Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tungsten alloy processing technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a square tungsten-zirconium alloy. Background Technology
[0002] Tungsten-zirconium alloys, due to their high density, high strength, and high reactivity, can be used to replace traditional inert materials for fragmentation in warheads, achieving a dual destructive effect combining kinetic and chemical energy penetration, significantly enhancing the destructive power of traditional warheads. However, tungsten-zirconium alloys are typical difficult-to-machine materials, with high hardness (HRC>50) and high brittleness. Traditional machining methods (such as milling and turning) have the following inherent drawbacks: extremely low machining efficiency, severe tool wear, high production costs, and a tendency to produce machining defects such as chipping and microcracks during processing, resulting in low yield rates. While wire electrical discharge machining (EDM) can machine irregularly shaped products and avoid chipping during processing, it also suffers from low machining efficiency, and traditional machining methods are costly.
[0003] Multi-wire cutting (MFD) is a cutting process that uses the high-speed reciprocating motion of a metal wire (or a metal wire coated with diamond powder) combined with the cutting properties of the abrasive (or the diamond wire itself) to process brittle materials such as silicon, sapphire, and magnetic materials. Before MFD processing, the workpiece is fixed on the platform of the MFD equipment, and a single cut divides the material into hundreds or even thousands of thin slices. However, because MFD operates in only one direction, cutting square products requires removing the workpiece for secondary clamping, necessitating a total of three processes: fixing, cutting, and disassembling. The workpiece is prone to shifting during these processes, leading to non-perpendicularity of the square products and a low yield.
[0004] Therefore, providing a method for preparing square tungsten-zirconium alloy products that can achieve high efficiency, low cost, and high quality has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0019] This invention involves grinding and leveling a tungsten-zirconium alloy billet, fixing it on a multi-wire cutting machine platform for one-time cutting, and then grinding it to obtain sheet-like tungsten-zirconium alloy.

[0027] After obtaining the sheet-like tungsten-zirconium alloy, the present invention bonds and stacks the sheet-like tungsten-zirconium alloy and fixes it on the upper mold of a specific tooling. Then, the lower mold of the specific tooling is fixed on a multi-wire cutting platform. Next, the upper mold of the specific tooling is snapped onto the lower mold. Finally, a second cutting is performed to obtain a strip-like tungsten-zirconium alloy connected to the specific tooling.
[0028] In this invention, the preferred method for bonding the sheet-like tungsten-zirconium alloy is to apply adhesive to both sides of the sheet-like tungsten-zirconium alloy and then bond them together.

By setting the structure, position, and size of the indexing conical hole in the upper mold, this invention can ensure that the position of the protrusion structure of the indexing conical hole remains the same after the upper mold is rotated by 90°, 180°, 270°, or 360°.
[0033] In this invention, a tapered pin is provided in the lower mold.

Figure 1 As shown; a schematic diagram of the lower mold structure of a specific tooling is shown below. Figure 2 As shown. By Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen, by setting an indexing cone hole in the upper die of a specific tooling and a cone pin in the lower die, and strictly limiting the position of the indexing cone hole and the cone pin, the present invention can ensure that after the upper or lower die is rotated by multiples of 90°, the upper die and the lower die can still fit together well to form a specific tooling. This ensures that after the second cutting, only the specific tooling needs to be separated, and then the upper die is selected to be refitted after 90°, so that a third cutting can be performed without disassembly.

This invention, by controlling the process parameters during secondary cutting, can ensure that the diamond wire does not break during the secondary cutting process, while also ensuring high precision of the cut product.
[0036] After obtaining a strip-shaped tungsten-zirconium alloy connected to a specific tooling, the present invention rotates the strip-shaped tungsten-zirconium alloy connected to the specific tooling by 90° and cuts it three times, and then performs vibration polishing to obtain a square tungsten-zirconium alloy.
[0037] In this invention, the preferred method of rotating 90° is to separate the upper and lower dies of the specific tooling, then rotate the upper die 90° and attach it to the lower die.
