Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of processing weak-rigidity thin-walled components, and in particular relates to a composite material cutting device and method. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum-based silicon carbide material is a new type of composite material that has developed rapidly in recent years. It has the advantages of high specific strength, high specific modulus, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high thermal conductivity, etc.; but a series of excellent properties are obtained at the expense of the material's plasticity, toughness and machinability. During the cutting process, the tool alternately cuts the softer plastic aluminum matrix and the high-hardness brittle silicon carbide particles, which has a greater impact on the tool, and the cutting edge is prone to cracking when using ceramic tools.
[0003] It is generally believed that when the ratio of the wall thickness to the inner diameter curvature radius (or profile size) of a part is less than 1:20, it is called a thin-walled part. Thin-walled shell parts are widely used due to their light weight, compact structure, superior overall performance, and material saving. However, as the wall thickness of the part decreases, the rigidity of the part becomes poor. Under the action of cutting force, the machining system of the thin-walled part is prone to vibration, local elastic deformation, and overall machining deformation caused by uneven distribution of residual stress, which will directly affect the machining accuracy of the part and further affect the use effect of the part.
[0004] Due to the special characteristics of the material, the thin-walled shell parts made of aluminum-based silicon carbide have poor plasticity and toughness. The vibration during the processing not only affects the processing accuracy, but also causes the cutting edge of the tool to break. In severe cases, it even causes cracks in the material, resulting in the scrapping of the parts. Based on the above technical difficulties, how to solve the processing technology solution of high-precision aluminum-based silicon carbide thin-walled shell parts, ensure the processing accuracy of parts, and reduce the processing cost of parts has become a problem that process technicians need to solve urgently.

A composite material cutting method using the device as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step S1: Fixing a thin-walled workpiece (4) on a spindle (2) of a machine tool (1) by a fixture (3); Step S2: the spindle (2) drives the thin-walled workpiece (4) to rotate; Step S3: the follower support mechanism (9) rolls with the inner wall of the thin-walled workpiece (4) through the rolling wheel (901), and applies a pre-pressure to the thin-walled workpiece (4); Step S4: preheating the thin-walled workpiece (4) by means of a heating module (8); Step S5: cutting the preheated thin-walled workpiece (4) by means of a tool feeding mechanism (7), and cooling the cut portion of the thin-walled workpiece (4) by means of cooling water; Step S6: the wire encoder (904) detects the feeding deformation information of the thin-walled workpiece (4) online and outputs it; the vibration sensor (905) collects the spatial vibration information of the contact point between the rolling wheel (901) and the thin-walled workpiece (4); Step S7: when the feed deformation information of the thin-walled workpiece (4) detected by the wire encoder (904) does not reach the set value, repeating steps S3 to S6; Step S8: the tool feeding mechanism (7) moves axially until the entire cutting process of the thin-walled workpiece (4) is completed; Step S9: disassembling the thin-walled workpiece (4) and inspecting it.
7. The composite material cutting method according to claim 6, characterized in that: In step S5, ultrasonic vibration is generated by an ultrasonic generator (704), so that the tool and the thin-walled workpiece (4) are periodically coupled at high frequencies, thereby achieving ultrasonic-assisted machining.
