TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of composite machining in special processing, and in particular to a method and device for region-selective electrochemical synergistic machining based on ice layer constraint and laser induction. BACKGROUND
[0002] In modern manufacturing, from aerospace to biomedical, from 3C electronics to automobile industry, whether it is precision instruments or conventional equipment, mechanical manufacturing is an indispensable link. With the development of materials science, traditional mechanical processing methods have been difficult to meet the processing requirements of mechanisms in many aspects, especially in some complex and precise mechanical systems such as aircraft engines, in order to ensure the integrity and functionality of the structure in harsh working environment, high requirements and high standards are required for materials and processing precision. The traditional processing method will bring about manufacturing defects such as cutting heat and tool extrusion leading to cracks under the surface. With the development of special processing, this problem is being gradually solved. Electrochemical machining is a relatively mature special processing method.
[0003] Electrochemical machining is a processing mode that realizes material removal by electrochemical reaction between the cathode tool and the anode workpiece in an electrolyte environment. As a kind of special processing technology, it can realize high-efficiency processing without tool wear. However, due to the influence of stray current, the affected area of the processing is difficult to control, and the non-processing area is seriously affected by stray corrosion, reducing the localization of the processing. In view of the problem of stray corrosion in electrochemical machining, many experts and scholars have put forward different solutions. Chinese patent "Preparation method of coating for preventing stray corrosion during electrolytic machining of metal parts", application number 202210653573.9 discloses a method of preparing a pure aluminum coating on the surface of the metal part to be machined, and then converting the coating into a dense and insulating aluminum oxide coating through anodic oxidation technology, thereby ensuring that the non-processing surface is not affected by stray corrosion. However, the method of adding a coating has certain difficulty in operation when facing the machining of complex surface parts. Some scholars have also proposed a special processing mode of low-temperature electrochemical machining. Chinese patent "Low-temperature electrolytic precision machining method", application number 201910608284.5 discloses that by using a refrigeration device to reduce the temperature of the electrolyte, the movement ability of ions in the electrolyte is reduced, the nonlinearity and localization of the electrolyte are improved, and the stray corrosion effect is weakened. At the same time, pure water is used to freeze ice on the workpiece, covering the non-processing area of the workpiece. Since pure water is not conductive, it can isolate the non-processing area from the electrolyte, thereby avoiding the generation of stray corrosion in the non-processing area and protecting the non-processing area. In this invention, the reduction of electrolyte temperature will also reduce the electrochemical reaction rate, reducing the processing efficiency. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the localization and efficiency of low-temperature electrolytic machining.
[0004] The existing problems are that the traditional electrochemical processing has stray corrosion, which greatly affects the surface precision; and has a high requirement for the electric conductivity of the material. The addition of the low-temperature environment slows down the electrochemical reaction rate, reduces the processing efficiency, and causes ice crystal cracks to damage the surface and reduce the processing quality.
