Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a kind of deposition forming device and method, belong to metal material connection technical field. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of automobile, ship, aerospace, industrial manufacturing, due to the special needs of material mechanical, corrosion resistance and weight control, etc., the material selection requirement is higher, and the dissimilar composite structure material such as aluminum steel is gradually replacing single metal material for production and manufacturing due to its lightweight and excellent mechanical properties. However, due to the great difference in physical properties between steel and aluminum alloy and the intermetallic compound generated during the connection process, it greatly limits and affects the size and mechanical properties of the joint.
[0003] Friction stir additive manufacturing technology does not involve melting and solidification of materials, effectively avoiding the generation of defects such as pores and cracks in the heterogeneous metal shaped transition joint, but it is limited in the manufacture of heterogeneous metal shaped transition joints with various shapes. Progressive forming technology does not require special molds, and through the gradual advancement of small area plastic deformation, the final forming effect can be achieved, and heterogeneous metal shaped transition joints with various shapes can be manufactured, but the freedom is limited when forming on existing plates. Therefore, the present application combines friction stir additive manufacturing technology and progressive forming technology, and innovatively proposes friction stir progressive deposition forming technology, which can manufacture heterogeneous metal shaped transition joints with various shapes and excellent performance.
[0004] In the forming process of friction stir progressive forming technology, the stir head breaks the oxide film in the metal on both sides of the joint by rotation and extrusion impact, and at the same time, the dislocation channel generated by the strong plastic deformation of the material drives the rapid diffusion of atoms to form. At the same time, in the friction stir progressive forming, due to the fast atom diffusion speed, low forming peak temperature and short high temperature residence time, the thickness of intermetallic compound can be effectively controlled, and the comprehensive performance of the joint can be improved. However, the rapid diffusion of atoms caused by the stir head can increase the thickness of intermetallic compound, and the thickness of intermetallic compound can be controlled by controlling the forming process parameters to improve the quality of the joint. Further, taking the manufacture of aluminum steel transition joint as an example, for friction stir welding of aluminum steel joint, due to the difference in melting point of the two, only limited thickness of steel plate can be welded, and welding of steel plate with wide thickness range cannot be realized. However, friction stir progressive deposition forming technology can realize the welding of aluminum alloy on the surface of steel plate with adjustable thickness by continuous feeding of aluminum alloy wire, crushing, accumulation and stirring of the wire, hot plasticization of the aluminum alloy wire, and then depositing on the surface of the steel plate. Friction stir progressive deposition forming technology can manufacture aluminum steel transition joints with various shapes due to its ability to control the deposition direction and sequence of hot plastic aluminum alloy and the position and sequence of progressive forming.
[0005] Therefore, the heterogeneous metal special-shaped transition joint manufacturing device based on the friction stir progressive deposition forming technology can manufacture the heterogeneous metal special-shaped transition joint with excellent mechanical properties and personalized shape structure, and meets the urgent needs in the fields of automobiles, ships, aerospace, industrial manufacturing and the like.

[0059] Specific implementation method six: Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a method for forming a heterogeneous metal special-shaped transition joint by friction stir progressive deposition is provided, and the specific steps include:
[0060] Step 1: Adjust the position of the movable storage component 2 according to the forming requirements, start the machine to rotate the main shaft to drive the rotating component 1 to start rotating, and the device gradually approaches the steel surface according to the program. After the stirring head 104 rotates and penetrates the steel plate, it stays for a predetermined time, and then immediately starts the wire feeder. The aluminum alloy wire enters the cavity between the movable storage component and the rotating component 1 through the feeding hole 20401. Under the rotational shearing action of the threaded portion 103 of the rotating component 1, it is broken into small metal segments and then transported downward along the threaded rod 10301 under the action of gravity;
[0061] Step 2: The crushed small aluminum alloy segments are continuously accumulated in the cavity between the movable storage component 2 and the rotating component 1, and are further deformed and then thermoplasticized under the rotational extrusion of the threaded portion 103. The thermoplasticized aluminum alloy is deposited and formed under the forging and impact of the circular bottom shoulder 205 of the movable storage component 2 and the cooling effect of external airflow. The high-speed rotation and extrusion of the stirring head 104 of the rotating component 1 will break the oxide film in the aluminum steel and create fast channels such as dislocations to accelerate the flow and diffusion of the thermoplastic aluminum alloy, achieving reliable interlayer bonding. At the same time, the stirring head 104 performs point-by-point impact and progressive shaping on the newly deposited aluminum alloy to obtain the desired shape joint.
[0062] Step 3: During the forming process, the height of the movable material storage component 2 is adjusted as needed to adjust the thickness of the thermoplastic aluminum alloy accumulated between the round bottom shaft shoulder 205 and the pattern surface, thereby accelerating the forming speed.
[0063] The spindle of the machine tool remains at an angle during the forming process, the orientation of the fixed components of the forming device remains unchanged, and the feeding hole 20401 of the feeding portion 204 has a diameter of 1 to 5 mm, which can meet the wire feeding process of aluminum alloy wires of different sizes.
[0064] The movable storage component 2, the rotating component 1, the fixed connection mechanism 4 and the large belt wheel 305 are coaxially installed, the round bottom shaft shoulder part 205 of the movable storage component 2 satisfies that when moving to the top end in the moving interval, the bottom end of the threaded part 103 of the rotating component 1 is flush, and when moving to the bottom end, the circular end face above the stirring head 104 is flush;
[0065] The threaded part 103 of the rotating component 1 is not limited to the outer convex screw structure, and can also be a screw groove structure. The manufacturing materials of the joint manufacturing mechanism 1, 2 and the fixed connection mechanism 4 are steel, and the material of the stirring head 104 can be WC-Co, so as to ensure high strength;
[0066] The shape of the stirring head 104 is not limited to a symmetrical hemispherical shape, and can also be designed as an eccentric hemispherical stirring head 104, so that the stirring effect on the material is more sufficient. According to the set gradual deposition forming thickness, stirring heads 104 of different heights can be selected, generally 1-3 mm.
[0067] The potential rotation of the movable storage component 2 is caused by the accumulation of thermoplastic aluminum alloy between the movable storage component 2 and the rotating component 1, which is bonded between the two after solidification, causing slight disturbance of the movable storage component 2 when the rotating component 1 rotates, resulting in the possibility of rotation of the movable storage component 2;
[0068] Compared with the flat bottom shaft shoulder, the round bottom shaft shoulder can realize forming on the curved surface, and the use scene is more complex and diverse. Since the transmission part 201 can realize the up and down movement of the movable storage component 2, its function is to adjust the distance between the round bottom shaft shoulder part 205 and the surface of the formed plate, so that the thickness of the thermoplastic aluminum alloy accumulated between them each time can be adjusted, and then the forming process speed is adjusted, and the joint manufacturing efficiency is improved.
[0069] The stirring head 104 can accelerate the flow of thermoplastic aluminum alloy by stirring the aluminum alloy, so that the atomic distribution of the joint is more uniform, and can also break the oxide film in aluminum and steel and create dislocation and other atomic diffusion fast channels to accelerate the forming process and realize excellent bonding between aluminum and steel. On the other hand, the stirring head 104 can realize the manufacturing of joints of different shapes by gradually extruding and bumping the thermoplastic joint point by point. In addition, if the reinforcing phase (such as aluminum-silicon alloy) is added in advance on the steel, the stirring head can realize the uniform dispersion distribution of the reinforcing phase in the aluminum-steel matrix through stirring, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the joint.
[0070] The outer diameter of the trapezoidal screw rod designed for the transmission part 201 of the movable storage component 2 is 42.6 mm, the inner diameter is 42.5 mm, the internal hollow part column diameter is 36 mm, and the whole is made of steel. When the hollow screw rod has a cross-sectional area A = 257.9 mm 2 . For steel material, assuming that the yield strength = , the allowable normal stress , taking the safety factor n = 2, then = , according to = , can be obtained , , it can withstand at least one ton of force. Again through the nut and screw contact strength calculation, the design of the thread diameter = , the number of threads = 10 nut height = 30mm, according to Assuming the allowable pressure [p] = 100MPa, = 41144930N, it can be seen that the strength is very high. Can reach the use requirements. Mobile storage component 2 outer wall can open a groove to make excess accumulation of aluminum alloy overflow, prevent the movable storage component 2 and the rotating part 1 between the excess accumulation of aluminum alloy caused by blockage, affect the normal wire feeding.

At the same time, the stirring head (104) performs point-by-point impact and progressive forming on the newly deposited aluminum alloy to obtain a joint of the desired shape. Step 3: During the forming process, the height of the movable material storage component (2) is adjusted as needed to adjust the thickness of the thermoplastic aluminum alloy accumulated between the round bottom shaft shoulder (205) and the pattern surface, thereby achieving the purpose of accelerating the forming speed.
