Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy structural parts manufacturing, and in particular relates to a production method of a main reducer bottom cover die forging for a helicopter engine. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's aerospace industry, the performance requirements for ultra-high-strength aluminum alloy structural parts are getting higher and higher. The engine casing forgings are stress-bearing structural parts. The stability of the structural parts' performance plays an important role in the entire engine and even the entire aircraft. The engine die forgings are mainly made of ultra-high-strength aluminum alloys. At present, the main reducer bottom cover die forgings have problems with poor bearing capacity and toughness. The main reason is that the die forgings have the problem of low-multiple streamline irregularities and the strength and fracture toughness of the engine main reducer bottom cover need to be improved. In this way, the overall performance of the main reducer bottom cover can be improved, so as to reduce the probability of cracking of engine structural parts during flight. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of poor load-bearing capacity and toughness of existing helicopter engine main reducer bottom cover die forgings, and to provide a production method of helicopter engine main reducer bottom cover die forgings.
[0004] A method for producing a die forging of a main reducer bottom cover for a helicopter engine, which is carried out according to the following steps:
[0005] 1. Forging and blank making:
[0006] A cylindrical aluminum alloy ingot with a size of Φ162×390 mm is heated to 460-480° C., the start forging temperature is 450° C., and the blank is forged on a 5000-ton vertical free forging hydraulic press. The flat anvil temperature during forging is 350° C.-400° C., and the blank is forged into an elliptical forging cake with a height of H=30 mm by a one-time multi-directional forging process to obtain a forging cake blank;
[0007] 2. Pre-pressing, etching, repairing and die forging:
[0008] The forging cake blank is heated to 450°C-480°C, the first piece forging temperature is 430°C-450°C, the first piece final forging temperature is 410°C-430°C, the final piece forging temperature is 420°C-440°C, the final piece final forging temperature is 400°C-430°C, the die temperature is 360°C-400°C, and a pre-pressed forging is obtained, and then etching and cleaning are performed to repair the damage, and then the first die forging is performed to obtain a die forging;
[0009] 3. Machining, turning and corrosion repair:
[0010] The die forging is placed on a machining milling machine, and the annular ribs on the die forging are all machined off, and then the forging is etched and repaired, and then the defects on the die forging are checked and removed to obtain a die forging A;
[0011] 4. Four-step die forging:
[0012] The die forging A is placed in a heating furnace for forgings to heat up. When it comes out of the furnace, the start forging temperature and the final forging temperature of the first and last pieces of each horizontal material tray are 400°C to 450°C. It is die-formed on a 5000-ton vertical free forging hydraulic press. The forging is die-formed four times in total, and lubrication and pressing are performed twice during the final pressing. Then, the car is lifted and deflated before pressing again to ensure the forming. The burrs are then cut off on a sawing machine to obtain the die forging B.
[0013] 5. Etching, repairing and heat treatment:
[0014] The die forging B is etched and repaired, and then pre-fire inspection is carried out. The qualified die forgings are erected in a quenching basket, kept warm for 60 minutes at a quenching temperature of 493°C to 499°C, the temperature of the water used for quenching is 50°C to 70°C, the quenching transfer time is ≤15s, and the quenching basket is reciprocated and lifted in the water for 15 to 25 times, and then hoisted out of the water after staying in the water for 15 minutes, and loaded into an aging furnace after quenching furnace number, with a placement interval of ≥50mm, and then kept warm for 12 hours at an aging temperature of 168°C to 175°C, to obtain a helicopter engine main reducer bottom cover die forging, and the manufacturing is completed.
[0015] Furthermore, the mass percentages of elements in the aluminum alloy ingot in step one are Si 0.5% to 1.2%, Fe ≤0.7%, Cu 3.9% to 5.0%, Mn 0.40% to 1.2%, Mg 0.20% to 0.8%, Cr ≤0.10%, Zn ≤0.25%, Ti ≤0.15%, individual impurities ≤0.05%, total impurities ≤0.15%, and the rest is Al.
[0016] Furthermore, in the first die forging in step 2, the pre-pressed forging after etching and repair is heated to 450°C-480°C, the first piece start forging temperature is 420°C-450°C, the first piece final forging temperature is 400°C-430°C, the last piece start forging temperature is 410°C-430°C, the last piece final forging temperature is 400°C-420°C, and the die temperature is 360°C-400°C.
[0017] Furthermore, in the four die forging processes described in step 4, before die forging, the dirt in the die cavity of the die should be cleared with compressed air, and lubricant should be applied after the upper and lower dies are installed.
[0018] Furthermore, the lubricant is composed of a mixture of sand ingot oil and graphite in a volume ratio of 1:10.
[0019] Furthermore, in step 4, the burr removal is as follows: 0<the residual amount of the burr after removal≤2mm.
[0020] Furthermore, the etching, cleaning and repairing processes described in steps two, three and five are all the same, specifically as follows: the machined die forgings are erected in a stainless steel basket, and are etched and degreased for 5 to 20 minutes in an alkaline bath having a temperature of 50°C to 70°C and a mass fraction of 10% to 20% NaOH, and then the alkaline solution is washed off in a cold water tank at room temperature, and then neutralized and washed for 3 to 8 minutes in an acid tank having a mass fraction of 20% to 40% HNO3 at room temperature, and then the acid solution is washed off in a cold water tank at room temperature, and finally rinsed in a hot water tank at a water temperature of 50 to 80°C.
[0021] Furthermore, the pre-fire inspection in step 5 is as follows: the die forging B after etching and repair is taken out and placed on a repair site with an aluminum pad on the ground for pre-fire inspection.
[0022] In the present invention, after the die forging is pre-pressed, etched and repaired, it is subjected to the first die forging, and then the annular ribs filled and formed on the die forging are all machined off on a machining milling machine, and then etched and repaired, and then four final die forgings are performed on a hydraulic press. After the annular ribs of the die forging formed by the first die forging are machined off, during the second die forging, part of the metal fills the cavity, and part flows to the web. Since the metal fills the cavity again, there is no resistance in the cavity part, but resistance is encountered when filling the web. The metal easily fills the annular rib cavity and can no longer take a shortcut to flow to the web. The streamline of the metal is completely along the direction of the cavity, achieving the best effect. When the die forging produced by the technical solution is subjected to macroscopic structural comparison and analysis, it is obtained that the macroscopic structure of the die forging does not have streamline irregularity defects, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the bearing capacity and service life of the parts. The alloy has the characteristics of compact structure, high specific strength and hardness, and high toughness, and is widely used in the aerospace field. The stable performance of the die forgings will enable my country to gradually master similar technologies and reduce the probability of cracking of engine structural parts during flight. This technology has broad promotion and application value in the aviation industry.
[0023] Advantages of the present invention:
[0024] The present invention improves the bearing capacity and toughness of the die forging, increases the service life of the parts, and meets the development needs of my country's aerospace industry. It can be used in the actual production of similar annular rib die forgings to solve the problem of low-multiple streamline irregularity of the die forging. It not only meets the standard requirements, but also improves the overall performance of the main reducer bottom cover, improves the strength and fracture toughness of the military main reducer bottom cover, increases the service life of the main reducer bottom cover parts, and meets the requirements of high-performance 2014 aluminum alloy main reducer bottom cover die forgings for aviation.
