Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of machining of SiC aluminum matrix composites, and relates to the repair of broken bosses, specifically to a repair structure and method for the fracture of the boss of a SiC aluminum matrix composite product shell. Background Art
[0002] SiC aluminum matrix composites have the characteristics of high specific strength, high specific modulus, low thermal expansion coefficient, good anti-wear performance, etc. However, when machining bosses or making holes on bosses of SiC aluminum matrix composite products, the problem of boss fracture often occurs. According to known situations, cracks originate from the back of the unpenetrated part in the direction of the drill bit outlet at the bottom of the drill hole, and then expand upward, left and right, eventually leading to the fracture of the boss. The reason is that during the high-speed rotation of the drill bit used in machining, extrusion friction occurs with the material, resulting in wear, a decrease in sharpness, an increase in cutting force, and an increase in machining axial force, thereby leading to the fracture of the boss.
[0003] For large-diameter product shells, directly scrapping them after the boss fractures will cause significant economic losses, and repair has to be carried out. Existing technologies usually use welding methods. However, for product shells with most dimensions already finely machined, if surfacing welding is used, the product shell will receive a large amount of heat input and is likely to undergo large deformation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a new repair method. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a repair structure and method for the fracture of the boss of a SiC aluminum matrix composite product shell. The key to this method lies in "groove + insert", that is, abandoning the traditional welding method, machining a repair groove at the fractured boss of the product, and assembling an insert with a protruding step; a positioning pin is specially configured between the insert and the repair groove to ensure reliable positioning and high precision; the insert and the repair groove are fixed by "screw + concave-convex fit + glue" in three ways to strengthen and reinforce. Compared with the traditional welding method, the repair method proposed by the present invention can significantly improve the overall precision after repair, and is convenient for replacement and maintenance, with high practical value.
