Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical machining of aircraft engine casings, and in particular to a side-flow electrochemical machining device with a closed casing cavity. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to an electrochemical machining method comprising the side-flow electrochemical machining device with a closed casing cavity. Background Art
[0002] The casing is a critical component of aircraft engines. It's primarily constructed from difficult-to-cut materials like nickel-based high-temperature alloys, and features numerous lightened cavities with depths ranging from 1mm to 5mm. Currently, five-axis CNC milling is the primary method for machining these cavities, but this suffers from severe tool wear, high costs, and low machining efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of mass production. Electrochemical machining (ECM) utilizes the principle of electrochemical anodic dissolution of metals to shape workpieces. Compared to other machining methods, ECM offers the following advantages: theoretically, no tool cathode wear and can be used endlessly; high machining efficiency; excellent surface quality; and non-contact machining, which introduces no cutting stress, making it ideal for machining casing cavities.
[0003] For this type of casing parts with cavities, the most commonly used process is copy electrochemical machining technology. The parts are fixed and the cathode is continuously fed along the normal direction of the cavity. Under the action of electrochemistry, the casing surface material is continuously dissolved and the cavity is gradually processed and formed. Due to the large size of the casing, setting up a fully enclosed flow field requires a special extremely large sealing device, which is very expensive. Figure 1 Currently, an open positive flow field is mostly used. The electrolyte flows from the internal channel of the cathode into the processing gap between the casing and the cathode, and then flows out in a divergent manner and directly flows into the recovery pipe of the machine tool processing cavity. This open flow field fixture has a simple structure and is easy to operate, but it faces the following problems in actual production: there is a liquid groove on the cathode working surface, and some bosses will remain on the surface of the part after electrolytic processing, requiring additional polishing to remove the bosses; the flow field parameters such as flow velocity and pressure in the open flow field are very unevenly distributed in the processing gap, with great differences in different places. The flow direction of the electrolyte is uncontrollable, and liquid shortage is very likely to occur. The stability is poor, and the conductivity is unevenly distributed, resulting in different processing speeds in different places, poor processing accuracy, obvious flow lines on the casing surface, and the electrolyte diverges everywhere. The inner wall of the machine tool processing cavity is often washed by the electrolyte, which causes great corrosion to the inner wall of the machine tool. Summary of the Invention
