Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of manufacturing tooling for metal pressed parts, in particular to a tooling for solid solution heat treatment of large-size ultra-thin plates. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the development of various industries, various requirements for materials are also gradually increasing: in the aerospace industry, in addition to high requirements for performance indicators, various aircraft and their accessories are also required to be large in size and lightweight. In addition, the 3C electronic product market is developing rapidly, and the application volume of various ultra-thin electronic accessories has increased sharply, and the demand is huge. Therefore, large-size ultra-thin sheets have shown great market demand in various fields such as aerospace, 3C electronic products, optical devices, and automobiles, and their related indicators such as dimensional uniformity, flatness, and mechanical properties have received widespread attention.
[0003] However, large-sized ultra-thin sheets have many problems in the preparation process, such as poor flatness and substandard mechanical properties, which cannot meet the use requirements. In order to meet the requirements of performance indicators, ultra-thin sheets often need to be heat treated to improve performance. Traditional heat treatment requires heating the sheet at high temperature and keeping it at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, and then cooling it quickly (quenching) to obtain a supersaturated solid solution. However, due to problems such as too fast cooling rate and uneven cooling rate on the surface of the material, it is difficult for ultra-thin sheets to enter water during conventional water-cooled quenching, which will inevitably cause large internal stress inside the sheet, resulting in strong deformation of the sheet, especially ultra-thin sheets, during the heat treatment process, and problems such as distortion, warping, and wrinkling, and subsequent treatment cannot effectively improve the plate shape of large-sized ultra-thin sheets. In addition, traditional heat treatment is affected by other factors such as insulation temperature, insulation time, transfer time, cooling medium temperature, etc., and the mechanical properties of the material after heat treatment are unstable. If the cooling rate is too slow or the insulation temperature is too low, the mechanical properties of the sheet will drop sharply and cannot meet the use requirements.
[0004] At present, there are two main types of solution heat treatment methods commonly used for ultra-thin plates. One is to replace the cooling medium. The cooling methods include water cooling, oil cooling, air cooling, chemical reagent cooling, etc. Different media have different cooling rates, and different cooling methods can be adopted according to performance requirements and actual needs. However, cooling media other than water are generally expensive and difficult to preserve. There are also problems such as unstable solution effect, poor plate shape, and unstable mechanical properties, which cannot stably meet the product plate shape and performance indicators. Another solution heat treatment method is to use tooling for solution heat treatment. Most of the conventional heat treatment tools are for block materials. For large-sized ultra-thin plates, the transfer time is too long and the plate temperature drops rapidly, resulting in low plate temperature and poor mechanical properties during solution.
[0005] Therefore, the traditional solution heat treatment process is difficult to meet the plate shape and performance requirements of large-sized ultra-thin plates, and the plate shape control has received extensive attention. It is urgent to design a suitable large-sized ultra-thin plate solution heat treatment tooling to ensure the mechanical properties of the plate while controlling the plate shape, reduce the distortion, warping, wrinkles and other phenomena of the plate, and facilitate subsequent processing to meet application requirements.
