Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of profile processing, and in particular to a large thin-wall stainless steel ring forming method and a large thin-wall stainless steel ring. Background Art

[0002] Ring components, as the key main structural parts of rockets, occupy an important position in aerospace engineering. At present, high-strength aluminum alloy ring components are more common in practical applications. In recent years, with the continuous development and exploration of materials science, some researchers have tried to use stainless steel as the material for preparing ring components. However, such rings made of stainless steel are typical thin-walled weak rigid rings, which expose a series of problems that need to be solved during the forming process.

[0003] Specifically, during the forming process, such rings made of stainless steel are prone to instability. Due to their thin-walled and weakly rigid structural characteristics, they are difficult to maintain a stable shape and structure under the action of processing stress, and are prone to deformation or even damage, which seriously affects product quality and production efficiency. Moreover, after the plate is bent, a large residual stress will be generated. The existence of this residual stress leads to uneven stress distribution inside the ring, forming stress concentration and significantly reducing the mechanical properties and fatigue life of the ring. In addition, the deformation rebound problem causes the size of the processed ring to deviate from the expected design size, making it difficult to meet the high-precision size requirements, which greatly limits its application in actual engineering. Therefore, the forming and preparation of thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10m is still a difficult point in research. The existence of the above problems seriously restricts the promotion and application of such large thin-walled stainless steel rings in aerospace and related industrial fields.

[0004] In the prior art, most common thin-walled stainless steel rings are made using a multi-forging welding process, that is, a rolling machine is used to bend the stainless steel sheet into an arc-shaped plate with a certain curvature, and then multiple arc-shaped plates are welded into rings. When such a process is used to prepare thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10m, it cannot be directly formed by ring rolling, but a multi-stage welding process must be used, which has a complicated process, an increased number of welds, and an increased number of weak areas of the rings; if other processes such as unwinding and single welding are used, the thin plate will produce large deformation and stress during the bending process due to the high strength and high hardness characteristics of the material, resulting in difficulty in dimensional control. Therefore, the existing preparation processes have technical bottlenecks to varying degrees when facing the manufacture of thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10m, and cannot achieve the production of such large thin-walled stainless steel rings with high efficiency and high quality. In view of this, the present invention aims to develop an innovative large-scale thin-walled stainless steel ring forming method to solve the problem of difficulty in manufacturing thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10m. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem solved by the present invention is to provide a large thin-walled stainless steel ring forming method to solve the problem of difficulty in manufacturing thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10 meters, and to provide a large thin-walled ring with excellent performance.

[0006] The technical problem solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions: A method for forming a large thin-walled stainless steel ring comprises the following steps: Raw material preparation: stainless steel coils formed from stainless steel sheets are used as raw materials; Pretreatment: prepare the ring tooling, the outer diameter of the ring tooling is the same as the inner diameter of the target thin-walled ring; pull the stainless steel sheet to the outside of the ring tooling, and clamp the upper and lower ends of the stainless steel sheet to the ring tooling; Ring rolling treatment: start the ring rolling mill, the stainless steel sheet rotates synchronously with the ring tooling, and the ring rolling mill radially rolls the stainless steel sheet to make the stainless steel sheet fit the outer wall of the ring tooling; Cutting and welding: After the stainless steel sheet moves in a circle with the ring tooling for one circle, the stainless steel sheet is cut off, and then the head end and tail end of the stainless steel sheet on the outside of the ring tooling are welded together into a whole; Local cold deformation: After welding is completed, the ring rolling mill is started to reciprocate the weld area to obtain a welded thin-walled ring. Stress relief: anneal the ring fixture together with the thin-walled ring, and then remove the thin-walled ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the stainless steel sheet has a thickness of 3-5 mm, a width of 1000-2000 mm, a tensile strength of >1035 MPa, a yield strength of ≥760 MPa, and an elongation of ≥6%.

[0008] Furthermore, in the pretreatment step, the ring tooling is a steel mold, and the cross-sectional thickness of the ring tooling is 30-70 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, in the ring rolling process, the linear speed of the main roller is 0.8-1.2 m / s, the radial rolling speed is 0.1-0.2 mm / s, and the radial feed time is 15-30 s.

[0010] Furthermore, in the cutting and welding steps, after the stainless steel sheet is cut, the incision is polished and then welded. After the welding is completed, the weld area is 0.5 to 1 mm higher than the main body.

[0011] Furthermore, in the cutting and welding steps, the welding power is 6-12 kW and the welding speed is 0.8-1.5 m / min.

[0012] Furthermore, in the local cold deformation step, the main roll feed speed of the ring rolling mill is 0.05-0.1 mm / s, and the weld area is reciprocated for 3-5 times.

[0013] Furthermore, the annealing treatment is carried out in a heating furnace, the heating temperature is 200-300° C., and the insulation time is 3-6 hours.

[0014] A large thin-walled stainless steel ring is prepared by any of the above methods, wherein the large thin-walled stainless steel ring has a tensile strength of ≥870 MPa, a yield strength of ≥420 MPa, an elongation of ≥12.5%, and an out-of-roundness of ≤0.1%.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The large thin-walled stainless steel ring forming method described in the present invention can use stainless steel as raw material to prepare large thin-walled stainless steel rings with a diameter of 10m. The ring rolling process is used to unwind and combined with stress relief annealing to reduce the rebound stress of high-strength stainless steel plates after large bending deformation; and local ring rolling cold deformation is used to improve the strength of the weld area. In addition, combined with stress relief annealing and other processes, the parameter conditions are strictly controlled to make the prepared large thin-walled stainless steel rings have a tensile strength of ≥870 MPa, a yield strength of ≥420 MPa, an elongation of ≥12.5%, and a non-roundness of ≤0.1%. The performance is excellent and can well meet the needs of aerospace and related industrial fields. The process flow of the present invention is simple, the processing cost is low, and it is suitable for large-scale processing and production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
