Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rolling method, and particularly to a multi-directional rolling method for rectangular ring parts. Background Art

[0002] Ring rolling is one of the most effective means for producing high-performance seamless ring parts at present, and is widely used in many fields such as aviation and aerospace. For the production of rectangular ring parts, radial rolling is mostly used. The ring part and the blank are designed with the same height. The tapered roller only plays a role in preventing the ring part from climbing and restricting the increase in the height of the ring part. The axial deformation amount is small, resulting in a large difference between the radial mechanical properties and the axial mechanical properties of the ring part. With the development and progress of ring rolling technology, people have gradually mastered the radial / axial two-way rolling forming method. For the rectangular ring parts produced by this method, their axial mechanical properties have been greatly improved. However, it is still impossible to ensure that the mechanical properties of the ring part in all directions are consistent. The reason is that both the radial feed and the axial feed will cause the metal material to flow in the tangential direction of the ring part, forming a forging streamline in the tangential direction, so that the mechanical properties in the tangential direction are much better than those in the radial and axial directions. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a multi-directional rolling method for rectangular ring parts, which can make the mechanical properties of each direction of the rectangular ring part consistent by changing the flow direction of the material during rolling, so as to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of the rectangular ring part.

[0004] To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the multi-directional rolling method for rectangular ring parts of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0005] Heat the superalloy bar cut according to specifications to the forging temperature, and after upsetting, punching, and pre-rolling, make a rectangular ring blank with a height of H1, a thickness of B1, and an outer diameter of R1;

[0006] Load the rectangular ring blank onto the ring rolling mill. The core roll passes through the middle of the rectangular ring blank. Drive the core roll and drive the rectangular ring blank closer to the main roll. Then drive the conical rolls closer to the other side of the rectangular ring blank. The upper and lower conical rolls clamp the rectangular ring blank in the middle. When the rectangular ring blank is laid flat, drive the conical rolls to lift by h = 5 mm to 10 mm to make the rectangular ring blank tilt. Start the ring rolling mill for rolling. Adjust the rotational speed of the main roll to r = 1.0 rad / s. Feed the core roll radially at a feed rate of v1 = 2.5 mm / s with a driving force of F1 = 390 KN to 423 KN. The total radial feed amount is S1 = B1 - B2 + (H1×h) / 2R1. Feed the conical rolls axially at a feed rate of v2 = 1.5 mm / s with a driving force of F2 = 325 KN to 358 KN. The total axial feed amount is S2 = H1 - H2 + (B1×h) / 2R1. In the formula, B1 is the thickness of the rectangular ring blank, B2 is the thickness of the rectangular ring part, H1 is the height of the rectangular ring blank, H2 is the height of the rectangular ring part, and R1 is the outer diameter of the rectangular ring blank. When the rolling process enters a stable state, gradually lower the conical rolls until they are flush with the workbench. Stop feeding when both the radial feed amount and the axial feed amount reach the target. The rectangular ring part rotates under the action of the ring rolling mill and stops after a period of time. Then take out the rectangular ring part.

[0007] The relationship between the radial feed speed and the axial feed speed is as follows:

[0008] S1 / v1 = S2 / v2

[0009] In the formula, S1 is the total radial feed amount;

[0010] S2 is the total axial feed amount;

[0011] v1 is the radial feed speed;

[0012] v2 is the axial feed speed.

[0013] The driving force F1 for radial feed satisfies the following relationship:

[0014] F1 = α×n0×σ×H×L1

[0015] In the formula, F1 is the driving force for radial feed;

[0016] α is the pressure increase coefficient caused by the width expansion of the rectangular ring part, taking 2.0 to 2.4;

[0017] n0 is the real-time stress state coefficient;

[0018] σ is the flow stress of the material;

[0019] H is the real-time height of the rectangular ring blank;

[0020] L1 is the real-time arc length of contact between the core roll and the rectangular ring blank.

[0021] The driving force F2 for axial feed satisfies the following relationship:

[0022] F2 = β × n0 × σ × B × L2

[0023] In the formula, F2 is the driving force for axial feed;

[0024] β is the pressure increase coefficient caused by the decrease in the height of the rectangular ring part, taking a value of 2.8 - 3.2;

[0025] n0 is the real-time stress state coefficient;

[0026] σ is the flow stress of the material;

[0027] B is the real-time thickness of the rectangular ring blank;

[0028] L2 is the real-time arc length of contact between the tapered roll and the rectangular ring blank.

[0029] The superalloy is GH4169 alloy.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0031] In the multi-directional rolling method of the rectangular ring part of the present invention, by lifting the tapered roll by h = 5 mm - 10 mm, a small inclination of the rectangular ring part occurs, changing the flow of the metal material during rolling and making it consistent in all directions.

[0032] The rotational speed of the main roll is set to 1.0 rad / s, the radial feed speed is 2.5 mm / s, the axial feed speed is 1.5 mm / s, and the radial feed speed and the axial feed speed satisfy the relational expression S1 / v1 = S2 / v2, in order to ensure that the material flow speed in the tangential direction is consistent with the material flow speeds in the radial and axial directions.

[0033] The total amount of radial feed is S1 = B1 - B2 + (H1 × h) / 2R1 and the total amount of axial feed is S2 = H1 - H2 + (B1 × h) / 2R1. On the one hand, it makes the rectangular ring blank undergo sufficient plastic deformation and improves the mechanical properties; on the other hand, it is to compensate for the dimensional differences caused by the elevation of the tapered roll.

[0034] The driving force F1 for radial feed satisfies the relational expression F1 = α × n0 × σ × H × L1, and the driving force F2 for axial feed satisfies the relational expression F2 = β × n0 × σ × B × L2, making the rectangular ring blank undergo plastic deformation in the radial and axial directions and preventing the up-and-down crosstalk caused by the inclination of the ring blank.

Then take out the rectangular ring part.
