Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of metal powder processing, powder metallurgy, and powder rolling and extrusion, and relates to a technology for visual monitoring of dynamic reconstruction of micro contact force chains of granular materials, in particular to an experimental device for visual monitoring of dynamic reconstruction of micro contact force chains of granular materials. BACKGROUND
[0002] Metal powder processing, powder metallurgy, and powder rolling and extrusion manufacturing processes play a core role in the field of high-end equipment, and their importance mainly lies in breaking through the performance limits of traditional materials, realizing integrated forming of complex structures, and promoting innovation in lightweight design.
[0003] Although metal powder processing, powder metallurgy, and powder rolling and extrusion processes have unique advantages in the field of high-end equipment, they still face many technical bottlenecks under the coupling action of multiple scales and multiple physical fields. These bottlenecks limit the further improvement of their process performance and restrict their widespread industrial application under extreme working conditions. From the perspective of the process chain, the current technical system faces challenges in three key dimensions: (1) In the raw material pretreatment stage, the main problems include poor powder flowability, poor mixing uniformity, and segregation of powders with different densities and particle sizes; (2) In the forming processing stage, the density gradient is significant, the residual porosity is high, the demolding damage, sintering deformation and cracking defects exist; (3) In the interface engineering stage, there are key technical problems such as insufficient interface bonding strength and unstable surface quality.
[0004] Through systematic experimental research and theoretical analysis, it is found that the essential mechanism of these apparent process defects can be traced back to the dynamic evolution instability of the micro contact force chain network structure of the particle system. Specifically, (1) the force chain mechanism of the raw material processing problem: the poor flowability of the powder is due to the formation of a percolation rigid force chain network during static piling, whose topological structure hinders the rearrangement movement of the particles; the poor mixing uniformity is due to the force chain clusters in the multi-component system; and the segregation phenomenon is due to the difference in the fractal dimension of the force chain network caused by the difference in particle size / density; (2) the force chain root of the forming defect: the significant pressing density gradient is caused by the stress arch effect, which shows the spatial heterogeneity of the force chain network; the residual pore is directly related to the force chain fracture, and the micro pore nucleus is formed at the fracture; the demolding damage corresponds to the elastic rebound instability of the force chain network; and the sintering deformation is caused by the thermodynamic non-equilibrium evolution of the force chain network; (3) the force chain nature of the interface problem: the insufficient interface bonding strength is due to the low transmission efficiency of the force chain at the rolling interface; the poor surface quality is caused by the fracture or peeling of the surface layer particles due to the concentration of shear force chains, which is directly related to the shear instability of the force chain network. As can be seen, the force chain network is the core structure of the particle material bearing, and its dynamic evolution directly affects the compression, flow, densification and other behaviors of the material. By studying the evolution of the force chain, a correlation model between the micro force chain and the macro mechanical properties can be established, which deepens the understanding of the constitutive relationship of powder materials, and is expected to realize the precise regulation of the structural characteristics and dynamic behavior of the force chain network, so as to systematically solve the technical bottlenecks in metal powder processing, powder metallurgy and other processes, and promote the overall improvement of technical performance.
[0005] At present, the research on the structural characteristics and evolution of the micro contact force chain network of particle materials is mainly through simulation means, and the experimental research mainly focuses on the structural characteristics of the force chain of the static particle system, and the experimental research on the dynamic reconstruction of the force chain is almost blank, which is mainly caused by the fundamental limitations of the technical level and the lack of theoretical methods. Specifically: (1) in the imaging technology, the industrial CT scanning frequency is low, which cannot capture the instant of force chain fracture / recombination; in addition, high-speed photography cannot penetrate three-dimensional particle layers, and the cost of synchrotron radiation source is extremely high; (2) in the force measurement technology, the photoelasticity method is limited by the transparency of the particles, and the pressure-sensitive film can only measure the boundary force, but cannot measure the contact force between the particles; (3) in the theoretical method, due to the lack of dynamic constitutive theory and theoretical guidance in the field of cross-scale correlation fracture, the breakthrough of the technical bottlenecks in metal powder processing, powder metallurgy and other processes is limited. Based on the above research status and difficulties, relying on the support of national key projects, using the method of combining simulation and experiment, the key scientific problems in the theory of particle system are explored, so as to design the experimental device.
