Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of welding, and in particular to a vacuum electron beam welding method for an ultra-high strength steel shell. Background Art

[0002] With the development of solid rocket engine missile technology, missiles are required to have high mass ratio, high maneuverability, high aerodynamic heating and high overload, thus putting forward higher requirements on the performance of missile engines. The shell is an important component of the combustion chamber of a solid rocket engine. It is both a place for propellant storage and a place for propellant chemical reaction. It must withstand high temperature and high pressure loads. At the same time, the shell must also provide support for other parts of the missile (such as cable covers, wings, etc.). When the engine is working, the shell, as a thin-walled part, not only withstands high temperature and high pressure at high burning rates, but also needs to withstand external loads from the entire missile, such as axial pressure, bending moment, shear force, etc. Therefore, the lightweight, thin-walled shell bears the combined effect of internal pressure and external loads. The structural and welding process characteristics of the shell are as follows:

[0003] a) The shell is a thin-walled structure with a large aspect ratio, usually formed by welding the front (rear) joint, front skirt, front (rear) joint and cylinder in sequence, and can withstand high pressure and high temperature environments;

[0004] b) When welding the D406A ultra-high strength steel shell, high precision is required, the welding heat affected zone is small, and strict requirements are placed on the weld defect rate, weld purity, and welding deformation control;

[0005] c) The welding production of D406A ultra-high strength steel shell requires high reliability and high efficiency processing.

[0006] Vacuum electron beam is generally unable to achieve wire filling welding during the welding process, and there is a certain depression problem on the front of the weld; the shell is a thin-walled part, and it is easy to cause deformation and misalignment of the parts during assembly, which cannot meet the requirements of parts assembly and welding; the back of the weld is misaligned, single-sided welding and double-sided forming, which easily leads to defects such as undercut and incomplete penetration, resulting in a low welding qualification rate.

[0071] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but it should not be understood that the scope of the subject matter described in the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. Without departing from the above-mentioned technical ideas of the present invention, various modifications, substitutions and changes made according to the common technical knowledge and customary means in the field are included in the scope of the present invention.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, a small solid rocket engine combustion chamber shell is made of D406A ultra-high strength steel (forging heat treatment state: normalizing + high temperature tempering), with a diameter of φ100mm~φ300mm, a wall thickness of 0.5mm~3mm, and a length of no more than 2500mm. The shell is welded by a front joint 1, a barrel 3, and a rear joint 4. The front joint 1, the front skirt 2, and the rear joint 4 are machined by forgings, and the barrel 3 is spun by forgings.

[0073] The present invention designs a vacuum electron beam welding method for an ultra-high-strength steel shell, comprising the following steps: parts processing → demagnetization → laser cleaning → assembly of various parts → preheating welding of shell welds → formal welding of shell welds → stress relief welding (decorative welding) of shell welds → X-ray detection → welding of external parts → annealing → detection → overall heat treatment (quenching + tempering) → X-ray detection → CNC lathe → machining center → inspection.

[0074] After vacuum electron beam welding of the ultra-high strength steel shell, the welded joint meets the requirements of GJB1718A-2005 Level I, the weld is single-sided welded and double-sided formed, the weld is fully welded without depression, the back excess height is not more than 0.4mm, the front excess height is not more than 1.0mm, there are no defects such as undercut, lack of fusion, cracks, etc., the welding test plate passes the mechanical properties test, and the shell passes the water pressure bursting test.

[0075] The vacuum electron beam welding method of the present invention comprises the following main points:

[0076] 1. Requirements for welding groove processing of front joint 1 and rear joint 4: a process boss stop is designed (the designed process boss stop has 3 advantages:

[0077] 1) Ensure that the front weld is convex (not concave) during welding;

[0078] 2) When assembling and docking, the cylinder 3 is hooped to ensure that the error is not greater than 0.1mm and the roundness is not greater than 1.0;

[0079] 3) Mark the surface of the process boss to facilitate alignment of the weld. Figure 2 , the size of the process boss stop: thickness is about 0.4mm~0.5mm, width is 1.2mm~1.8mm.

[0080] 2. The cylinder 3 is formed by spin forming, and the two end faces of the cylinder 3 are flattened on a lathe to the designed length; the outer diameters of both ends of the cylinder 3 are measured (for matching the inner hole sizes of the front joint 1 and the rear joint 4); the front joint 1 and the rear joint 4 are connected to the cylinder 3, and the inner holes are matched according to the measured actual sizes to ensure a single-sided gap of 0.015mm to 0.03mm (that is, the inner hole size of the front joint 1, the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3 is 0.03mm to 0.06mm larger than the outer circle of the cylinder 3), and can be freely assembled (small gap assembly, because the cylinder 3 is a thin-walled part that is easily deformed, and before assembly, the cylinder 3 assembly position needs to be rounded with a tooling, and then assembled with a small gap with the front joint 1 and the rear joint 4).

[0081] 3. Demagnetize each component to ensure that the magnetic flux is no more than 2 Gauss.

[0082] 4. Laser clean the welds and the inner and outer surfaces of each part to remove oil, rust, etc. until the original color of the metal is revealed. The wall thickness reduction is controlled to be no more than 0.02mm, and the wall thickness after cleaning meets the design requirements.

[0083] 5. Press Figure 1 Assemble the parts and the fixture: assemble the front joint 1 → assemble the open retaining ring 5 → assemble the cylinder 3 → assemble the rear joint 4 → assemble the positioning plate 6 → assemble the clamping spring 7 → assemble the clamping nut 8 → assemble the front skirt 2 → assemble the positioning assembly 9 → assemble another clamping nut 8.

[0084] The clamp is mainly composed of an open retaining ring 5, a positioning plate 6, a clamping spring 7, two clamping nuts 8, a positioning assembly 9 and a mandrel 10. The positioning assembly 9 is a disc with a groove on the end surface, and the groove can accommodate the open retaining ring 5. The surface of the positioning plate 6 has a circle of steps to facilitate positioning with the rear joint 4. Four pins are evenly distributed around the circumference of the clamping nut 8 to facilitate the rotation of the clamping nut 8.

[0085] The advantages of this fixture are: the front joint 1 of the shell and the cylinder 3 will shrink when welding, resulting in a gap between the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3, because the positioning plate 6 and the Figure 1 A compression spring 7 is installed between the left compression nut 8 (the contact section between the mandrel 10 and the positioning plate 6 is processed as Figure 3The middle structure is to process the positioning cylindrical surface of the mandrel 10 into a hexagonal prism or an octagonal prism, which can reduce the contact area and friction, making it easier for the compression spring 7 to push the positioning plate 6. This is because the inner hole of the positioning plate 6 is a round hole, and the assembly contact part of the mandrel 10 and the positioning plate 6 is a cylindrical surface. The contact surface is large, the friction is large during movement, and it is not easy to slide; after the front joint 1 and the cylinder 3 are welded, the weld shrinkage causes a gap to exist at the joint between the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3, and welding is impossible. The positioning plate 6 will be given a certain pressure, which will automatically eliminate the gap between the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3. The three welds (the weld between the front joint 1 and the cylinder 3, the weld between the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3, and the weld between the front skirt 2 and the front joint 1, all of which are electron beam welded, and the front joint 1 and the front skirt 2 are unimportant welds, and can be welded at the end) can be evacuated at one time and welded in sequence, which can save welding time and improve production efficiency. Furthermore, a little vacuum silicone oil may be applied to the contact surface between the mandrel 10 and the positioning plate 6 to further reduce friction and facilitate movement.

[0086] 6. Preheating welding of the weld between the shell front joint 1 and the cylinder 3: Use surface focus welding, the welding depth is generally half of the welding thickness, welding one circle, welding speed 800mm / min ~ 1200mm / min. After the welding pause for about 3 minutes, the formal welding is immediately carried out.

[0087] 7. Formal welding of the weld between the front joint 1 of the shell and the cylinder 3: Use surface focusing welding (the focusing current is 10mA to 20mA larger than the surface focusing current, which satisfies the welding process to completely fuse the process boss stop and weld through). After the welding is paused for about 10 minutes, stress relief welding is immediately performed.

[0088] 8. Stress relief welding (modification welding) of the weld between the front joint 1 of the shell and the cylinder 3: Use surface focusing welding (focusing current is 15mA~30mA larger than the surface focusing current). After welding, pause for no less than 30 minutes, open the vacuum chamber, disassemble the tooling and remove the product.

[0089] 9. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 above to complete the weld between the shell rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3.

[0090] 10. X-ray inspection: The welds between the front joint 1 and the cylinder 3, and the rear joint 4 and the cylinder 3 must meet the requirements of GJB1718A-2005 Level Ⅰ.

[0091] 11. External parts welding: Assemble and weld the external parts except the front joint 1, front skirt 2, rear joint 4 and cylinder 3.

[0092] 12. Annealing: The shell including the external parts is subjected to stress relief annealing at a temperature of 650°C to 700°C for 1h to 2h, followed by air cooling.

[0093] 13. Inspection: The welds of external parts are inspected by magnetic particle inspection or X-ray inspection;

[0094] 14. Overall heat treatment of the shell (quenching + tempering): First, heat the shell to 920℃~940℃, keep it warm for 35min~45min, then quench it in oil, then temper it at 290℃~320℃, keep it warm for 3h~3.5h, and then air cool it.

[0095] 15. X-ray inspection: The girth welds of the front joint 1, rear joint 4 and cylinder 3 must meet the requirements of GJB1718A-2005 Level I;

[0096] 16. CNC lathe: process the front joint 1, the rear joint 4, the inner hole and the outer parts, specifically including CNC lathe processing the inner hole thread and the inner hole sealing surface of the front joint 1, and the positioning inner hole and the sealing surface of the rear joint 4;

[0097] 17. Machining center, process a circle of threaded holes on the end faces of the external parts and rear joint 4;

[0098] 18. Inspection: Check the machined dimensions of the shell.

[0099] The above are the main concepts of the invention, and any electron beam welding method designed according to the concept of the invention falls within the protection scope of the invention.
