Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plastic processing, and relates to a plastic processing method through extrusion deformation, and in particular to a processing method for reducing extrusion-formed metal peeling. Background Art
[0002] A tubular part is often used in aircraft control and lift systems. The structural characteristics of this part are that the outer diameter is thin and the wall is thick at both ends, the outer diameter is thick and the wall is thin in the middle, the inner cavity is hollow, and the appearance is shuttle-shaped. Generally, the internal thread is processed by using the thicker tube wall at both ends. Parts with this structure have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, and resistance to tension, compression, twisting, and bending. It can withstand static and dynamic loads during use. Since such parts are often used for flight attitude control and directly affect flight safety during flight, they are often defined as key or important parts.
[0003] Based on the closed cavity-like structure of this part, traditional machining methods cannot reach the inner surface of the part, and the tissue fibers are cut off during the machining process, which is not conducive to the parts achieving excellent mechanical properties. The ideal part performance can be more easily obtained by plastic processing, which generally adopts hot extrusion or cold rotary forging process methods. Compared with the two methods, the dynamic load performance of the parts processed by hot extrusion will be better. However, the hot extrusion method also has certain technical bottlenecks. That is, during the hot extrusion process, if the lubrication effect is poor, the pipe and the mold are prone to adhesion, and the outer surface of the pipe is partially peeled off. After the pipe is peeled off, the size of the subsequent processing blank is insufficient; the peeled metal has a high bonding strength with the mold. During reprocessing, the peeled metal hinders the flow of the pipe in the mold, and the pipe cannot be reshaped into a qualified size part. Therefore, the use of lubricants is related to the extrusion forming effect and the continuous service life of the mold.
[0004] There are two commonly used high temperature extrusion lubrication methods:
[0005] One is to use graphite powder-mineral oil lubricant. The advantage is that the materials involved are simple and easy to obtain. The disadvantage is that mineral oil produces a large amount of irritating gas in a high temperature environment, and it is also easy to produce open flames, which leads to a poor working environment and low production safety. Abrasive texturing does not improve the adhesion of the lubricant much. The metal of the parts often peels off at the beginning of the extruded parts and sticks to the mold, which shows that the lubricant fails to form an effective and complete isolation layer between the parts and the mold.
[0006] The second is to use glass composite lubricants. The advantage is good lubrication effect, but the disadvantage is that composite lubricants produce a certain amount of irritating gas in a high temperature environment. After cooling, the composite lubricant forms residues, which contain sharp structures of broken glass, which can easily cause personal injury. The working environment is also poor and production safety is low. In the high-speed extrusion process, the limited fluidity of glass can also easily cause metal peeling of parts. Summary of the invention
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a processing method for reducing metal peeling during extrusion forming. By using automated equipment for pre-processing before forming, an excellent graphite coating effect is obtained, the metal peeling during extrusion forming is reduced, and a low-cost, high-quality extrusion forming effect is achieved.
[0008] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0009] A processing method for reducing extrusion metal peeling comprises the following steps:
[0010] S1, plugging one end of the area to be formed of the pipe;
[0011] S2, shot peening the area of the pipe to be formed;
[0012] S3, spraying a water-based colloidal graphite lubricant on the area to be formed of the pipe;
[0013] S4, drying the tube end sprayed with the water-based colloidal graphite lubricant to form a graphite dry film outside the area to be formed;
[0014] S5, the end of the tube in the area to be formed is squeezed into a high-temperature forming die. During the shrinkage of the tube, the pits formed by shot peening are gradually deformed, and the graphite dry film is gradually discharged from the pits to form a lubricant supplement.
[0015] Furthermore, in S1, after the pipe is sealed, the pipe is placed vertically, and a low-melting-point alloy with a melting point of 85° C. is injected, the injection amount exceeds the height of the forming zone, and the pipe is cooled to room temperature.
[0016] Furthermore, in S4, after drying, the low melting point alloy melts and falls off.
[0017] Furthermore, in S2, cast steel shots with a diameter of 0.58 mm to 1.17 mm are used to spray around the surface of the to-be-formed area of the pipe, forming dense and uniform pits on the surface of the pipe.
[0018] Further, in S3, the sprayed water-based graphite lubricant coating completely covers the pipe metal, and then the plugging of the pipe end is removed.
[0019] Furthermore, in S4, the end of the tube in the area to be formed is placed in a 200° C. heating coil for low-temperature drying for 5 minutes.
[0020] Furthermore, in S5, the end of the tube is squeezed into the high-temperature forming die at a speed of 1 mm / s to 3 mm / s.
[0021] Furthermore, in S5, the temperature of the high temperature forming mold is 500°C to 550°C.
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0023] 1. The processing method for reducing metal peeling during extrusion molding described in the present invention improves the lubrication form of the pipe end, and the improved lubrication performance is enhanced, which basically eliminates the metal peeling during the extrusion molding process and improves the product qualification rate.
[0024] 2. The processing method for reducing extrusion metal peeling described in the present invention is a simple and practical process method in each step during implementation, which is easy to implement through automation and integration, and can improve efficiency and reduce costs for mass production.
[0025] 3. The processing method for reducing extrusion-molded metal peeling described in the present invention has no irritating gas release, no open flame, no sharp residue generation, and is environmentally friendly and safe during use.
[0026] 4. After pouring the low melting point alloy, the inner wall of the tube is supported, which reduces the vibration of the tube during the outer surface processing and prevents the lubricant from being sprayed on the inner wall of the tube.
[0027] 5. The shot peening process of the present invention is to form pits on the surface of the pipe, to provide support for the adhesion of the water-based graphite lubricant coating, and more importantly, to provide a storage place for the graphite dry film; when the pipe enters the extrusion processing stage, the stored graphite dry film is softened by the high temperature mold, and the pits are squeezed out at the same time, providing timely and effective supplement for lubrication.
[0028] 6. When the low-temperature pipe end is squeezed into the high-temperature mold, the surface of the high-temperature mold first contacts the graphite dry film, forming heat conduction, and then the heat is conducted from the graphite dry film and the outside of the pipe end to the inside. Since the heat is conducted from the outside to the inside, the metal temperature on the outside is higher and the metal temperature on the inside is lower, the metal strength on the outside is reduced, and the pits on the outer surface gradually collapse under the extrusion force of the mold. The graphite dry film lubricant in the pits overflows one by one, and the lubricating layer of the graphite dry film is continuously replenished, which promotes the barrier effect between the mold and the outer surface of the pipe and reduces the risk of metal adhesion or even peeling.
[0029] 7. Since the forming process is gradual, the temperature of the outer metal and the inner metal are both rising, but a certain temperature difference is always maintained, so the strength of the inner material is relatively high, providing better support stability for the forming process.
[0030] 8. During the forming process, the pipe end is subjected to the radial force provided by the high-temperature mold, and the pipe end is formed into a narrowing state; after the pipe end forming purpose is achieved, the pipe is pulled out of the forming mold, and all the remaining pits are greatly reduced by the extrusion depth, which can be removed in the subsequent necessary mechanical polishing process of the pipe surface.

[0043] S1, plugging one end of the area to be formed of the pipe;
[0044] S2, shot peening the area of the pipe to be formed;

[0054] In S5, the temperature of the high temperature forming die is 500°C to 550°C.
[0055] Embodiment 2:
[0056] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing method for reducing the peeling of extruded metal. The pipe end is sealed with a rubber plug or a wooden plug, the pipe is placed vertically, and a low-melting-point alloy with a melting point of 85°C is injected. The injection amount exceeds the height of the forming area, generally 80mm to 100mm, and then cooled to room temperature. After the low-melting-point alloy is poured, the inner wall of the pipe is supported, which reduces the vibration of the pipe during the outer surface processing and prevents the lubricant from being sprayed on the inner wall of the pipe. Shot peening technology is used to process the forming area of the pipe end, that is, the area where the lubricant needs to be coated. Cast steel shots are generally selected for shot peening, and the shot diameter is 0.58mm to 1.17mm. By adjusting the air flow velocity and the spraying distance, dense and uniform pits with a maximum diameter of 0.4mm to 0.5mm are formed on the surface. In the forming area, a water-based colloidal graphite lubricant is sprayed, and the lubricant coating is preferably used to completely cover the metal, and the rubber plug or wooden plug is removed. The tube end sprayed with water-based colloidal graphite lubricant is placed in a 200℃ heating coil for 5 minutes for drying. After drying, the low melting point alloy melts and falls off, and the area to be formed is adhered by a graphite dry film. During forming, the tube end is squeezed into a 500℃ to 550℃ high-temperature forming mold at a speed of 1mm / s to 3mm / s. The high temperature reduces the strength of the metal. Under the action of the radial component force, the material shrinks with the mold surface. During the shrinking process, the surface graphite lubrication layer isolates the tube from the mold surface. The pit gradually deforms as the material is squeezed. The volume of the pit decreases during the deformation process, and the graphite is gradually discharged from the pit, forming a supplement for the lubricant, which can greatly improve the integrity of the lubrication layer, reduce the probability of contact and adhesion between the tube end material and the mold surface, and thus reduce the possibility of metal peeling during the extrusion forming process.
[0057] The technical solution of the present invention is a processing method for reducing extrusion metal peeling, comprising the following specific steps:
[0058] 1. Seal the end of the pipe 1 with a plug 2, place the pipe 1 vertically, inject a low-melting-point alloy 3 with a melting point of 85°C, and the injection height 4 is generally 80mm to 100mm. The injection height 4 is required to exceed the forming area height 5, and cool to room temperature.
[0059] 2. Cast steel shots 6 with a diameter of 0.58 mm to 1.17 mm are used to spray around the surface of the forming area of the pipe 1, and dense and uniform pits 7 with a maximum diameter of 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm are formed on the surface of the pipe 1 within the spraying range.
[0060] 3. Spray water-based colloidal graphite lubricant 8 around the surface of the forming area of the pipe 1. The coating of water-based graphite lubricant 8 is preferably enough to completely cover the metal of the pipe 1. Remove the plug 2.
[0061] 4. The end of the pipe 1 sprayed with the water-based colloidal graphite lubricant 8 is placed in a 200° C. heating coil 9 for 5 minutes for drying. After low-temperature heating, the low-melting-point alloy 3 melts and falls off, and a graphite dry film 10 is formed on the end of the pipe 1.
[0062] 5. During forming, the end of the pipe 1 is squeezed into a high-temperature forming die 11 at 500°C to 550°C at a speed of 1mm / s to 3mm / s. The high temperature reduces the strength of the metal. Under the action of the radial force, the end of the pipe 1 shrinks along with the surface of the forming die 11.
[0063] 6. During the shrinking process, the lubricating layer of the graphite dry film 10 on the end surface of the tube 1 isolates the tube 1 from the molding surface of the forming die 11. The pit 7 is gradually deformed as the tube 1 is squeezed. The volume of the pit 7 decreases during the deformation process, and the graphite dry film 10 is gradually discharged from the pit 7, forming a supplement to the lubricating layer of the graphite dry film 10.
[0064] 7. After the end of the pipe 1 is formed, the pipe 1 is pulled out from the forming die 11. The depth of all remaining pits 7 is greatly reduced after extrusion, and can be removed in the subsequent necessary mechanical polishing process of the surface of the pipe 1.
