Abstract
Description

Conventional processing methods cannot effectively fix the metal pipe during processing. The relatively smooth metal pipe is not easy to clamp, making it easy to slip and shift during processing. This not only greatly reduces the accuracy of the pipe bending, but also damages the surface of the pipe. Therefore, existing processing methods are difficult to use when bending pipes, are prone to deformation, and are difficult to control processing accuracy. The success rate of processing is low and the cost is high. Summary of the Invention

[0040] (2) Select high-purity Swedish S136A steel with good machinability and cut it according to the preset size to obtain the processing blank. The steel composition contains C 0.38%, Si 0.8%, Mn 0.5%, Cr 13.6%, V < 0.03%, S < 0.03%, and Fe as the balance.

[0042] ① According to the size of the elbow part 20, use a CNC milling cutter with a diameter of φ6mm to roughen the two sides of the blank along both sides of the elbow part 20, and reserve 0.5mm on both sides of the elbow part 20.
[0043] ② The blank is vacuum heat treated. Heat treatment is a technique that modifies the internal structure and properties of a material by controlling the heating, insulation, and cooling processes in the solid state. Heat treatment can achieve a hardness of HRC 50-52. After heat treatment, cryogenic treatment is performed. Using the latent heat of vaporization of liquid nitrogen and the heat absorbed by low-temperature nitrogen, the treatment temperature can reach -196°C, ultimately achieving a consistent overall steel composition.
[0044] ③ Use a grinder to make a right angle, leaving 0.1mm on one side.
[0045] ④ Use a CNC 4mm diameter, R2mm ball cutter and a φ6mm diameter milling cutter to perform secondary roughing along both sides of the elbow part 20 on both sides of the blank, leaving 0.1mm on each side of the elbow part 20, and place it at room temperature for 12 hours to eliminate internal stress.
[0046] 4. Cut the connection between the auxiliary rib 12 and one end of the bent pipe part 20 by wire cutting.
[0047] 5. Heat treatment again, further eliminating internal stress through tempering to achieve deep elimination of internal stress.
[0048] 6. Use 3D measuring equipment to measure the shape data of the bent pipe, and use a grinder to correct the shape of the bent pipe parts according to the measurement results. The shape and right angle accuracy is <0.005mm.
[0049] 7. Use a φ6R0.5 (6mm diameter, R0.5 at the root) milling cutter and R2, R1 (4mm and 2mm diameters respectively) ball cutters to finish the two sides of the bent pipe part 20 using a CNC machine with an accuracy of <0.01mm.
[0050] 8. Remove the auxiliary ribs 12 and auxiliary frame 13 by wire cutting (such as Figure 2 shown).
[0051] 9. Use EDM to process VDI18 surface with auxiliary surface 11 as reference surface, with accuracy less than 0.01mm, and then use CNC to process the smooth surface.
[0052] 10. After EDM processing is completed, the auxiliary surface 11 is removed by wire cutting and trimming without a wire head. A precision elbow part 20 with an accuracy of 0.01 mm is obtained (as shown in 3).
[0053] The structure of the auxiliary body in this application is designed based on comprehensive considerations such as processing benchmarks, strength during processing, and deformation caused by the release of internal stress. The auxiliary body shape processing scheme can be used for various types of bent pipe parts.
[0054] The auxiliary body and the bent pipe part are made of the same material and are integrally formed. The auxiliary body is removed after processing. The processing scheme of the present invention can be used for processing any bent pipe part with this feature.
[0055] The processing method of the bent pipe parts of the present application reduces the degree of deformation during processing by rationally selecting materials; adds auxiliary bodies when designing parts to effectively reduce the processing difficulty; adopts different processes during the processing to eliminate internal stress; and overcomes the problem of deformation in the previous processing of similar parts of this type through the rational arrangement of processes, and significantly improves the processing accuracy.
