Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alloy testing technology, and more specifically to a method for testing the impact fatigue of cemented carbide tooth tips. Background Technology

[0002] As the teeth of industry, cemented carbide is used as the main cutting component in the tooth position of cutting tools. Under actual working conditions, it is subjected to intermittent, high-frequency impacts. Practice has shown that the impact strength is far less than the strength limit of cemented carbide, but it can still cause it to break. This is because the dynamic impact fatigue performance cannot be equated with static performance indicators such as strength and toughness.

[0003] The prior art CN101608990A discloses a method for testing the impact fatigue of cemented carbide, which utilizes... This technique uses the impact force of free fall to perform cyclic impacts, achieving the effect of impact cycling. The final output is the number of impact cycles and the impact energy. However, this technique cannot simulate impact effects according to different working conditions. The final output data can only be compared internally and cannot provide a true evaluation of the performance of cemented carbide under corresponding working conditions.

[0004] Therefore, this application utilizes an impact fatigue testing machine and a dedicated clamping mold to calculate the impact force based on the mining conditions, rock, and cutting tooth usage. The number of impact fatigue cycles of the sample is then determined through testing. Finally, the impact fatigue life of the cemented carbide sample is calculated with reference to GB / T24176-2009 Metallic Materials - Fatigue Testing - Data Statistical Scheme and Analysis Method. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a test method for impact fatigue of cemented carbide teeth to solve the problems encountered in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: 1. By preparing a fixed contact area and simulating the corresponding rock impact conditions, the impact force is set to approximate the stress condition of the cemented carbide tooth under real working conditions.

[0007] 2. By subjecting the carbide tooth to high-frequency impacts at a set impact force, the performance of the tooth under corresponding working conditions is recorded. The number of impact cycles.

[0008] Specifically, a test method for impact fatigue of cemented carbide tooth tips includes the following steps: (1) Prepare cemented carbide sample and impact pair. The cemented carbide sample is a cutting tooth with a cone shape with parabolic flow lines. A groove corresponding to the parabolic flow line cone of the cemented carbide sample is machined in the center of the impact pair. The impact pair uses ductile iron material QT600-3. (2) Fix the cemented carbide sample with the clamp of the impact fatigue testing machine and fix it with screws and self-locking anti-loosening washers. The teeth of the cemented carbide sample face down and are aligned with the groove of the impact pair. (3) Adjust the magnitude of the impact force; the magnitude of the impact force is calculated by the contact area between the ballistic flow line of the tooth head and the groove of the impact pair and the rock compressive strength under simulated rock conditions (the impact force value can also be obtained through simulation software). ; F—impact force used in the test; S—Contact area between the tooth tip and the attack pair; R—Rock compressive strength; (4) Start the impact fatigue testing machine, set the control mode to load control, and the command function to sine wave. The testing machine will start to allow the carbide tooth to impact the impact pair with the set impact force at a high frequency until the carbide breaks. The equipment will then stop and the number of impact cycles will be recorded. (5) According to GB / T 24176-2009 Metallic Materials. Fatigue Testing. Data Statistical Scheme and Analysis Method, the number of samples in each test group should be ≥7. In order to achieve better results, 28 samples are required. After obtaining the complete test results, the impact fatigue life of the sample group is calculated in the following order. (6) Referring to the statistical estimation of fatigue life under given stress in the national standard 6, prepare fatigue life data, x=logN. For n samples, plot the data according to the order from smallest to largest. Assign a sequence number to each data point. The failure probability of the i-th level can be estimated as: ; (7) Plot the values ​​of (x=logN, y=Pi) on normal probability paper, and perform linear fitting of the curve through visual inspection; (8) Determine X using the curve (10) and X (90) The estimates of the mean μ and standard deviation σ are calculated as follows: ; (9) Look up the k value in the standard by the number of tests and the confidence level, and then calculate the estimated value of the lower limit of fatigue life using the following formula: ; (10) Through N=10 xThe estimated average impact fatigue life and the estimated lower limit of impact fatigue life for this set of samples were calculated.

[0009] Preferably, the shape of the cemented carbide sample mentioned in step (1) does not have fixed requirements; a standard shape can be fixed based on the shape of the product itself. The impact pair groove can correspond to the shape of the sample mentioned above.

[0010] In step (2), the self-locking anti-loosening washer adopts a combination of spring anti-loosening washer and double-layered self-locking anti-loosening washer, which is more secure.

[0011] The impact force calculation in particular (3) can also be replaced by finite element simulation software such as ANSYS, which is more accurate and reliable.

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention enables more accurate and scientific stress setting for corresponding working conditions, and better results in determining the performance of cemented carbide when impacting rocks. Furthermore, by referencing national standard fatigue research and analysis methods, the final fatigue data output is more accurate.

[0013] Specifically, 1. Calculate the stress on the carbide tooth under real working conditions to more accurately simulate the actual use of the tooth.

[0014] 2. Combining finite element simulation technology with dynamic testing of cemented carbide material properties allows the test samples to... The product is in a more accurate operating condition.

[0015] 3. Combining national standards for fatigue testing of metallic materials with testing of cemented carbide results in a final output... The data is more accurate and reliable. Attached Figure Description
