TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechanical processing, and particularly relates to a method for determining a surface strengthening process of a spinning roller. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal spinning forming is a progressive and continuous incremental forming process in which local micro-deformation is accumulated to complete the forming. In each processing moment, the contact area between the spinning roller and the workpiece is small, which can be approximated as point deformation. Therefore, the spinning force is relatively small compared with other pressure processing technologies such as forging, rolling and extrusion. The spinning process can be realized by a small pressure equipment to process large size parts, which is a typical 'low load forming' labor-saving forming process. The force diagram of the contact between the spinning roller and the workpiece is shown in FIG. 1. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the force between the spinning roller and the workpiece surface during the spinning process is complex. The decompositions of the resultant force P in the radial direction, axial direction and tangential direction are P L , P R and P T' , respectively. The three-direction force determines the complexity and wearability of the spinning roller working condition, in which P L and P R have a direct impact on the wear of the spinning roller. The working profile of the spinning roller is in contact with the workpiece under heavy load and small contact surface extrusion. The spinning roller body is connected with the transmission part. Therefore, the working profile of the spinning roller needs to have high quenching hardness, strength, stiffness, wear resistance and the ability to resist small deformation and certain impact, and needs to have high toughness. The main body of the spinning roller needs to have high strength and toughness, while the hardness cannot be too high, so as to avoid stress concentration and cracking at the sharp corners such as keyways, which affects the rigidity and structural stability of the spinning roller as a whole.
[0003] During the entire spinning forming process, the extrusion force between the contact area of the spinning roller and the workpiece is very large, which can reach several gigapascals. The spinning roller and the workpiece are subjected to severe friction. The apparent quality condition (shape, accuracy, roughness, hardness, etc.) of the working part of the spinning roller will also be directly reflected on the outer surface of the workpiece, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 2
[0004] According to statistics, currently, one spinning roller needs to be replaced and repaired once for every 180-200 medium and small diameter cylindrical products. It is necessary to select a suitable surface strengthening process to improve the comprehensive performance of the spinning roller surface, reduce failure and prolong the service life. The currently mature surface modification technologies include surface carburizing, surface nitriding, carbonitriding, nitrocarburizing and QPQ technology. Through the strengthening treatment of the surface of the part, the strength of the surface layer material or the prestress state of the surface layer material can be improved to effectively inhibit the generation and development of fatigue cracks, thereby improving the working performance and service life of the spinning roller.
[0005] At present, there are few studies on the surface strengthening technology of spiral gears at home and abroad, and the surface strengthening technology of gears and Cr12MoV die steel can be referred to. At present, the advanced surface strengthening methods include laser cladding, ultrasonic rolling and ultrasonic shot peening technology. In the paper "Study on Wear Resistance of Cr12MoV Die Steel Laser Cladding Composite Ultra-hard Layer[J]. Forging Technology", 2019, 44(08), by Bi Yan et al., a millimeter-level cladding layer is formed by using SKD11 powder laser cladding method, and a micron-level ultra-hard vanadium carbide layer is formed on the laser cladding layer by using TD thermal diffusion method. The composite ultra-hard layer is combined closely, and the wear life is significantly improved.
[0006] In the paper "Research Status and Application of Ultrasonic Shot Peening Surface Strengthening Technology", by Cong Jiahui et al., the influence of ultrasonic shot peening on the surface integrity, fatigue strength and corrosion resistance of materials is summarized, the application status of ultrasonic shot peening is summarized, and it is pointed out that the ultrasonic shot peening technology needs to be combined with basic theory to explore the optimal process parameters and conduct in-depth research to realize the balance of strengthening quality and efficiency, reduce processing cost, and promote large-scale engineering application of ultrasonic shot peening. Dai Qilong et al. theoretically analyzed the ultrasonic rolling process, established a theoretical model of the surface roughness of the sample after ultrasonic rolling, and verified the theoretical model by experiment. Secondly, single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment of ultrasonic rolling were carried out by using ultrasonic rolling device, and the influence law and degree of each process parameter on surface integrity were obtained. The above surface strengthening technologies are in the stage of experiment or popularization and use, and the cost is high, and the process scheme is not stable enough.
[0007] Mature surface strengthening technologies include surface carburizing, surface nitriding, carbonitriding, nitrocarburizing and QPQ technology. Steel carburizing is to heat low-carbon steel to high temperature in a carbon-rich medium, so that active carbon atoms can penetrate into the surface of the steel to obtain a high-carbon layer. Subsequently, quenching and low-temperature tempering are carried out to make the surface have high hardness, wear resistance and fatigue resistance, while the matrix still maintains sufficient strength and toughness. Similarly, steel nitriding is a chemical heat treatment process that allows nitrogen atoms to penetrate the surface of the steel to form a hard nitrogen-rich layer. At present, the above technologies have been maturely applied to engineering practice, and the process method is stable and suitable for batch customization. On this basis, the process of nitriding and carburizing at the same time to promote the diffusion of nitrogen atoms is called nitrocarburizing. QPQ technology is a salt bath liquid nitriding technology, which realizes the combination of nitriding process and oxidation process, generates a double-layer nitriding layer on the surface of the base material, and has the characteristics of high hardness and high wear resistance. SUMMARY
[0008] In order to overcome the low surface strength and short service life of the spiral gear in the prior art, the present application provides a method for determining the surface strengthening process of the spiral gear.
[0009] 1. A method for determining the surface strengthening process of a spiral gear, characterized in that the specific process is:
[0010] Step 1, preparing test block:
[0011] The test block has multiple blocks, which are divided into three test groups, respectively, nitriding treatment test group, nitrocarburizing treatment test group and surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment test group.
[0012] The material of the test block is the same as the runner body; the surface roughness of the test block is ≤Ra0.8.
[0013] Step 2, different nitriding treatment test:
[0014] The surface nitriding treatment test, nitrocarburizing treatment test and surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment test are respectively carried out on the test block of the nitriding treatment test group, the test block of the nitrocarburizing treatment test group and the test block of the surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment test group. Through the analysis of the test data, the surface strengthening process of the runner is determined.
[0015] The nitriding treatment test group is subjected to nitriding treatment. The process route of the surface nitriding treatment is preheating-heating-heat preservation-exhaust cooling, and a strengthened layer with a thickness of 9-12μm is obtained.
[0016] The nitrocarburizing process route is preheating-heating-heat preservation-exhaust cooling; the nitriding layer is the strengthened layer of the test block.
[0017] The surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment process route is preheating-heating-salt bath heat preservation-exhaust cooling; a strengthened layer with a thickness of 5-8μm is obtained.
[0018] Among them: the process of surface nitriding treatment test of the test block of the nitriding treatment test group is that the test blocks in the nitriding treatment test group are heated to 520-550℃ by the heating furnace at a heating rate of 10-15℃ / min. When the test blocks are preheated to 200℃, nitrogen is introduced. After the test blocks are heated to 520-550℃, heat preservation is started; the heat preservation time is 30h. After the heat preservation is over, the furnace is cooled to room temperature. In the nitriding treatment, the ammonia decomposition rate of the nitrogen is 30%-50%.
[0019] The process of surface nitrocarburizing treatment test of the test block of the nitrocarburizing treatment test group is that the test blocks in the nitrocarburizing treatment test group are heated to 630-690℃ by the heating furnace at a heating rate of 10-15℃ / min. When the test blocks are heated to 630-690℃, heat preservation is started; the heat preservation time is 120-180min. After the heat preservation is over, the furnace is cooled to room temperature, and a nitriding layer with a thickness of 5-6μm is obtained on the surface. In the nitrocarburizing treatment, the ammonia gas is introduced at a rate of 200L / min, and the methanol is introduced at a rate of 30mL / min.
[0020] The test block of the surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment test group is preheated to 200 DEG C. The preheated test block is placed in a nitriding salt bath pool at 530-590 DEG C, and is kept for 60-120 min. After the keeping, it is cooled to room temperature.
[0021] Step 3, determining the surface strengthening mode of the runner:
[0022] The surface hardness and friction and wear performance of each strengthened layer obtained by the surface nitriding treatment test, the nitrocarburizing treatment test and the surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment test in step 2 are tested respectively, and the following results are obtained: the surface hardness of the surface nitriding process is HV1075, the friction coefficient is 0.706, and the wear amount is 0.903 / 10 6 μm 3 ; the surface hardness of the nitrocarburizing process is HV1037, the friction coefficient is 0.713, and the wear amount is 3.002 / 10 6 μm 3 ; the surface hardness of the surface composite QPQ salt bath process is HV959, the friction coefficient is 0.749, and the wear amount is 0.557 / 10 6 μm 3 .
[0023] The surface hardness and friction and wear performance of each strengthened layer are comprehensively determined, and the surface composite QPQ salt bath method is determined as the surface strengthening mode of the runner.

[0084] The surface composite QPQ salt bath treatment process route is preheating-heating-salt bath holding-degassing cooling, and the specific process is as follows:
[0085] Each test block is preheated to 200℃. The preheated test block is placed in a nitriding salt bath pool at 530-590℃, and is held for 60-120min. After holding, it is cooled to room temperature to obtain a 5-8μm thick infiltration layer, i.e. a strengthening layer.
