Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel milling technology, and in particular to a simulation method and apparatus for heat-cold source composite assisted milling. Background Technology

[0002] H13 hardened cast steel is widely used in the abrasive manufacturing industry. Its high hardness (approximately 60 HRC) and high thermal strength lead to problems such as large cutting forces, severe tool wear, and difficulty in ensuring workpiece surface quality during conventional cutting processes. Studies have shown that the mechanical stress of high-strength steel during shear deformation can be reduced through heat-assisted machining. However, more heat is concentrated in the tool-chip (workpiece) contact area and the workpiece's plastic deformation area, causing localized overheating in the machining zone. This can lead to workpiece damage or premature tool wear, compromising machining efficiency and quality. Current technologies typically use a combination of cold and heat to assist milling. However, in this combined-assisted milling process, the cutting deformation zone involves complex electromagnetic and thermal effects, the effects of low-temperature coolant, and the thermo-mechanical coupling load at the tool-workpiece (chip) contact interface. Existing simulation software struggles to accurately reproduce the actual machining scenario, resulting in significant simulation discrepancies and an inability to obtain accurate and effective milling parameters.

Therefore, the appearance of "in an embodiment" or "an embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0045] It should be understood that the terms "comprising / including," "consisting of," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product, apparatus, process, or method that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but may also include, where necessary, other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product, apparatus, process, or method.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a simulation method for heat-cold source composite assisted milling, comprising the following steps:

[0048] Step 11: Obtain the geometric parameters, material properties, and heating conditions of the workpiece to be processed;

[0049] Step 12: Determine the induction heating model in the hot-cold source composite assisted milling process based on the geometric parameters, material properties, and heating conditions;

[0050] Step 13: Determine the preheating temperature field in the heat-cold source composite assisted milling process based on the induction heating model;

[0051] Step 14: Based on the preheating temperature field, input the preset milling parameters into the preset heat-cold source composite assisted milling simulation model to simulate the milling process of the workpiece by heat-cold source composite assisted milling, and obtain the target simulation result; the heat-cold source composite assisted milling simulation model is constructed based on the induction heating model, preset heat exchange window parameters, initial boundary conditions and tool contact model.

[0052] In this embodiment, modeling based on the geometric parameters, material properties, and heating conditions of the workpiece to be processed can ensure the accuracy of the induction heating model, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the subsequent milling simulation. Here, the induction heating model is a three-dimensional geometric model that includes the heating conditions, specifically including the three-dimensional geometric model corresponding to the heating induction coil and the three-dimensional geometric model of the workpiece to be processed. Furthermore, under the heating conditions, induction heating is simulated through the induction heating model to obtain the preheating temperature field during hot-cold composite assisted milling, providing heat conduction conditions for the subsequent milling simulation.

[0053] Here, when constructing the thermal-cold source composite assisted milling simulation model, the following assumptions and simplifications need to be made to ensure that the constructed thermal-cold source composite assisted milling simulation model can accurately reproduce the milling process: (a) Assume that the workpiece material is homogeneous and isotropic, and ignore the differences in the microstructure of the workpiece material grains during the milling simulation process; (b) When the heating induction coil heats the workpiece surface, ignore the heating effect of the coil on the tool surface; (c) Ignore the changes in contact pressure distribution and chip flow path caused by tool wear during the actual machining process.

[0054] Here, the preset heat exchange window parameters are parameters such as the cooling medium in a low-temperature micro-lubricant environment (low-temperature cold source) during milling, so as to control the temperature of the cutting area when the tool and the workpiece are in contact during milling simulation, thereby realizing the simulation of the milling process assisted by heat and cold source, so as to realistically restore the heat-cold composite assisted milling process and obtain the target simulation results; here, the target simulation results can include cutting force, cutting temperature, chip morphology, tool wear morphology, workpiece surface roughness, workpiece surface morphology integrity, workpiece subsurface microstructure, and workpiece subsurface microstructure hardness for evaluating milling quality.

[0055] By simulating the milling process assisted by a combined heat and cold source, and combining the simulation results with the analysis of the target, the optimal milling process parameters (the moving speed of the heating induction coil or the tool feed rate V) are determined. f Tool spindle speed n, milling width a e Milling depth a p The combination provides a scientific basis, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of milling.

[0056] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the preset heat exchange window parameters include the cooling medium temperature, convective heat transfer coefficient, and cooling zone range during the heat-cold source composite assisted milling process; preferably, the cooling medium temperature T can be -10℃, and the convective heat transfer coefficient h can be 2000 W / (m²). 2 The cooling zone, primarily encompassing the areas affected by the induction heat source and the cryogenic cold source, is the surface area of ​​the cutting tool and the workpiece. Preferably, to ensure accurate heat transfer, a convective heat transfer coefficient of 1400 W / (m²) is set between the interfaces of the cutting tool and the workpiece, and between the cutting tool and the chips. 2 ·K). In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the geometric parameters of the workpiece to be processed include the geometric shape of the workpiece and its corresponding length, width and height; the material properties include the material, thermal properties and mechanical properties of the workpiece; and the heating conditions include the alternating frequency of the heating current, the heating power and the moving speed of the heating induction coil. Here, the length, width, height of the workpiece to be processed and the geometric features of the induction coil can be simplified, retaining only the main working area of ​​the induction coil and the main action areas of the induced heat source and the low-temperature cold source, so as to ensure the accuracy of the modeling and avoid the problem of increased computational complexity caused by the sharp increase in subsequent model mesh data after modeling with the overall size.

[0057] Step 12 above may include:

[0058] Step 121: Perform geometric modeling of the heating induction coil and the workpiece to be processed using preset 3D modeling software, and save the positioned geometric model in a preset format to ensure data compatibility.

[0059] Step 122: Import the geometric model in the preset format into the preset DEFORM-3D simulation software, and at the same time set the material, thermal properties, mechanical properties, heating current alternating frequency, heating power and heating induction coil moving speed of the workpiece to be processed in the geometric model, so as to determine the induction heating model.

[0060] In this embodiment, SolidWorks 3D modeling software can be used to perform geometric modeling on the simplified workpiece to be processed and the induction coil, and the positioned geometric model can be saved as .STL format and imported into the preset DEFORM-3D simulation software to further set relevant initial conditions, including the material, thermal properties, mechanical properties, alternating frequency of heating current, heating power, and moving speed of heating induction coil of the workpiece to be processed.

[0061] Here, the material of the workpiece to be processed is hardened mold steel with a Rockwell hardness of 45HRC, such as H13 steel. This material has high hardness and strength, good thermal stability and thermal fatigue performance, and is suitable for mold processing applications. Preferably, the constitutive equation of H13 steel can be described by the DEF model. The material of the heating induction coil can be pure copper to ensure good electromagnetic induction effect.

[0062] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned simulation method for heat-cold source composite assisted milling may further include:

[0063] Step 123: Perform geometric modeling of the cutting tool based on the preset 3D modeling software to obtain the cutting tool model;

[0064] Step 124: Based on a preset mesh refinement depth, perform local meshing on the contact surface region of the tool model and the workpiece geometry model corresponding to the workpiece to be processed, so as to obtain multiple unit meshes of the contact surface region.

[0065] In this embodiment, SolidWorks 3D modeling software can be used to perform geometric modeling on the simplified tool, and the positioned tool geometry model can be saved as .STL format and imported into the preset DEFORM-3D simulation software; here, the milling cutter and tool holder in the tool are made of cemented carbide WC, whose high hardness and wear resistance can effectively ensure machining accuracy;

[0066] During ultra-high frequency induction heating, the skin effect causes eddy current density to be concentrated mainly in the surface area of ​​the tool and the workpiece, resulting in approximately 86% of the heat being distributed within the skin depth range. Therefore, in the main area of ​​action of the induction heat source and the low-temperature cold source, namely the contact surface area between the tool and the workpiece, the contact surface area between the tool and the workpiece can be meshed by setting a preset mesh refinement depth and combining it with parameters such as the number of meshes and the mesh size ratio, and the mesh density distribution can be controlled to achieve precise allocation of computing resources in different areas. Preferably, the mesh parameters of the tool and the workpiece are set as shown in Table 1 below.

[0067] Table 1. Mesh Parameter Settings for Tool and Workpiece

[0068]

[0069] By meshing the local area (the contact surface area between the tool and the workpiece), the temperature gradient distribution of the tool and workpiece surface area can be accurately simulated. Furthermore, the sparsification of non-critical areas achieves a balance between computational efficiency and accuracy, thus ensuring the high efficiency and accuracy of numerical simulation.

[0070] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the preset mesh refinement depth is expressed by the following formula:

[0071] ;

[0072] in, Indicates the preset mesh refinement depth; Represents angular frequency. f represents frequency; Indicates the resistivity of the material; Indicates the permeability of free space; This indicates the relative magnetic permeability of the material.

[0073] In this embodiment,

[0074] It should be understood that the contact surface area between the tool model and the workpiece geometry model corresponding to the workpiece to be machined includes both the tool surface area and the workpiece surface area; therefore, the aforementioned preset mesh refinement depth can include:

[0075] ;

[0076] ;

[0077] in, Indicates the preset mesh refinement depth of the cutting tool; Indicates the resistivity of the cutting tool; Indicates the preset mesh refinement depth of the workpiece; This indicates the resistivity of the workpiece.

[0078] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the tool contact model includes a friction model of the interface between the tool and the workpiece and a tool wear model during tool cutting.

[0079] In this embodiment, the frictional behavior of the tool-chip contact interface is one of the key factors affecting machining performance. During heat-cold source assisted milling, the tool-chip contact interface is subjected to extreme high temperature and high pressure environments due to the preheating treatment by the induction heat source and the complex thermo-mechanical coupling effect in the cutting deformation zone. Compared to the traditional Coulomb friction model, the friction model considering the change in material yield strength can more reasonably describe the plastic flow behavior of metallic materials under high temperature and high pressure (thermal softening effect) conditions.

[0080] Meanwhile, during the removal of H13 hardened die steel, the coupling effect of induced heat and cutting heat causes the tool to be in a high-temperature working state for a long time. The tool wear model can dynamically reflect the key damage mechanisms such as tool material softening and oxidation wear caused by high temperature by introducing the temperature variable T.

[0081] Preferably, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the friction model is expressed by the following formula:

[0082] ;

[0083] in, Let m represent the shear stress, m represent the shear factor, and k represent the shear strength and yield strength of the material. related.

[0084] Preferably, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the tool wear model is represented by the following formula:

[0085] ;

[0086] in, The value represents the tool wear amount, where a and b are wear coefficients, p represents the tool contact pressure, V represents the relative speed of tool movement, T represents the absolute temperature, and dt represents the time increment.

[0087] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the above-described simulation method based on hot-cold source composite assisted milling may further include:

[0088] Step 15: Based on the target simulation results, update and adjust the parameters of the heat-cold source composite assisted milling simulation model.

[0089] In this embodiment, to comprehensively evaluate the applicability of the simulation model, it can be run with several different sets of milling process parameters, and the simulation results corresponding to different parameters can be analyzed to ensure that the simulation process includes various levels of milling parameters. Here, the parameters of the simulation model may include the alternating frequency of the heating current, heating power, the moving speed of the heating induction coil, the cooling medium temperature in the preset heat exchange window parameters, and the convective heat transfer coefficient. By analyzing the target simulation results under different milling process parameter conditions, the parameters of the simulation model can be adjusted in a timely manner, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the simulation. Preferably, the analysis of the target simulation results can be performed by designing orthogonal experiments and using range analysis to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the analysis results.

[0090] The following simulation experiment of heat-cold source combined assisted milling will be conducted using H13 hardened die steel and the corresponding limited cutting process parameters: feed rate 200~400 mm / min, tool spindle speed 500~1500 r / min, milling width 4~12 mm, and milling depth 0.2~0.8 mm as an example. Five key cutting process parameters, namely heating power, feed rate, tool spindle speed, milling width, and milling depth, are selected as control variables. An L18 orthogonal experiment is designed to conduct multi-factor optimization analysis, as shown in Table 2.

[0091] Table 2. Orthogonal experimental design (T = -10℃, h = 2000 W / (m2·K))

[0092]

[0093] Simulation calculations and analyses were performed based on the experimental scheme shown in Table 2, and the experimental results are summarized in Table 3. Cutting force, cutting temperature, and total wear on the tool rake face were selected as key output variables for range analysis. The total cutting force Fr, calculated from the average cutting force components Fx, Fy, and Fz obtained during the simulation's stable phase, was used as the cutting force evaluation value.

[0094] Table 3. Results of the orthogonal experimental design

[0095]

[0096] Table 4 shows the results of range analysis on the influence of cutting force in the simulated hot-cold source combined assisted milling of H13 hardened die steel. The results indicate that the order of cutting force is: depth of cut > spindle speed > width of cut > feed rate > heating power. In actual machining, the lower the cutting force, the lower the mechanical load on the tool. Simultaneously, reducing the cutting temperature indirectly reduces tool thermal damage, effectively delaying tool wear and increasing tool life. Therefore, when cutting force is the optimization target, its value should be as low as possible. The optimal combination of milling process parameters is: heating power 80 kW, feed rate 200 mm / min, spindle speed 1500 r / min, width of cut 4 mm, and depth of cut 0.2 mm.

[0097] Table 4. Cutting Force Range Analysis Table

[0098]

[0099] analyze Figure 3 It can be seen that the cutting force F increases with the feed rate V f Milling width a e and milling depth a pThe cutting force increases with increasing preheating power; however, when the heating power P increases from 50 kW to 80 kW, the decrease in cutting force is more significant. This is mainly because the material enters a stage of rapid decrease in yield strength and tensile strength at higher preheating temperatures, thereby reducing cutting resistance. When the spindle speed n increases from 1000 r / min to 1500 r / min, the decreasing trend in cutting force slows down to some extent.

[0100] Table 5 shows the results of the range analysis on the influence of cutting temperature. The results indicate that the order is: heating power > milling width > milling depth > spindle speed > feed rate. In actual machining, excessively high cutting temperatures will exacerbate tool wear and cause thermal damage to the workpiece surface. Therefore, when cutting temperature is the optimization target, its value should be as small as possible. The optimal combination of milling process parameters is: heating power 20 kW, feed rate 200 mm / min, spindle speed 500 r / min, milling width 4 mm, and milling depth 0.2 mm.

[0101] Table 5. Analysis of Cutting Temperature Range

[0102]

[0103] according to Figure 4 The analysis results show that the cutting temperature T increases with the feed rate V. f Tool spindle speed n, milling width a e and milling depth a p The temperature rises with the increase of process parameters, but once these process parameters reach a certain level, the temperature rise trend tends to level off. In contrast, when the heating power P increases from 50kW to 80kW, the cutting temperature shows a more significant upward trend. The combined effect of induction heat and cutting heat causes a sharp increase in cutting temperature.

[0104] Table 6 shows the range analysis results when the cumulative wear of the tool rake face is the optimization objective. The results indicate that the influence of each factor on tool wear is in the following order: milling width > milling depth > heating power > feed rate > spindle speed. Reducing tool wear is crucial for extending tool life and improving workpiece surface quality, while also helping to reduce production costs and increase machining efficiency. Therefore, when tool wear is the optimization objective, the lower the value, the better. The optimal combination of milling process parameters is: heating power 50 kW, feed rate 300 mm / min, spindle speed 500 r / min, milling width 4 mm, and milling depth 0.2 mm.

[0105] Table 6. Range Analysis of Total Wear on Tool Rake Face

[0106]

[0107] analyze Figure 5It can be seen that the tool wear first decreases and then increases with the change of heating power P. The main reason for this phenomenon is that when the preheating temperature increases, the workpiece material undergoes a thermal softening effect, leading to a reduction in cutting force and thus delaying tool wear; however, as the preheating temperature further increases, the cutting temperature rises sharply, which in turn exacerbates tool wear. Meanwhile, with the increase of feed rate V... f As the cutting temperature increases, tool wear initially decreases and then increases. This may be because high temperatures enhance chip flow and reduce contact pressure p, thus reducing wear on the tool rake face. However, with further increases in cutting temperature, tool wear intensifies. Furthermore, with increasing spindle speed n and milling width a... e and milling depth a p As the wear rate increases, tool wear shows an upward trend, but once it reaches a certain level, the upward trend in wear rate tends to level off.
