[0053] Description of the present invention on the detection of common defects of spinning cylinder

[0054] Spin forming uses a spinning wheel to roll the forging blank into a thin-walled cylinder consistent with the mold through mechanical methods such as extrusion, pushing and pulling. The push-pull force will form longitudinal (axial) defects, and the spinning pressure of the spinning wheel will form transverse (circumferential) defects. Whether it is cracks, delamination, folding or peeling, this is related to the material process control during the forging process of the blank, but it will form longitudinal, transverse or angled defects.

[0055] (1) Delamination, peeling and thickness measurement

[0056] Delamination and peeling defects usually occur in the thickness direction of the cylinder, that is, if they exist, the thickness of the cylinder will decrease. According to the defect characteristics, the present invention uses a phased array 0-degree linear scanning method for detection. In order to improve the thickness measurement accuracy, a high-frequency delay probe is selected and combined with a high-sampling frequency multi-channel board for thickness measurement.

[0057] (2) Detection of transverse (circumferential) defects

[0058] As attached Fig.13 The figure shows the installation method and orientation of the probe and wedge block during transverse (circumferential) measurement. In view of the characteristics of transverse defects, the present invention designs and customizes a phased array probe with an axial array arrangement direction and a wedge block angle of 0°. The electronic deflection function of the phased array technology is used to transmit the sound beam in both directions of ±45 degrees and deflect in groups to detect transverse defects of the cylinder.

[0059] (3) Detection of longitudinal (axial) defects

[0060] As attached Fig.14 The figure shows the installation method and orientation of the probe and wedge block during the actual measurement of longitudinal (axial) defects. According to the characteristics of longitudinal defects, the present invention designs and customizes a phased array probe with an axial arrangement direction, a wedge block angle of 45°, a circumferential wedge direction, and a transverse installation to detect transverse defects of the cylinder.

[0061] (4) Air drying module

[0062] In the present invention, after the cylinder is inspected, the cylinder needs to be dried to prevent the coupling agent from corroding the cylinder. A gantry track 71 is designed for products of different lengths, so that the gantry 72 can move on the gantry track 71 to cover the entire cylinder. In order to achieve the effect of drying around the cylinder, the gantry 72 is designed, and exhaust ports are set on both sides and the top to ensure that there is airflow around the cylinder in the passing area. In order to accelerate drying, a hot air duct 73 and a hot air unit 74 are designed so that hot air is blown out of the exhaust port to increase the drying speed.

[0063] The present invention can not only be used for phased array detection of spun cylinders, but also can detect cylinder welds, the bonding interface between cylinder metal shells and internal non-metallic materials, and defects in cylinder fiber-wound shells by adjusting the probes in the probe module and changing the signal processing.

[0064] Detection experiment

[0065] The detection experimental method of the present invention measures the transverse defects, longitudinal defects and thickness of the actual spun cylinder, and compares it with the conventional ultrasonic "QJ20243-2012 Ultrasonic Detection Method for Ultra-High Strength Steel Strong Spinning Thin-Wall Products". Both can achieve its defect detection capability and further demonstrate the unique advantages of the ultrasonic phased array.

[0066] (1) Simulate delamination and peeling defects

[0067] The flat bottom hole processed on the spinning cylinder is used to simulate the detection of delamination and peeling defects. The specific defect scale of the artificial flat bottom hole is as shown in the attached figure. Fig.15 The artificial defect sizes are shown in Table 1.

[0068] Table 1 Artificial defect design

[0069]

[0070] In accordance with the AA grade requirements of the standard "QJ20243-2012 Ultrasonic Testing Method for Ultra-High Strength Steel Strong Spinning Thin-walled Products", artificial defects were designed and produced as shown in Table 2.

[0071] Table 2 Quality acceptance level of spinning products

[0072]

[0073] The ultrasonic phased array test results are shown in the attached Fig.16 As shown, it can be clearly seen from the detection image that the set artificial defects can be accurately detected.

[0074] (2) Simulation of transverse and longitudinal defects

[0075] The horizontal and vertical grooves processed on the spinning cylinder are used to simulate the detection of horizontal and vertical crack defects. The thickness of the workpiece to be inspected is 3.5mm, and two horizontal and vertical grooves are processed, with dimensions of 20mm*0.4mm*0.2mm (length*width*depth) and 20mm*0.8mm*0.4mm (length*width*depth). Fig.17 shown.

[0076] In accordance with the standard "GB / T5777-2019 Full Circumferential Automatic Ultrasonic Testing of Longitudinal and / or Transverse Defects in Seamless and Welded Steel Pipes", the groove size achieved this time reached U3 level and is close to U2 level.

[0077] Table 3 Acceptance level and corresponding comparison of groove depth

[0078]

[0079] The ultrasonic phased array detection results are shown in Table 3. It can be seen from the detection images that the artificial defects set can be effectively detected by the phased array detection method of the present invention, and both the signal-to-noise ratio and imaging can achieve good results.

[0080] (3) Conventional and phased array comparison test

[0081] Based on the defects of the actual spinning cylinder, conventional ultrasonic and phased array comparative tests were carried out, as shown in the attached Fig.19 shown.

[0082] As can be seen from the figure, for defects on the physical object, the phased array can also clearly detect those that can be detected by conventional ultrasound. In addition, the phased array can perform a variety of imaging methods, realize two-dimensional or even three-dimensional data storage and recording, and realize two-dimensional quantification.
