Background Art
[0002] As a core component of equipment such as shield machines and tunnel boring machines (TBMs), the performance of the insert tooth ring directly determines the rock-breaking efficiency, service life, and engineering cost of the equipment. The traditional processing of the insert tooth ring forms a wear-resistant mechanism by embedding cemented carbide teeth into the ring matrix, and needs to meet requirements such as high connection strength, high temperature resistance, and adaptability to complex geological conditions.
[0003] The traditional processing of the insert tooth ring has the following technical pain points:
[0004] 1. Process conflict: The brazing temperature (usually above 1000°C) is higher than the material quenching temperature, resulting in temper softening of the edge.
[0005] 2. Structural defect: The ring rolling forming causes the metal at the edge to be sparse, and the edge strength is low.
[0006] 3. Welding failure: The residual stress of brazing causes microcracks, and the alloy tooth shedding rate is as high as 15%.
[0007] 4. Unreasonable processing sequence: The quenching and tempering treatment and the brazing sequence result in poor material structure. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a processing technology for a new type of insert tooth ring to solve the problems of poor comprehensive performance of the edge of the insert tooth ring, high alloy shedding rate, and low tool life.
[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a processing technology for a new type of insert tooth ring, including the following steps:

[0018] S4, mill the alloy groove
[0019] Mill the alloy mounting groove on a four-axis machining center.
[0020] S5, brazing the sheet alloy
[0021] Use copper-based brazing to weld the sheet alloy.
[0022] S6, quenching and tempering
[0023] Adopt oil quenching + tempering.
[0024] S7, drilling and fine boring
[0025] Drill the alloy bottom hole with a U drill on a four-axis machining center and fine bore the alloy hole.
[0026] S8, hot-fitting the columnar alloy
[0027] Heat the cutting ring, and after holding the temperature, install the columnar alloy into the circular groove hole.
[0028] S9, coating the wear-resistant layer
[0029] Weld the wear-resistant layer on the specified surface of the cutting ring.
[0030] S10, finish machining
[0031] Precisely turn the inner hole and thickness of the cutting ring.
[0032] S11, quality inspection
[0033] Inspect the size and appearance of the indexable cutting ring.
[0034] Preferably, in S1, the set temperature is set to 1200°C.
[0035] Preferably, in step S2, the steel after die forging is heated to 850 - 880°C and isothermally cooled at 700°C for 4 hours.
[0036] Preferably, in step S5, local induction heating is adopted, and the heating rate ≤ 80°C / min.

[0054] Embodiment
[0055] As Figure 1 shown, this embodiment provides a new type of insert tooth cutter head processing technology. Taking the processing of a cutter head for a shield machine with a diameter of φ6280mm (material: 42CrMo) as an example, it includes the following steps:
[0056] S1, die forging forming: The raw material is heated to 1200°C and free forged to make a blank; it is heated to 1200°C again, and through a ten-thousand-ton press and a special mold, it is die forged and stamped into the required shape and size, and then air cooled; the final forging temperature ≥ 850°C.
[0057] S2, normalizing + spheroidizing annealing: Normalizing: The steel is heated to 880°C, held for 2h and then air cooled. Spheroidizing annealing: The steel is held at 750°C for 4h, and then furnace cooled to 500°C.
[0058] S3, rough machining in imitation of boldface: Remove the oxide layer, finish turning the cutter head blade shape, and rough machine the inner hole and thickness of the cutter head.
[0059] S4, Milling the alloy groove: Mill the alloy mounting groove on a four-axis machining center.
[0060] S5, Brazing the sheet alloy: Use a customized solder sheet with a thickness of 0.2 mm (composition: Cu-15Mn-5Ni), adopt high-frequency local induction heating, the heating rate ≤ 80 °C / min, heat to 920 ± 10 °C by high-frequency induction, the holding time is 3 min, and then cool naturally under the protective environment of argon gas.
[0061] S6, Quenching and tempering treatment: Adopt oil quenching + tempering. Heat with an integral box furnace, and calculate the holding time according to 1.2 min / mm. Set the oil quenching temperature to 845 °C, hold for 90 min, and then perform oil cooling (oil temperature: 60 - 80 °C). Set the tempering temperature to 500 °C, hold for 120 min, and then perform air cooling.
[0062] S7, Drilling and fine boring: Drill the bottom hole of the alloy with a U drill on a four-axis machining center and finish boring the alloy hole.
[0063] S8, Thermally installing the columnar alloy: Heat the tool ring, and install the columnar alloy into the circular groove hole after holding. Adopt the thermal installation process, and set the interference amount to 0.05 - 0.07 mm. Freeze the cemented carbide column (grade YG15) to -196 °C (soaked in liquid nitrogen). Locally inductively heat the tool ring to 320 °C, and set the holding time to 6 - 8 h. After interference fitting, it shrinks naturally.
[0064] S9, Coating the wear-resistant layer: Weld the wear-resistant layer on the specified surface of the tool ring. Adopt HVOF to spray the WC-10Co-4Cr coating with a thickness of 0.15 - 0.2 mm. After spraying, hold at 600 °C for 1 h, and then perform vacuum diffusion treatment.
[0065] S10, Finish machining: Finish turning the inner hole and thickness of the tool ring.
[0066] S11, Quality inspection: Inspect the dimensions and appearance of the indexable insert tool ring.
[0067] During use, compared with ring rolling forming, die forging forming can ensure that the structure of the cutting edge is relatively dense and uniform. Normalizing can refine the grains and homogenize the structure; spheroidizing annealing can spheroidize the carbides in the steel, reduce the hardness, improve the machinability, and reduce the tendency of deformation and cracking during subsequent quenching, and can also improve the cold plastic deformation ability. The split-type inlay process: brazing of sheet alloy + thermal installation of columnar alloy can reduce thermal stress damage, thereby reducing the alloy shedding rate. Control the brazing temperature to avoid tempering softening of the cutting edge; quenching and tempering treatment can adjust the comprehensive mechanical properties of the tool ring material. Brazing first and then quenching and tempering, synchronously strengthening the matrix and the weld, can make the hardness reach HRC40 - 43, thereby increasing the yield strength, and the weld shear strength is increased to more than 420 MPa, which can strengthen the material structure stability.
[0068] Therefore, the processing technology of a new type of inserted tooth cutter ring with the above structure adopted by the present invention can solve the problems of poor comprehensive performance of the cutting edge of the inserted tooth cutter ring, high alloy shedding rate, and low tool life.
[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
