Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a casting solid solution tooling, in particular to a solid solution fastening mechanism for a pod U-shaped structural casting, and belongs to the technical field of casting auxiliary equipment. Background Art
[0002] A pod is a streamlined nacelle section that is equipped with certain airborne equipment and suspended under the fuselage or wing. The U-shaped aluminum alloy casting is the main component of the pod and is assembled in the middle position. It mainly protects, supports and fixes the internal components. The casting accuracy of the entire component directly affects the processing accuracy of the product, thereby affecting the performance, accuracy and life of the pod.
[0003] The common ends of the U-shaped aluminum alloy parts are connected, and the two arms extend downward or upward. The wall thickness of the two arms is only 4-5mm. After casting, it needs to be solution treated. Traditionally, multiple castings are stacked in a frame, and the frame is heated into a solution furnace to a high temperature single-phase zone and kept at a constant temperature, so that the excess phase is fully dissolved into the solid solution. After being taken out, it is quickly cooled in water to obtain a supersaturated solid solution to improve the toughness and plasticity of the alloy casting.
[0004] Because castings follow thermal expansion and contraction, and the dendrite structure of the casting will change when the temperature reaches the solubility phase line, the structural change will be affected by the density of the dendrites inside the casting. The structural change of the denser part will be small, and the smaller part will be large, resulting in deformation. Especially after the U-shaped aluminum alloy parts are solution treated, the dimensional accuracy of the casting is difficult to guarantee. In particular, the U-shaped thin-walled arms with a thickness of less than 5mm have a greater risk of deformation, and the direction of deformation cannot be predicted. Utility Model Content
