Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aluminum alloy sheet polishing, and particularly relates to an experimental system and method for polishing aluminum alloy sheets in a vacuum cavity. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of military technology, modern warfare has increasingly high requirements for the accuracy and reliability of weapon systems. As an important air attack and self-defense system, air-to-air missiles have become a key factor in improving overall performance in terms of precise polishing of aviation weak-rigid thin-walled structural parts. However, traditional polishing methods such as ultrasonic cleaning, chemical mechanical deburring, high-pressure water flow deburring, and manual microscope deburring have limitations when processing precision aviation parts:

[0003] 1) Ultrasonic cleaning can remove some surface contamination and minor burrs, but may not be effective in achieving a highly smooth surface.

[0004] 2) Chemical mechanical deburring may damage the intrinsic properties of the material due to uncontrollable chemical reactions, especially on precision parts, which may cause unpredictable material damage.

[0005] 3) High-pressure water flow deburring can remove burrs on hard materials, but may cause deformation or damage to weak-rigid thin-walled structural parts.

[0006] 4) Manual microscope deburring is extremely precise, but has low efficiency, high cost, and requires high skills of the operator, making it unsuitable for mass production.

[0007] On the other hand, current methods of polishing using plasma are mainly applied to the polishing of copper contact surfaces, and the contact heads are mostly cylindrical, highlighting the limitations of current technology in terms of application scope. In particular, when processing metal sheets of different materials and shapes, such as aluminum alloy sheets, existing plasma polishing technology faces significant challenges. The high reactivity and oxidizability of aluminum alloy also bring additional complexity in a vacuum plasma environment. The high surface stress concentration of aluminum alloy during aging is higher than that of copper contacts, and the high current arc aging method commonly used for copper contacts is no longer suitable. At the same time, the placement of aluminum alloy sheets in a vacuum cavity is also a major problem to be solved.

[0008] In summary, existing polishing methods such as ultrasonic cleaning, chemical mechanical deburring, high-pressure water flow deburring, and manual microscope deburring have their own limitations when processing precision aviation parts, such as low efficiency, high cost, and potential damage to material properties. While current plasma polishing technology shows some potential, it still faces technical challenges and limitations in application to metal sheets of different materials and shapes, such as highly reactive and easily oxidized aluminum alloy.
