Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the field of plastic forming of metal materials, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a long crescent-shaped stepped boss for a fusion reactor and a forming mold. BACKGROUND
[0002] The TF coil box in a compact fusion energy experimental device (BEST) is a magnetic field system structure required for maintaining plasma discharge, and is made of 316LN austenitic stainless steel and subjected to complex working conditions of cooling, excitation, discharge and the like. A long crescent-shaped stepped boss structure product is an important part of the BEST TF coil box, and a structural diagram is shown in the figure. Figure 1 The crescent arc is longer than 4m, the thickness is relatively thick, and the forging forming has the difficulties of long heating time, poor forging penetration, large difference between sections, great forming difficulty, difficult grain size control and large attenuation in ultrasonic flaw detection. Meanwhile, the TF coil box is a key part of the magnetic system, and the magnetic property is very strict, so the ferrite content and the magnetic permeability need to be controlled, and the forging forming cannot be performed at low temperature.
[0003] A disc forging piece mold blank forming method with upper and lower bosses is disclosed in Chinese patent CN111761017B, in which a titanium alloy bar blank is heated to below the beta transformation temperature in stages, the first time is 0.6-0.8 min / mm*Dmm, wherein D is the diameter of the titanium alloy bar blank, and the diameter of the forging piece is used for stage heat preservation. Chinese patent CN103492099B discloses a manufacturing method of stepped forging material, in which the steps of obtaining a primary forging material, heating an austenitic stainless steel columnar raw material to 1000-1080 DEG C, then forging the full length of the raw material into a cylindrical shape by reciprocating forging with a forging ratio of 1.5 or more without heating the raw material, the step of obtaining a secondary forging material, gradually forming a small-diameter shaft portion by reciprocating forging without reheating the primary forging material, and ending the forging before the surface temperature of the final forging portion is reduced to 300 DEG C or more from the heating temperature of the raw material, thereby forming a large-diameter flange portion and a small-diameter shaft portion, and the step of performing solid solution heat treatment, heating the secondary forging material to 1040-1100 DEG C for 30 minutes or more. The above two patents achieve forming from different directions, but the above two processes cannot achieve the effect for important parts such as the BEST TF coil box. SUMMARY
