It has many advantages such as high material utilization, small geometric constraints, fast iterative improvement, and high degree of digitization. It is in line with the pursuit of light weight and low cost in aerospace structures and is gradually being used. Represented by laser selective melting and laser melting deposition technology, additive manufacturing technology has been applied to secondary load-bearing structures and a small number of main load-bearing structures of military aircraft. However, due to the obvious anisotropy and greater life dispersion of additive manufacturing structures, the fatigue performance evaluation method of additive manufacturing structures has not yet been fully established for its process and material performance characteristics, which limits its promotion and application in main load-bearing structures. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a fatigue performance evaluation method for aircraft additive manufacturing structures. The present invention improves the accuracy of life prediction.
[0004] The technical solution is as follows: A method for evaluating fatigue performance of aircraft additive manufacturing structures, comprising the following steps:
[0005] Step S1, based on additive manufacturing, typical parts are made, and samples are taken from the typical parts; the samples include two types of samples, namely: low-cycle fatigue samples and high-cycle fatigue samples in the forming direction; the low-cycle fatigue samples are divided into three groups, namely, group 1.1: samples in the forming direction, group 1.2: samples perpendicular to the forming direction, group 1.3: samples at an angle α with the forming direction, 0<α<90°; the high-cycle fatigue samples are divided into four groups, namely, group 2.1: samples with Ra0.32, heat treatment thickness less than 20mm, and no stress relief annealing after polishing, group 2.2: samples with Ra0.32, heat treatment thickness less than 20mm, and stress relief annealing after polishing, group 2.3: samples with Ra as the original surface of additive manufacturing, heat treatment thickness less than 20mm, and no stress relief annealing after sampling, group 2.4: samples with Ra0.32, heat treatment thickness of 200mm, and no stress relief annealing after polishing;
[0006] Step S2, extracting samples from groups 1.1 to 1.3 to conduct a constant amplitude low-cycle fatigue test, obtaining the material strain-life relationship in three directions, and fitting to obtain the corresponding strain fatigue analysis material performance parameters; extracting samples from groups 2.1 to 2.4 to conduct a constant amplitude high-cycle fatigue test, obtaining the stress-life relationship of the four groups of samples, and fitting to obtain the corresponding stress fatigue analysis material performance parameters;
[0007] Step S3, based on the equal amplitude high cycle fatigue tests of groups 2.1 to 2.4, calculate the surface roughness correction factor, the heat treatment dimension correction factor, the residual stress correction factor, and the defect life effect correction factor;
[0008] Step S4, additively manufacturing a simulated part with structural detail features; substituting the surface roughness correction factor, heat treatment size correction factor, residual stress correction factor, and defect influence correction factor obtained in step S3 into the life analysis method to predict the fatigue life of the simulated part;
[0009] Step S5, performing a fatigue test on the simulated part under a random spectrum, and obtaining the crack initiation life by inferring the fracture surface of the fatigue test;
[0010] Step S6. Compare the predicted life obtained in steps S4 and S5 with the crack initiation life, respectively. When 0.5<predicted life / crack initiation life<2, each correction coefficient is reasonable and applicable;
[0011] Step S7, determining the key parts of any additive manufacturing structure;
[0012] Step S8, according to the aircraft design load spectrum, using a multivariate linear regression method or a machine learning method to obtain the stress spectrum of the key parts of the additive manufacturing structure;
[0013] Step S9, according to the placement mode and forming direction in the additive manufacturing structure forming process, and the direction of the maximum principal stress of the key part, calculate the angle β between the forming direction of the key part and the forming direction of the structure; if 0≤β<30°, select the material performance parameters of group 1.1 in step S2; if 60≤β≤90°, select the material performance parameters of group 1.2 in step S2; if 30°≤β<60°, select the material performance parameters of group 1.3 in step S2;
[0014] Step S10, using the stress spectrum of step S8 and the material performance parameters of step S9 as input, using the life analysis method verified by step S4 and the surface roughness correction factor, heat treatment size correction factor, residual stress correction factor, and defect influence correction factor obtained in step S3 to perform life assessment on key parts of the additive manufacturing structure.
[0015] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S1, the typical parts are made as follows: based on the life analysis method and combined with the geometric characteristics of the additive manufacturing structure, typical parts for material performance test sampling are designed.
[0016] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S1, when a typical part is produced, a stress fatigue analysis method or a strain fatigue analysis method is selected as a life analysis method according to the load characteristics, stress level and life requirements of the additive manufacturing structure; when the local linear elastic stress of the structure exceeds the yield strength, the strain fatigue analysis method is used; in addition, the stress fatigue analysis method is used.
[0017] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S1, the number of samples in group 2.1 is no less than 120.
[0018] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S2, the test conditions of the constant amplitude low cycle fatigue test are: room temperature, strain ratio Rε=-1, and no less than 5 strain levels.
[0019] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S2, the test conditions of the constant amplitude high cycle fatigue test are: room temperature, stress ratio R=0.06, and no less than 5 stress levels.
[0020] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, in step S2, in the constant amplitude high cycle fatigue test, each stress level of group 2.1 has no less than 20 pieces of valid data.
[0021] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance evaluation method, step S3 is as follows: based on the stress-life relationship and stress fatigue analysis material performance parameters, the 2.1 to 2.4 groups of samples are calculated and obtained in 10 5 The stress corresponding to the cycle is 1 , σ 2 , σ 3 , σ 4 ; Then: σ 3 / σ 1 is the surface roughness correction factor, σ 4 / σ 1 is the heat treatment size correction factor, σ 2 / σ 1 is the residual stress correction factor; analyze all fatigue test fractures of group 2.1 of samples in step S2, determine their fatigue sources, and observe whether the fatigue sources are manufacturing defects. Divide the stress-life data into two categories: fatigue source without defects and fatigue source with defects, fit their stress-life relationship equations respectively, and calculate the fatigue source without defects and fatigue source with defects respectively. 5 Stress corresponding to the cycle σ 11 , σ 12 , σ 12 / σ 11 It is the correction factor of defect life impact.
[0022] In the aforementioned aircraft additive manufacturing structure fatigue performance assessment method, in step S4, the structural detail features include fillets, holes, and grooves.
[0023] In the aforementioned method for evaluating fatigue performance of aircraft additively manufactured structures, in step S5, when a fatigue test under a random spectrum is performed, an identification load is added at the end of the random spectrum.
[0024] Beneficial effects: 1) The fatigue performance evaluation method of aircraft additive manufacturing structure established by the present invention fully considers the geometric characteristics and process characteristics of the additive manufacturing structure, designs typical parts for material performance test sampling, obtains samples that can reflect the forming process of the additive manufacturing structure and the anisotropic characteristics of additive manufacturing, and more realistically obtains material performance data that is closer to the performance of the additive manufacturing structure;
[0025] 2) The surface roughness correction coefficient of the existing life analysis method is established for subtractive manufacturing structures, and there are only three types: Ra1.6, Ra3.2, and Ra6.3. However, the surface quality of additive manufacturing structures, especially laser selective melting structures, is controlled by grinding. For complex structures, there are often multiple roughnesses on the surface, and the surface roughness of the internal inaccessible parts even exceeds Ra6.3. Therefore, it is unreasonable to continue to use the existing coefficient. The present invention obtains the surface roughness correction coefficient suitable for fatigue life prediction of additive manufacturing structures by comparing the fatigue test of the original surface samples of additive manufacturing with the standard samples, which can improve the accuracy of life prediction;
[0026] 3) The existing heat treatment dimension correction coefficient is proposed for plates and forgings. The reason for the correction is that after the structure is processed by subtractive processing, the geometric dimensions of the structure are very different from those during heat treatment. The key parts may be in the worst performance area, and correction must be made to ensure that the life prediction is conservative to ensure the safety of the structure. However, the difference between the heat treatment dimensions of the additive manufacturing structure and the final geometric dimensions of the structure is small. It is obviously unreasonable to use the traditional subtractive manufacturing heat treatment dimension correction coefficient for additive manufacturing. Therefore, the present invention determines the heat treatment dimension correction coefficient applicable to the additive manufacturing structure through high-cycle fatigue comparison test for the maximum heat treatment thickness that may exist in the additive manufacturing structure, which is conducive to further ensuring the rationality of the life prediction results;
[0027] 4) Due to the complexity of additive manufacturing process, the current additively manufactured aircraft structure is no longer subjected to stress relief annealing after forming and completing surface treatment or conformal processing of some areas. Residual tensile stress may exist on the surface or near the surface, but the current non-destructive residual stress testing technology cannot accurately measure the residual stress of the structure. The present invention determines the influence of residual stress through high-cycle fatigue comparison test, and also improves the accuracy of the life prediction method;
[0028] 5) Even if the additive manufacturing structure is subjected to hot isostatic pressing, there are still widespread internal micro defects in the additive manufacturing structure. The defects have a significant impact on the fatigue life of the structure. It is necessary to introduce a correction factor to consider this impact to ensure that the structure can meet the life requirements even when there are defects. The present invention classifies the test results according to whether there are defects on the fracture surface through high-cycle fatigue tests on a sufficient number of samples, determines the impact of defects on the life of the structure, and further improves the accuracy of life prediction;
[0029] 6) The present invention innovatively designs simulation parts with structural detail features, verifies the life prediction method of additive manufacturing structures through fatigue tests of simulation parts with different surface conditions, and establishes a method for predicting the fatigue life of additive manufacturing structures through material performance data of additive manufacturing samples, providing support for the durability design of such structures.
[0030] The present invention can be further applied to constructing life prediction methods for new materials and new manufacturing processes. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
