Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of electrical processing, and particularly relates to a method for precisely removing recast layer and inhibiting over-corrosion. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is widely used in the machining of various conductive materials in manufacturing industry, and has high precision and high efficiency. During EDM, the electric arc melts the metal at high temperature, and the molten metal droplets re-solidify on the surface of the electrode. The solidified metal layer is called recast layer. The recast layer has different organization and properties from the original metal, and is more brittle than the original metal, and may have pores, cracks and other defects. In addition, the presence of the recast layer will reduce the fatigue strength and service life of the material. Therefore, removing the recast layer is an important measure to improve the machining quality of the workpiece surface.
[0003] Electrochemical machining (ECM) technology usually uses a conductive wire or a conductive rod as a cutting cathode tool, and the workpiece to be machined as an anode. The two are immersed in an electrolyte to undergo an electrochemical anodic dissolution reaction to remove the recast layer. However, the current ECM technology lacks precise control of the electric quantity during the removal process, and mainly relies on experience or experiments to determine the cathode feed rate and power voltage, which leads to incomplete dissolution of the passivation film, incomplete removal of the recast layer, or over-corrosion of the substrate due to electric quantity overflow, thereby affecting the removal quality. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for precisely removing the recast layer and inhibiting over-corrosion to improve the machining precision and surface quality of electrochemical finishing.

[0090] (2) through COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software simulation, the different cathode feed rate and power supply voltage, the surface of the workpiece to be processed containing heavy layer of P1 point of the unit area of the electric quantity, so that the surface of the workpiece to be processed containing heavy layer of P1 point of the unit area of the electric quantity close to Q0+Q1(125C / cm 2 ), simulation when the cathode is a diameter of 0.5mm wire electrode, electrolyte is a concentration of 1mol / L sodium chloride glycol solution, the conductivity is 0.33S / m constant, the initial machining gap is 50μm, the feed depth is 20μm, the simulation boundary parameters are: the voltage of the cathode surface(Γ1) Cathode feed rate(V f ) = 25, 50, 100 or 125μm / s; the voltage of the anode surface(Γ2) 30, 40 or 50V; electrolyte(Γ3, Γ4, Γ5, Γ6): When the cathode feed rate is 50μm / s, the power supply voltage is 30V, the surface of the workpiece to be processed containing heavy layer of P1 point of the unit area of the electric quantity(Q) is 125C / cm 2 ;
[0091] (3) with a diameter of 0.5mm tungsten wire as the cathode, the workpiece to be processed containing heavy layer(FGH96 workpiece after EDM, the heavy layer thickness is 10μm) as the anode, in the electrolyte(concentration of 1mol / L sodium chloride glycol solution) anodic dissolution, the initial machining gap is 50μm, the feed depth is 20μm, the cathode feed rate is 50μm / s, the power supply voltage is 30V, the unit area of the workpiece surface containing heavy layer of electric quantity(Q) is 125C / cm 2 , get the workpiece without heavy layer.
[0092] The SEM images of the initial surface of the workpiece to be processed containing heavy layer in step(1) of example 1(0s), the SEM images of the workpiece surface after processing at different times(28s, 35s, 45s, 57s, 63s and 82s) are shown in Figure 3 From Figure 3 , when the electric quantity reaches 125C / cm 2 , the heavy layer is completely removed, and at this time the matrix is not over corroded.
[0093] The power supply voltage is 30V, the current density of the workpiece surface P1 point at different cathode feed rates changes with time through simulation in step(2) of example 1, as shown in Figure 4 ; the cathode feed rate is 50μm / s(3mm / min), the current density of the workpiece surface P1 point at different power supply voltages changes with time through simulation, as shown in Figure 5 .Figure 4 and Figure 5 The area of the shadow part in 2 From Figure 4 , it can be seen that the surface charge of the workpiece gradually increases as the feed speed decreases or the voltage increases. When the feed speed of the wire electrode exceeds 50 μm / s while the power supply voltage remains unchanged, the surface current density of the workpiece quickly reaches a peak value, and the surface charge quickly exceeds 125 C / cm 2 , causing the passivation film and the recast layer to be broken down at the same time, but the over-corrosion phenomenon caused by the overflow of the surface charge is likely to occur. In contrast, if the feed speed is lower than 50 μm / s, it takes a long time to reach 125 C / cm 2 of the surface charge, and the breakdown process of the passivation film and the recast layer is relatively slow; from Figure 5 , it can be seen that, at a fixed feed speed, when the power supply voltage exceeds 30 V, the peak value of the current density increases, and the surface charge of the workpiece quickly exceeds 125 C / cm 2 , causing the passivation film and the recast layer to be dissolved quickly, but the over-corrosion phenomenon caused by the overflow of the surface charge is likely to occur; when the voltage is lower than 30 V, the peak value of the current density is low, and the surface charge is slow to reach or insufficient to reach 125 C / cm 2 , causing the dissolution speed to slow down. Based on the above analysis, the combination of the wire electrode feed speed of 50 μm / s and the power supply voltage of 30 V is selected, so that the surface charge of the workpiece is close to 125 C / cm 2 , the passivation film is quickly broken down, the recast layer is accurately removed, and the over-corrosion phenomenon caused by the overflow of the surface charge is minimized.
[0094] The relationship between the surface charge of the workpiece at point P1 and the cathode feed speed and the power supply voltage is shown in Figure 6 . From Figure 6 , it can be seen that the surface charge of the workpiece gradually increases as the feed speed decreases or the voltage increases. To achieve a target surface charge close to 125 C / cm 2 , the parameter combination of the cathode feed speed of 50 μm / s and the power supply voltage of 30 V is selected, so that the recast layer is accurately removed while the over-corrosion phenomenon is effectively inhibited.
[0095] Comparative Example 1
[0096] The power supply voltage in step (3) of Example 1 is replaced by 20 V, at which time the surface charge of the workpiece is 45 C / cm 2 , and the other parameters are the same as those of Example 1.
[0097] Comparative Example 2
[0098] The power supply voltage in step (3) of Example 1 is replaced by 40 V, at which time the surface charge of the workpiece is 225 C / cm 2 , and the other parameters are the same as those of Example 1.
[0099] The surface metallograph of the workpiece to be processed containing recast layer in step (3) of Example 1 is shown in Figure 7 , the SEM image is shown in Figure 8 , and the roughness of the workpiece surface is shown in Figure 9 .
[0100] The surface metallograph of the workpiece after being processed by the method of Example 1 is shown in Figure 10 , the SEM image is shown in Figure 11 , and the roughness of the workpiece surface is shown in Figure 12 .
[0101] The surface metallograph of the workpiece after being processed by the method of Comparative Example 1 is shown in Figure 13 , the SEM image is shown in Figure 14 , and the roughness of the workpiece surface is shown in Figure 15 .
[0102] The surface metallograph of the workpiece after being processed by the method of Comparative Example 2 is shown in Figure 16 , the SEM image is shown in Figure 17 , and the roughness of the workpiece surface is shown in Figure 18 .
[0103] It can be seen from Figures 7-18 that when the removed electric quantity is less than 125 C / cm 2 , there is still residual recast layer attached to the processed surface, and the surface roughness is 0.524 μm; when the electric quantity is far more than 125 C / cm 2 , the base material is excessively corroded, the surface quality is reduced, and the surface roughness is 0.334 μm; and when the electric quantity is close to 125 C / cm 2 , the surface roughness Ra value is the smallest, which is 0.325 μm.
[0104] Example 2
[0105] (1) 304 stainless steel is used as the cathode, the workpiece to be processed containing recast layer (FGH96 workpiece after electric spark machining, the thickness of the recast layer is 20 μm) is used as the anode, anodic dissolution is carried out in an electrolyte (20% sodium nitrate aqueous solution in mass concentration), and the current density is 15 A·cm -2The microscopic morphology of the workpiece surface after anodic dissolution for different times was observed by scanning electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the workpiece surface after treatment at different times (34s, 40s, 45s, 60s, 80s and 100s) were obtained. The SEM images of the workpiece surface after treatment at different times were used to determine the breakdown time of the passivation film on the surface of the workpiece containing the recast layer and the time when the recast layer on the surface of the workpiece containing the recast layer was completely removed without excessive corrosion of the substrate. According to the current density and time, the power Q0 required to break through the passivation film per unit area of the workpiece containing the recast layer and the power Q1 required to remove the recast layer per unit area of the workpiece containing the recast layer without excessive corrosion of the substrate were calculated. Then, Q0+Q1 was calculated to be 500C / cm 2 ;
[0106] (2) The COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software was used to simulate the charge per unit area of the workpiece surface P1 containing the recast layer at different cathode feed speeds and power supply voltages, so that the charge per unit area of the workpiece surface P1 containing the recast layer is close to Q0+Q1(500C / cm 2 ), the cathode is a wire electrode with a diameter of 0.5 mm, the electrolyte is a sodium nitrate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 20%, the conductivity is a constant of 14.2 S / m, the initial machining gap is 50 μm, the feed depth is 20 μm, and the simulation boundary parameters are: the voltage on the cathode surface (Γ1) Cathode feed speed (V f )=60、90、120 or 150μm / s;the voltage of the anode surface (Γ2) 15, 20 or 25V; electrolyte (Γ3, Γ4, Γ5, Γ6): When the cathode feed speed is 120 μm / s and the power supply voltage is 15 V, the charge per unit area (Q) at point P1 on the workpiece surface containing the recast layer is 580 C / cm 2 , close to 500C / cm 2 ;
[0107] (3) A tungsten wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm was used as the cathode and the workpiece to be machined (FGH96 workpiece after electrospark machining, with a recast layer thickness of 20 μm) with a recast layer thickness of 20 μm was used as the anode. Anodic dissolution was performed in an electrolyte (a sodium nitrate aqueous solution with a mass concentration of 20%). The initial machining gap was 50 μm, the feed depth was 20 μm, the cathode feed speed was 120 μm / s, the power supply voltage was 15 V, and the unit area charge (Q) of the workpiece surface with the recast layer to be machined was 580 C / cm 2 , and the workpiece with the recast layer removed is obtained.
[0108] The SEM images of the initial surface of the workpiece to be processed containing recast layer in step (1) of Example 2 (0s), and the SEM images of the surface of the workpiece after processing at different times (34s, 40s, 45s, 60s, 80s and 100s) are shown in Figure 19 , Figure 19 I-VII in Figure 19 represent the SEM images of the surface of the workpiece after 0s, 34s, 40s, 45s, 60s, 80s and 100s, respectively. From , it can be seen that when the electric quantity reaches 500C / cm 2 , the recast layer is completely removed, and at this time the substrate is not excessively corroded.
[0109] Figure 20 The current density-time curve of the workpiece surface P1 point at different cathode feeding speeds when the power supply voltage is 15V obtained by simulation is shown in Figure 21 ; and the current density-time curve of the workpiece surface P1 point at different power supply voltages when the cathode feeding speed is 120μm / s obtained by simulation is shown in Figure 20 . Figure 21 The area of the shaded part in 2 is 500C / cm 2 . From Figure 20 , it can be seen that as the feeding speed decreases or the voltage increases, the electric quantity of the workpiece surface gradually increases. When the power supply voltage remains unchanged and the wire electrode feeding speed exceeds 120μm / s, the current density of the workpiece surface quickly reaches the peak value, and the electric quantity quickly exceeds 500C / cm 2 , resulting in the simultaneous breakdown of the passivation film and the recast layer, but it is easy to cause over-corrosion due to electric quantity overflow. Conversely, if the feeding speed is lower than 120μm / s, it takes a long time to reach 500C / cm 2 , and the breakdown process of the passivation film and the recast layer is relatively slow; from Figure 21 , it can be seen that at a fixed feeding speed, when the power supply voltage exceeds 15V, the peak value of the current density increases, and the electric quantity of the workpiece surface quickly exceeds 500C / cm 2 , so that the passivation film and the recast layer are quickly dissolved, but it may also lead to over-corrosion of the surface due to electric quantity overflow; when the voltage is lower than 15V, the peak value of the current density is lower, and the surface electric quantity slowly reaches or is insufficient to reach 500C / cm 2 , resulting in a slow dissolution rate. Based on the above analysis, the combination of the wire electrode feeding speed of 120μm / s and the power supply voltage of 15V is selected, so that the electric quantity of the workpiece surface is close to 500C / cm 2 , the passivation film is quickly broken down, the recast layer is accurately removed, and the over-corrosion phenomenon caused by electric quantity overflow is minimized.
[0110] The relationship diagram of the electric quantity of the workpiece surface P1 point and the cathode feeding speed and the power supply voltage is shown inFigure 22 As shown. Figure 22 It can be seen that as the feed speed decreases or the voltage increases, the charge on the workpiece surface gradually increases. 2 The target power was set at 120 μm / s cathode feed speed and 15 V power supply voltage, which could effectively suppress over-corrosion while accurately removing the recast layer.
[0111] Comparative Example 3
[0112] The cathode feed speed in step (3) of Example 2 was replaced with 10 μm / s, and the surface charge of the workpiece was 340 C / cm 2 , other parameters are the same as those in Example 1.
[0113] Comparative Example 4
[0114] The power supply voltage in step (3) of Example 2 is replaced with 20V. At this time, the surface charge of the workpiece is 1100C / cm 2 , other parameters are the same as those in Example 2.
[0115] The surface metallographic image of the workpiece to be processed containing the recast layer in step (3) of Example 2 is as follows: Figure 23 As shown in the SEM images Figure 24 As shown in the figure, the roughness of the workpiece surface is Figure 25 shown.
[0116] The surface metallographic image of the workpiece after being treated by the method of Example 2 is as follows: Figure 26 As shown in the SEM images Figure 27 As shown in the figure, the roughness of the workpiece surface is Figure 28 shown.
[0117] The surface metallographic image of the workpiece after being treated by the method of comparative example 3 is as follows: Figure 29 As shown in the SEM images Figure 30 As shown in the figure, the roughness of the workpiece surface is Figure 31 shown.
[0118] The surface metallographic image of the workpiece after being treated by the method of comparative example 4 is as follows: Figure 32 As shown in the SEM images Figure 33 As shown in the figure, the roughness of the workpiece surface is Figure 34 shown.
[0119] from Figures 23-34 It can be seen that when the removal charge is less than 500C / cm 2 When the recast layer is still attached to the machined surface, the surface roughness is 2.342μm; the charge is far more than 500C / cm 2When the electric quantity is 500C / cm, the base material is excessively corroded, the surface quality is reduced, and the surface roughness is 1.575 mu m 2 When the electric quantity is 500C / cm, the base material is excessively corroded, the surface quality is reduced, and the surface roughness is 1.575 mu m
[0120] In conclusion, by accurately controlling the electric quantity, the cathode feeding speed and the power supply voltage, the workpiece surface electric quantity is close to Q0+Q1, through the electric quantity control, not only the breakdown speed of the passivation film is accelerated, the accurate removal of the recast layer is realized, but also the over-corrosion phenomenon caused by the electric quantity overflow is maximally inhibited, and the quality of the processed surface is significantly improved.
