Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of nonferrous metal plastic processing, and in particular to an integrated device and method suitable for vacuum / inert gas isothermal reciprocating extrusion and heat treatment processes of small and medium-sized titanium alloys. Background Art
[0002] Titanium alloys are widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobiles, ships and other fields due to their excellent comprehensive mechanical properties such as high specific strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, weldability and non-magnetism. For titanium alloys, the finer the structure, the higher the tensile strength of the alloy as the grain structure is refined. Among them, severe plastic deformation (Severe Plastic Deformation, SPD) as an emerging plastic deformation method can introduce a large strain during the deformation process, thereby effectively refining the metal and obtaining submicron or even nano-sized grains. By controlling the microstructure during the deformation process, bulk nanomaterials with high strength and high plasticity can be obtained at the same time. There are no residual shrinkage cavities in the samples prepared by this method, and it is not easy to introduce impurities during the processing. It also overcomes the problems of voids and poor density in the process of preparing ultrafine grain materials by other methods. Researchers have developed a variety of methods for preparing ultrafine-grained materials using SPD technology. Currently, the more mature methods include equal-diameter angle extrusion, high-pressure torsion, cumulative rolling, stir friction processing, and reciprocating extrusion. Among them, reciprocating extrusion as one of the deformation methods has been applied to titanium alloys.
[0003] Titanium alloys usually require heat treatment to regulate their organization after deformation, thereby improving their mechanical properties. However, when heat treatment is performed directly in an air furnace, due to the high activity of titanium alloys, high-temperature heat treatment directly in the air is easy to oxidize, and the oxide layer will fall off layer by layer, which has an adverse effect on the mechanical properties of titanium alloys. Heat treatment of titanium alloys in a vacuum or under inert gas protection can ensure that they are not affected by external oxygen, but the titanium alloy needs to be sealed or transferred to a vacuum tube furnace or heat treated in an inert gas protection furnace. The process flow is cumbersome and the cost is high.
[0004] In the existing reciprocating extrusion device, small and medium-sized titanium alloy billets (diameter and height are both less than 100 mm) come into contact with air during the transfer from the heating furnace and the thermal deformation process, resulting in heat dissipation. The actual deformation temperature is lower than the set temperature, and the surface in direct contact with the air will also oxidize and easily crack, thus affecting the processing accuracy, forming and surface quality.
[0005] In summary, the existing small and medium-sized titanium alloys come into contact with air during hot processing, resulting in heat dissipation. The temperature drops and true isothermal forming cannot be achieved. There is also surface oxidation, which makes it difficult to ensure processing accuracy and has poor surface quality. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that small and medium-sized titanium alloys (diameter and height are both less than 100 mm) contact with air during thermal deformation, resulting in heat dissipation, temperature drop and inability to achieve true isothermal forming, as well as surface oxidation, which makes it impossible to ensure processing accuracy and surface quality. Further, an integrated device and method suitable for vacuum / inert gas isothermal reciprocating extrusion and heat treatment process of small and medium-sized titanium alloys is provided.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method suitable for vacuum / inert gas isothermal reciprocating extrusion and heat treatment of small and medium-sized titanium alloys, which comprises the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Preparation of raw materials:
[0017] The outer surface of the small and medium-sized titanium alloy billet (referring to the titanium alloy billet with a diameter and a height of less than 100 mm) is polished with 120-mesh sandpaper to remove oil stains, and then polished with 400-mesh, 800-mesh, 1000-mesh, 1200-mesh, and 2000-mesh sandpaper in sequence to make the surface clean and smooth, and the polished small and medium-sized titanium alloy billet is placed in a mixture of acetone and anhydrous ethanol for ultrasonic cleaning, and then cleaned with anhydrous ethanol and dried with a hair dryer;
[0018] Step 2: Equipment preparation:
[0019] Step 21: Apply high temperature graphite lubricant to the inner wall of the extrusion die.
[0020] Step 22: Apply glass lubricant on the surface of the small and medium-sized titanium alloy billet and then put it into the reciprocating extrusion processing device and close the furnace door;
[0021] Step 23: Start the vacuum pump group and evacuate the inside of the heating furnace to 2.5-3×10 -1 ~10 -3 pa vacuum environment;
[0022] Step 3: Open the gas cylinder and fill the furnace body with argon gas to -0.05MPa;
[0023] Step 4: Preheating small and medium-sized titanium alloy billets;
[0024] Turn on the heating component, heat the mold and small and medium-sized titanium alloy billets to the deformation temperature of 600℃~1000℃, and understand the gas pressure and temperature values in the heating furnace in real time through the display screen.
[0025] Then, the heating power of the heating element is controlled to keep the temperature of the left extrusion punch, the right extrusion punch, the extrusion die and the titanium alloy blank constant at 600° C. to 1000° C.;
[0026] Step 5: Extrusion of small and medium-sized titanium alloy billets:
[0027] After keeping the temperature for 20 to 60 minutes, pressurize the left pressure head to move it to the right, and extrude the small and medium-sized titanium alloy billet placed in the left die cavity in advance, and stop applying pressure after it completely enters the right die cavity;
[0028] Then, the left pressing head is withdrawn to the set position, and the right pressing head is driven in the reverse direction, so that the small and medium-sized titanium alloy billet completely enters the left die cavity, and the extrusion is stopped to complete one-pass processing. The above steps are repeated to complete the reciprocating extrusion processing;
[0029] Step 6: After the hot processing of small and medium-sized titanium alloy billets is completed, wait for the furnace body to cool naturally, and then set the heating rate, heat treatment temperature and holding time through the control cabinet for subsequent heat treatment.

[0034] The present invention can ensure that the heating of the blank and the mold, as well as the subsequent thermal deformation and heat treatment processes, are completely closed, and the heat dissipation of small and medium-sized titanium alloy blanks during transfer from the furnace and during the hot processing process causes the temperature to drop, thereby affecting the hot processing accuracy. In addition, the deformation can be performed under vacuum or inert gas, thereby preventing the blank from being oxidized and affecting the performance. After the extrusion is completed, subsequent heat treatment can be directly performed without opening the furnace again, which can ensure the reuse of vacuum or inert gas, reduce costs, and improve production efficiency. The present invention can be used for the preparation of non-ferrous metals such as titanium alloys. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
