Benefits of technology

[0065] 1. This invention proposes a tail fin-type cathode working tooth. A tail fin-type working tooth is designed at the tail end of the conventional rifling electrolytic machining cathode working tooth. Because the sharp corner of the tail fin-type working tooth has a small radius of curvature, it can generate an electric field concentration effect in this local area. According to electromagnetic field theory, the electric field strength on the conductor surface is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature, and the electric field strength at the sharp corner is significantly increased. When the tail fin-type working tooth passes through the rifling radius (R-angle) region, the local current density increases sharply, resulting in high-speed dissolution of the residual material at the root. This profile structure allows for secondary processing of the already formed rifling radius (R-angle) region after the rifling body section has been formed, further reducing the R-angle and thus improving the forming accuracy of the deep rifling radius (R-angle), achieving the desired rifling dimensional design accuracy.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electrolytic machining technology, specifically relating to a method for electrolytic machining of cathode working teeth and profile design for deep rifling of large-caliber artillery. Background Technology

[0002] In modern warfare, artillery barrels possess core functions integrating precision strikes, fire suppression, system integration, and strategic deterrence, far exceeding any previous era. As a key component for achieving high-speed, stable projectile rotation, the rifling precision directly impacts artillery firing accuracy, significantly affecting barrel erosion, wear resistance, and lifespan. To meet the high-precision, high-stability, and long-life requirements of next-generation artillery barrels under extreme service conditions, ultra-high-strength and high-toughness gun steel has become the preferred material for large-caliber artillery barrels. However, mechanical broaching of new ultra-high-strength and high-toughness gun steel suffers from low processing efficiency, severe tool wear, and unsatisfactory barrel bore surface quality, making it difficult to meet the urgent needs of new large-caliber weapon systems.

[0003] Electrolytic machining, as an advanced special machining technology based on electrochemical anodic dissolution, has advantages such as zero tool cathode wear, high processing efficiency, no burrs, good surface quality, and low batch processing cost. It has important military application value and broad market application prospects in fields such as weaponry, oil drilling and extraction, and aerospace.

[0004] The structure of a conventional rifling electrolytic machining cathode includes a cathode body, a front guide, a liquid supply hole, an insulating sleeve, working teeth, and a rear guide. The working teeth are typically cylindrical structures with gradually changing dimensions, and their end faces are flat. Patent publication number "CN116673553B" discloses a "Multi-tooth Segmented Electrolytic Machining Cathode and Tooling for Large-caliber Artillery Barrel Rifling," providing a multi-tooth segmented cathode working tooth structure. Different segments of the working teeth have different profile parameters and are fixed in series via wedge keyways and wedge keys. Because the segmented structure relies solely on wedge keys for connection, it lacks measures to ensure the continuity of the profile between segments, leading to axial misalignment or radial steps between adjacent segments of the working teeth, resulting in a decrease in rifling machining accuracy. Patent publication number "CN108672855B" discloses a "Replaceable Working Teeth Large-caliber Complex Helical Electrolytic Machining Cathode," whose working teeth are three-sided feed cone structures, evenly distributed circumferentially, and mounted on the cathode body for complete replacement. Because the replaceable structure lacks self-positioning or error-proofing design, the alignment of the new tooth with the front and rear guides after replacing the working tooth depends on assembly precision, which can easily lead to misalignment and affect machining quality. Patent publication number "CN108746900B" discloses a "High-Efficiency Precision Electrolytic Machining Cathode for Titanium Alloy Barrel Rifling," which provides an integral conical working tooth with an increasing diameter from front to back, and tooth side inclination angles α=10°~15° on both sides forming a three-sided feed structure; the front end of the working tooth has an inverted conical step that cooperates with the front guide wedge-shaped positioning ring. Since this design is only for titanium alloys, its applicability to other materials such as gun steel and high-temperature alloys has not been verified, resulting in unclear material versatility and limiting the widespread application of the cathode.

[0005] Meanwhile, existing technologies also have the following problems in the design of the cathode structure. Patent publication number "CN116372290B" discloses a "Method for Designing the Cathode Profile of the Stator Electrolytic Machining of All-Metal Oil Screw Drill Tool," which adopts... "The spline inner contour integration method is used to design the stator cathode profile of an all-metal oil screw drill bit. However, this method only fits the geometric gap and curvature compliance, without considering the coupling effects of multiple physical fields such as electric field, flow field, and temperature field in electrolytic machining. This results in a disconnect between the gap design and the actual electrochemical dissolution process. Patent publication number CN121118343A discloses a method for designing a precision electrolytic machining cathode under multi-field coupling. This method uses multi-physics co-simulation to predict changes in machining gap and optimize the cathode design. However, the two-dimensional multi-physics simulation model along the flow direction cannot fully reflect the complex changes in electrolyte flow, bubble distribution, and temperature gradient in three-dimensional space, resulting in oversimplification and insufficient simulation accuracy. Patent publication number CN117680782B..." The document "A Precision Electrolytic Machining Cathode Profile Design Optimization Method for Aero-engine Blades" discloses a method that uses multi-physics coupled simulation to solve for the current density distribution. The method uses the average and variance of the current density around the blade profile as the objective function and employs a differential evolution algorithm to optimize the offset of the control points on the cathode profile curve. However, the differential evolution algorithm suffers from problems such as high iteration count and computational cost when the number of control points is large, and the lack of geometric continuity constraints on the cathode profile changes during optimization, leading to slow convergence and the potential for discontinuous profile structures.

[0006] In summary, existing electrolytic machining cathode profile design methods fail to adequately consider the concentrated effect of the electric field at the tooth edge and the dynamic evolution characteristics of the flow field during machining. This results in a significant structural mismatch between the cathode profile and the actual physical field, leading to low rifling forming accuracy. Furthermore, during the electrolytic machining of deep rifling in large-caliber artillery, the small machining gap, complex flow field in the machining area, and significant coupling effects of multiple physical fields such as electric field, flow field, and temperature field make it difficult to guarantee the forming accuracy of deep rifling.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new type of cathode working tooth and a precise profile design method to ensure the forming accuracy of deep rifling in the electrolytic machining process of large-caliber artillery. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies in effectively improving the forming accuracy of large-caliber deep rifling by proposing a method for designing the cathode working teeth and profile of deep rifling in large-caliber artillery through electrolytic machining.

[0010] Furthermore, the above-mentioned method for designing the cathode working tooth profile of electrolytic machining for deep rifling in large-caliber artillery includes the following steps:

[0037] Step 6.2: Based on the three-dimensional cathode profile model generated in Step 1, an electrolyte fluid domain is generated on the upper surface of the cathode using the equal gap theory. The upper surface of the fluid domain represents the anode boundary.

[0038] Step 6.3: Set the boundary conditions and relevant simulation parameters for the electric-current-thermal physical field:

[0039] Electrolyte conductivity in electric field model Set to:

[0041] The boundary conditions include the applied operating voltage at the anode. The cathode is grounded, and the remaining boundaries are set to insulation; the flow field model adopts a three-phase gas-liquid-solid turbulent flow model.

[0049] Step 6.5: Set up the research steps. Add a steady-state node and an associated sensitivity analysis node under the research steps. Under the associated sensitivity analysis node, set the design variables in Step 6.1 as control variables and set initial values ​​and boundary constraints. Solve separately. The steady-state node extracts the anode surface current density, and the associated sensitivity analysis node extracts the anode surface associated field gradient.

[0050] Furthermore, the specific steps in step seven above are as follows:

Choose the initial step size Convergence tolerance Maximum number of iterations Line search for contraction factor Maximum number of iterations for linear search minimum step size , prevent zero small amount ;

[0052] Step 7.2: Execute step six to obtain the gradient under the current design variables. A backtracking search is used to determine a suitable step size, thus determining the optimal step size. ;

[0053] Step 7.3: Update design variables and project them onto the boundary:

[0054] First, calculate the trial point, determined by the following formula:

[0055]

[0056] Then, boundary projection is performed on each component, and its boundary constraints are determined by the following equation:

[0057]

[0058] Step 7.4: Calculate the relative change of the objective function, determined using the following formula:

[0059]

[0060] in, In the new design variables If the value obtained in step six is ​​not satisfied by any of the following convergence conditions, then continue executing step six; otherwise, if any of the following conditions are satisfied, then stop iterating:

[0061]

[0062]

[0063] Obtain the optimized design variables.

[0064] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0065] 1. This invention proposes a tail fin-type cathode working tooth. A tail fin-type working tooth is designed at the tail end of the conventional rifling electrolytic machining cathode working tooth. Because the sharp corner of the tail fin-type working tooth has a small radius of curvature, it can generate an electric field concentration effect in this local area. According to electromagnetic field theory, the electric field strength on the conductor surface is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature, and the electric field strength at the sharp corner is significantly increased. When the tail fin-type working tooth passes through the rifling radius (R-angle) region, the local current density increases sharply, resulting in high-speed dissolution of the residual material at the root. This profile structure allows for secondary processing of the already formed rifling radius (R-angle) region after the rifling body section has been formed, further reducing the R-angle and thus improving the forming accuracy of the deep rifling radius (R-angle), achieving the desired rifling dimensional design accuracy.

[0066] 2. This invention proposes a design method for the working tooth profile of the cathode in electrolytic machining of deep rifling in large-caliber artillery. This method improves the design accuracy of cathodes in electrolytic machining of large-caliber barrel rifling, shortens the design cycle of tail fin cathode profiles, and reduces development costs. This method constructs an electro-current-thermal multiphysics coupled model through strong coupling solution, simulating the dynamic distribution of current density, electrolyte flow rate, bubble volume fraction, solid product concentration, and temperature within the machining gap. It also introduces nonlinear corrections for conductivity based on bubble rate, solid product concentration, and temperature, thus more realistically reflecting the dynamic changes in gap conductivity during electrolytic machining. This improves the consistency between the current density distribution on the anode surface and the actual machining conditions, providing a more reliable physical basis for cathode design. Based on this, the precise gradient of the objective function with respect to design variables is obtained based on the current density distribution on the anode surface. Iterative optimization of cathode geometric parameters effectively reduces the number of iterations, significantly shortening the cathode design cycle while ensuring design accuracy and reducing development costs.

[0085] Step 3: First, establish a multi-physics coupled mathematical model, including the electric field control equation, the flow field control equation, and the temperature field control equation.
