Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of laser electrolytic combined machining, and particularly relates to a method and device for ultrasonic vibration assisted chemical polishing of the inner wall of a metal capillary. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, micro-porous structures are widely used in the fields of aerospace, medicine and electronics. For example, the gas film cooling hole of a turbine blade cannot have a recast layer, micro-cracks and a heat affected zone on the inner surface due to the harsh working environment, and the hole opening is smooth and free of burrs. Metal tube electrode electrolytic machining is a machining technology based on the principle of electrochemical anodic dissolution, which has the advantages of no electrode loss, no recast layer and no heat affected zone, but the machining efficiency is not high. Laser electrolytic combined machining can combine electrolytic machining with laser machining to improve the surface quality and machining efficiency of electrolytic machining. Some scholars use glass tubes or polytetrafluoroethylene tubes to cover the inside of the metal capillary, which limits the size of the metal capillary, making it difficult to machine holes with a diameter of less than 0.8 mm, and affecting the flushing effect of the electrolyte. It has been found by researchers of Nanhang that a larger inner diameter tube electrode can effectively improve the cleaning conditions and promote the discharge of machining by-products. However, the rough inner wall of the metal capillary on the market will increase the transmission loss, which seriously affects the performance of laser-assisted electrolytic machining. The current polishing of the inner wall of the capillary, such as magnetorheological polishing, electrochemical polishing, abrasive flow polishing and ultrasonic vibration polishing, has its own shortcomings and cannot be well applied to the polishing of the inner wall of the capillary with a diameter of 1.0 mm or less.
