubricating grease layer, is provided between the inner wall of the spherical groove and the spherical blade 202 to ensure that the spherical blade 202 runs smoothly in the blade seat 201 .

[0048] As an implementation method, Figure 3 As shown, a rubber ring 22 is provided at the groove edge of the spherical groove.

[0049] The rubber ring 22 arranged at the groove edge of the spherical groove plays a sealing role, which can prevent the lubricating oil or grease from flowing out, ensure that the spherical blade 202 runs smoothly in the blade seat 201 for a long time, and reduce the wear of the spherical blade 202 and the blade seat 201.

[0050] As an implementation method, Figure 4As shown, a protective cover 23 is provided on the mounting platform 1, and the first fixing device 3, the pipe rotating device 4, the first telescopic device 18, the pipe outer wall rolling tool 16, the second fixing device 14, the pipe fixing device 12, the second telescopic device 11, the third telescopic device 9 and the pipe inner wall rolling tool 7 are located in the protective cover 23. The protective cover 23 is provided with a medium injection port 24 for injecting a low-temperature medium. For example, the refinement effect of nickel alloy is more obvious at low temperature, and the nickel alloy pipe can produce a thicker strengthening layer at low temperature. When preparing a gradient nanostructure for the nickel alloy pipe, a low-temperature medium such as liquid nitrogen and liquid hydrogen is injected from the medium injection port 24. Further, an electromagnetic induction coil, laser heating, etc. can be arranged in the protective cover 23 to heat and increase the temperature of the metal pipe 6. For example, magnesium alloy is difficult to deform at low temperature, and a certain temperature (such as 200°C) is required to complete large surface plastic deformation. The protective cover 23 is filled with a low-temperature medium, an electromagnetic induction coil, and laser heating, so that the ambient temperature can be controlled, thereby achieving large plastic deformation of the metal pipes 6 made of different materials.
