Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rigid thread tapping, and more specifically to a method for processing threads of titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy and duplex stainless steel using ultrasonic drilling rigid tapping. Background Art
[0002] At present, in modern manufacturing, titanium alloys, nickel-based high-temperature alloys, duplex stainless steel and other materials have been widely used in aerospace, energy, chemical and other fields due to their excellent properties, such as high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. However, these materials are extremely difficult to process, especially in thread processing, which faces many challenges, such as:
[0003] 1. Traditionally, manual tapping and thread milling are mainly used for the processing of M3 to M30 titanium alloy, nickel-based high-temperature alloy and duplex stainless steel threaded holes. Manual tapping is extremely labor-intensive, operators need to consume a lot of physical strength and the processing efficiency is extremely low. During the processing, it is difficult to ensure the verticality and stability of the tap, resulting in the inability to ensure the verticality of the thread, which is prone to large errors during assembly. In addition, the surface quality and finish of the manually processed threads are poor, the precision is insufficient, and the scrap rate is high. When producing threads in large quantities, it is impossible to meet production needs and becomes a serious bottleneck in the production process;
[0004] 2. Although thread milling has improved efficiency, labor intensity and quality compared to manual tapping, it still has significant defects: due to the special material properties of titanium alloy and high-temperature alloy, such as the small deformation coefficient of titanium alloy, material springback and high-temperature alloy work hardening, the quality of threads processed by thread milling is poor, the surface is relatively rough, and it is difficult to meet high-precision processing requirements. At the same time, the manufacturing process of thread milling cutters is complicated, the price is expensive, the service life is short, and the tool needs to be replaced frequently, which not only increases the tool cost, but also increases the equipment downtime due to tool changing operations, further reducing production efficiency. In actual processing, under normal circumstances, each threaded hole needs to be milled at least three times with a thread milling cutter, each time taking three minutes, and a total of at least 9 minutes to process a threaded hole, and the quality cannot be stably guaranteed. Sometimes it even needs to be milled five times, which takes up to fifteen minutes, greatly affecting the production schedule and cost control.
[0005] In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a method for ultrasonic drilling and rigid tapping of titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy and duplex stainless steel threads. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for ultrasonic drilling and rigid tapping of titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy and duplex stainless steel threads to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

The pressure of the high-pressure water outlet device can be automatically adjusted according to the amount of chips generated and the discharge situation;
[0013] S4, intelligent optimization of tapping parameters and multi-factor collaborative processing. The machining center sets the machining parameters according to different materials, hole diameters, and depths of threads, and performs rigid tapping on pre-drilled bottom holes. The setting of machining parameters uses an intelligent algorithm optimization model, which comprehensively considers multiple factors such as material properties, tool performance, and machine tool performance to achieve automatic matching and optimization of machining parameters.
[0014] S5. Dynamic efficiency enhancement of rigid tapping cooling and lubrication. The rigid tapping speed is 40-60r / min. During the tapping process, the cooling and lubrication integrated droplet injection system is used to accurately spray the cooling lubricant into the processing area in the form of droplets. The droplet size can be dynamically adjusted according to the processing conditions to improve the cooling and lubrication effect, further reduce tool wear and improve thread processing quality.
[0015] Preferably, in step S1, the intelligent frequency adaptive adjustment module calculates and adjusts the output frequency according to the following formula: Among them, f new is the adjusted frequency, f init is the initial set frequency, k is the frequency adjustment coefficient, the value range is between 0.1-0.5, ΔZ is the change in acoustic impedance of the material during processing, and Z0 is the initial acoustic impedance of the material.
[0016] Preferably, in step S3, the pressure of the high-pressure water outlet device can be automatically adjusted according to the amount of chips generated and the discharge conditions.

[0018] Preferably, in step S1, the high-precision vibration sensor has a measurement accuracy of nanometers, and is used to accurately capture tiny vibration deviations of the tap under high-frequency vibration, and timely transmit the data to the numerical control system of the machining center for processing.
[0019] Preferably, in step S2, the ultrasonic monitoring system uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibration technology, which is not affected by interference factors such as light and mechanical vibration, and achieves high-precision measurement of ultrasonic vibration intensity with a measurement error of <0.1‰.
[0020] Preferably, in step S3, the pressure regulation of the high-pressure water outlet device monitors the pressure changes in the chip removal pipeline in real time through the numerical control system, and the intelligent controller automatically adjusts the pressure or vacuum pump power in combination with the chip flow monitoring data to ensure smooth discharge of chips.
[0021] Preferably, in step S4, the intelligent algorithm optimization model is based on a genetic algorithm or a neural network algorithm, and establishes an optimal matching relationship library of material-tool-machine tool processing parameters by learning and analyzing a large amount of historical processing data, and performs rapid retrieval and optimization adjustments according to real-time working conditions in actual processing.
[0022] Preferably, in step S5, the integrated cooling and lubrication droplet injection system adopts piezoelectric drive technology, which can accurately control the injection frequency and particle size of the droplets. The injection frequency can be adjusted in the range of 100Hz-1000Hz, and the droplet particle size can be accurately controlled between 10μm-100μm, thereby achieving precise cooling and lubrication of the processing area.
[0023] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention:
[0024] 1.

At the same time, with the assistance of high-precision sensors and advanced detection equipment, the verticality and smoothness of the thread are better guaranteed, and the scrap rate is close to zero, which effectively improves the thread processing quality, meets the high-precision production requirements, reduces the rework and scrap losses caused by processing quality problems, and improves production efficiency;
[0025] 2. In the process of machining, the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound causes the coolant to be instantly atomized to take away the heat, and the actual contact time between the tool and the workpiece is only one-third of that of the traditional machining method. Combined with innovative technologies such as the cooling and lubrication integrated droplet injection system, the tool wear is greatly reduced. Compared with the traditional machining method, the tool life can be increased by 3-5 times, which significantly reduces the frequency and cost of tool replacement.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0027] Figure 1 It is the overall flow chart of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Embodiment 1,
[0030] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for ultrasonic drilling and rigid tapping of titanium alloy, high temperature alloy and duplex stainless steel thread, which is as follows:
[0031] Material: Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V;
[0032] Thread specification: M20, pitch 2.5mm
[0033] Aperture: 17.5mm;
[0034] Hole depth: 35mm.
[0035] The specific processing methods are as follows:
[0036] 1. Select Suzhou Newway CNC gantry machining center, model PM1520HA for transformation, install ultrasonic generator, receiver, transducer and ultrasonic special tool holder according to S1 step, and connect relevant lines. Among them, the initial frequency of the intelligent frequency adaptive adjustment module of the ultrasonic generator is set to 20kHz based on the past experience of similar material processing, and the frequency adjustment coefficient is 0.3. The high-precision sensor integrated in the ultrasonic special tool holder is professionally calibrated before installation to ensure that the measurement accuracy reaches the nanometer level. After installation, it is stably connected with the CNC system of the machining center to realize real-time data transmission, providing guarantee for subsequent processing process monitoring;
[0037] 2. According to step S2, for titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V material and M20 thread specification, combined with the material's microstructure and mechanical properties big data analysis, by querying the professional material database established within the company (the database covers the detailed crystal structure, hardness, elastic modulus and other parameters of various titanium alloy materials and the corresponding relationship with the ultrasonic frequency), the ultrasonic frequency is preliminarily determined to be 21kHz. Subsequently, the ultrasonic vibration intensity is accurately checked using an ultrasonic monitoring device. During the detection process, if it is found that the vibration intensity is not within the preset optimal range (the amplitude is set to 10-15μm in this embodiment), the intelligent frequency adaptive adjustment module of the ultrasonic generator is started for adjustment. During the adjustment, according to the formula Assuming that the material sample is tested before processing and the change in material acoustic impedance ΔZ is 3% (relative to the initial acoustic impedance Z0), substitute it into the formula to calculate the new frequency f new, and set it in the ultrasonic generator, and use the ultrasonic monitoring system to check the vibration intensity again until it meets the requirements. At the same time, the ultrasonic monitoring system automatically records the detection data into the machining center control system to facilitate subsequent process analysis and optimization;
[0038] 3. According to step S3, ultrasonic-assisted pre-drilling of a 17.5 mm diameter bottom hole is performed. The rotation speed is set to 1300 r / min, the feed rate is set to 160 mm / min, and the high-pressure central water outlet device is started. The initial pressure is estimated to be 2 kg based on experience and material properties. During the pre-drilling process, the pressure sensor monitors the pressure change required for chip removal of the workpiece in real time, and the chip flow sensor synchronously detects the chip generation and discharge. If it is found that the chips have a tendency to accumulate, for example, the chip flow rate Q reaches 4 g / min, (assuming α is 25, b is 1, according to the relationship between impact pressure and chip flow F = α × Q b ) The intelligent controller automatically adjusts the center water outlet pressure vacuum pump power, increases the center water outlet pressure, ensures the timely discharge of chips, and uses the ultrasonic vibration to make the chips appear fine and broken, effectively avoiding the influence of chips on processing accuracy, laying a good foundation for the subsequent tapping process;
[0039] 4. According to step S4, the intelligent algorithm optimization model is used to set the rigid tapping parameters. The material hardness (about 330HB), elastic modulus (about 110GPa), hole diameter 17.5mm and thread depth 35mm are input. The output speed is 50r / min, the feed rate is 0.12mm / r, and the ultrasonic frequency is 23kHz. After these parameters are accurately set to the machining center, the rigid tapping operation is started. During the tapping process, the machining center control system pays close attention to the data feedback from the high-precision vibration sensor in the ultrasonic special tool holder. The sensor can accurately capture the tiny vibration deviation of the tap under high-frequency vibration. Once abnormal vibration or excessive cutting force occurs, the control system immediately adjusts the processing parameters according to the sensor feedback to ensure the stability and efficiency of the processing process and the quality of thread processing.
[0040] 5. According to step S5, the integrated cooling and lubrication droplet injection system is started during the tapping process. The piezoelectric drive technology is used. The initial injection frequency is set to 400 Hz and the droplet size is set to 40 μm. During the processing, the temperature change is monitored in real time by a temperature sensor installed near the processing area. At the same time, the tool wear condition is comprehensively judged based on the preset tool wear threshold (which can be determined through experiments or experience) and the actual processing time.
[0041] For example, when the temperature rises above 90°C or the processing time reaches a certain length and the tool cutting force shows a clear upward trend, the control system automatically adjusts the injection frequency to 600 Hz and reduces the droplet size to 30 μm to enhance the cooling and lubrication effect, further reduce tool wear, and ensure processing accuracy and surface quality.

The allowable deviation of the median diameter is ±0.05mm, and the allowable deviation of the minor diameter is ±0.03mm.
[0044] 2. Surface roughness test: Use a roughness meter to test the thread surface. Select 5 measuring points evenly along the spiral direction on the thread side. Measure each point 3 times and take the average value as the surface roughness R of the point. a Value, to ensure the measurement results are accurate and reliable, compared with the surface roughness ≤6.3μm specified in the standard;

Tool wear detection: After the tapping is completed, carefully remove the tap, observe the wear of the tap cutting edge under the ultra-depth microscope, use image analysis software to measure the wear width of the tap back face, select 3 measurement positions evenly on the cutting edge, take the average value as the wear width value, and judge it as qualified if the wear width is less than 0.1mm. At the same time, record the wear morphology and characteristics of the tool to provide a reference for subsequent tool life analysis and process improvement. Continuously rigidly tap 12 holes, the tap coating is not worn, the plug gauge test is all qualified, and the 12 holes thread processing time is a total of 10 minutes.

Perform ultrasonic-assisted pre-drilling of the bottom hole according to step S3, set the rotation speed to 1450r / min, the feed rate to 145mm / min, start the high-pressure central water outlet device, and set its initial pressure to 3kg based on material properties and empirical values. During the pre-drilling process, the pressure sensor and the chip flow sensor work closely together to monitor the pressure change and chip generation and discharge during chip removal in real time. When the chip flow rate Q reaches 7g / min, (assuming α is 40, b is 1.4, according to the formula F = α × Q b ), the intelligent controller quickly and automatically adjusts the central water outlet pressure or vacuum pump power to ensure timely and smooth discharge of chips. At the same time, the high-frequency vibration of ultrasound is used to make the chips appear small and evenly broken, effectively avoiding the adverse effects of chip accumulation on machining accuracy and creating good machining conditions for subsequent rigid tapping processes;
[0095] 4. According to step S4, the rigid tapping parameters are set using the intelligent algorithm optimization model (based on the neural network algorithm). The hardness of the material (about 420HB), elastic modulus (about 210GPa), hole diameter 26.5mm and thread depth 30mm are input. The well-trained neural network quickly calculates the output speed to be 42r / min, the feed rate to be 0.1mm / r, and the ultrasonic frequency to be 29kHz. After these precisely calculated parameters are accurately set to the machining center, the rigid tapping operation is started. During the tapping process, the control system of the machining center continues to pay close attention to the data feedback from the high-precision vibration sensor in the ultrasonic special tool holder. The sensor can keenly capture the tiny vibration deviation of the tap under high-frequency vibration. Once abnormal vibration, excessive cutting force fluctuation or other unstable processing conditions occur, the control system immediately adjusts the processing parameters according to the sensor feedback to ensure that the processing process remains stable and efficient at all times, effectively ensuring the high-quality completion of thread processing.
[0096] 5. According to step S5, the integrated cooling and lubrication droplet injection system is started during the tapping process. Advanced piezoelectric drive technology is used. The initial injection frequency is set to 550 Hz and the droplet size is set to 55 μm. During the processing, the temperature changes are monitored in real time by high-precision temperature sensors installed at key positions in the processing area. At the same time, the tool wear condition is comprehensively judged by combining the preset tool wear threshold model (this model comprehensively considers factors such as tool material, processing parameters and material properties) and actual processing time, cutting force changes and other factors.
[0097] For example, when the temperature rises above 120°C or the cutting force of the tool shows a clear upward trend in a short period of time and lasts for a certain period of time, the control system automatically adjusts the injection frequency to 750 Hz and reduces the droplet size to 45 μm to significantly enhance the cooling and lubrication effect, further reduce tool wear, and ensure that the processing accuracy and surface quality always meet high standards.

Use a high-resolution image measuring instrument to measure the processed threads comprehensively, accurately measure the major diameter, middle diameter, minor diameter, thread angle, pitch and other parameters of the threads, and make detailed comparisons with the standard values. The middle diameter tolerance is controlled within the range of ±0.08mm to ensure that the geometric accuracy of the threads fully meets the design requirements. During the measurement process, each parameter is measured multiple times at different positions of the threads (e.g., 6 measurement points are evenly selected in the circumferential direction of the threads, 3 measurement sections are selected in the length direction of the threads, and each section is measured 3 times for each parameter). The average value is taken as the final measurement result to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data.

Select 6 measurement points evenly distributed on the circumference of different cross sections of the thread. Each point is measured multiple times in different directions (such as measuring each point 4 times). The average value is taken as the surface roughness R of the point. a The measured value is strictly compared with the surface roughness ≤6.3μm specified in the standard to determine whether the thread surface quality is qualified.
[0101] 3. Tool wear depth and area detection: After tapping is completed, carefully remove the tap and carefully observe the wear of the tap cutting edge under an ultra-depth of field microscope. Use professional image analysis software to accurately measure the wear length, width and proportion of the wear area to the total area of the tap cutting edge. Select multiple measurement positions evenly on the cutting edge (such as 5 measurement positions) for measurement, and take the average value as the final measurement result. The wear area ratio is less than 5% and is considered qualified. At the same time, record the specific position, morphological characteristics and wear law of the tool wear in detail to provide a strong reference for subsequent tool life analysis, tool optimization design and processing technology improvement.

If the vibration intensity is not within the preset optimal amplitude range of 15-20μm, the intelligent frequency adaptive adjustment module of the ultrasonic generator is quickly started for adjustment. The adjustment is based on the formula Assuming that the acoustic impedance change ΔZ of the material detected during the processing is 7% (relative to the initial acoustic impedance Z0), the new frequency f is calculated. new And set it in the ultrasonic generator, and use the ultrasonic monitor to check the vibration intensity again until it meets the requirements.

The neural network quickly calculates the output speed of 40r / min, the feed rate of 0.22mm / r, and the ultrasonic frequency of 25kHz. After these parameters are accurately set to the machining center, the rigid tapping operation is started. During the tapping process, the machining center control system closely monitors the data fed back by the high-precision vibration sensor in the ultrasonic special tool holder. Once abnormal vibration or excessive cutting force occurs, the machining parameters are immediately adjusted according to the sensor feedback to ensure a stable and efficient machining process and ensure the quality of thread machining.

When the temperature rises above 130 ° C or the tool cutting force increases significantly, the control system automatically adjusts the injection frequency to 900 Hz and reduces the droplet size to 30 μm to enhance the cooling and lubrication effect, reduce tool wear, and ensure processing accuracy and surface quality.

During the processing, the high-frequency vibration of the tap can instantly atomize the coolant, quickly taking away the processing heat. The actual processing condition is invisible intermittent cutting, and the contact time between the tool and the workpiece is only one-third of that of the traditional processing method.
[0124] It subverts the traditional processing technology and solves the problem of rigid tapping of difficult-to-process materials such as titanium alloy, high-temperature alloy, duplex stainless steel, etc., making the impossible possible, improving efficiency by 9-15 times, greatly reducing labor intensity, and better ensuring thread verticality, smoothness, and zero scrap rate;
[0125] Moreover, the tool life is greatly improved due to the rapid removal of processing heat and the reduction of the actual contact time between the tool and the workpiece. Compared with traditional processing methods, the tool life can be increased by 3-5 times and the tool cost is greatly reduced.
