Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of temperature and pressure aging treatment technology for powder material molded parts, and more specifically, to an ultrasonic-assisted temperature and pressure aging treatment device for powder material molded parts. Background Technology

[0002] By utilizing the physicochemical and acoustic softening effects of ultrasound, as well as the principle of treating internal damage in powder material molded parts through thermo-pressure aging, ultrasound promotes creep movement in powder material molded parts during thermo-pressure aging, reduces the resistance to plastic deformation of the material, and promotes micro-displacement of internal crystal particles in the powder material molded parts. This improves the healing effect of defects such as pores and cracks in the material, thereby obtaining powder material molded parts with better physical properties and higher safety and reliability.

[0003] While performing thermo-pressure aging on powder material molded parts, ultrasonic waves are used to soften the powder material molded parts, enhancing the fluidity of the internal material and promoting creep. Moreover, ultrasonic waves in liquids induce ultrasonic cavitation, and the energy generated by the cavitation effect can promote the creep effect of the powder material molded parts, thereby further healing the fine pores and cracks inside the loaded powder material molded parts that cannot be healed by thermo-pressure aging alone.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The thermo-pressure aging treatment technology has been successfully applied to the repair of internal damage in powder material molded parts. The thermo-pressure aging treatment has a good effect on the healing of internal damage in powder material molded parts, and can effectively heal the fine cracks and pores inside the powder material molded parts.

[0026] In related technologies, traditional thermo-pressure aging treatment has varying healing effects on damage of different sizes. For large pores within the material, its healing effect is not very good.

[0027] In view of this, this application creatively proposes an ultrasonic-assisted thermo-pressure aging treatment device for powder material molding parts, which aims to improve the healing effect of defects such as internal pores and cracks in the material.

The upper end cap sealing ring 4 is disposed between the upper end cap 3 and the cavity 5. The ultrasonic transducer sealing ring 6 is fixed in a groove in the milled surface of the outer wall of the cavity 5. The lower end cap sealing ring 8 is disposed between the cavity 5 and the lower end cap 9.

[0030] Temperature controller 2, the flange of which is connected to the upper end cap 3;

[0031] The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer 7 is connected to the milled plane on the outer wall of the cavity 5 at the flange position.

[0032] In this embodiment, the thermo-pressure loading cavity 1 includes an upper end cap 3, an upper end cap sealing ring 4, a cavity 5, an ultrasonic transducer sealing ring 6, a lower end cap sealing ring 8, and a lower end cap 9. A temperature controller 2 is mounted on the upper end cap 3. The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer 7 is mounted on the milled surface of the outer wall of the cavity 5.

The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers 7 convert the ultrasonic frequency electrical oscillation signal input by the ultrasonic power supply into a mechanical vibration signal of the same frequency and amplify the amplitude to soften the powder material molded part, enhance the fluidity of the material inside the powder material molded part, and promote the creep of the powder material molded part. Moreover, the ultrasonic waves in the liquid will induce the ultrasonic cavitation effect. The energy generated by the cavitation effect can promote the creep effect of the powder material molded part, thereby more effectively healing the fine pores and cracks inside the loaded powder material molded part.

[0033] The specific working process is as follows: the positive and negative electrode wires of the piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the ultrasonic power supply. The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers are connected in parallel. Then, the upper end cap 3, cavity 5, lower end cap 9 and other parts are assembled. The specimen is placed in the center of the bottom of the thermo-pressure loading cavity 1. The piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer 7 converts the ultrasonic frequency electrical oscillation signal input by the ultrasonic power supply into an ultrasonic frequency mechanical vibration signal. After the amplitude is amplified by the output rod 21, the ultrasonic waves are transmitted to the liquid in the cavity 5. The ultrasonic waves soften the powder material molded part and enhance the fluidity of the material inside the powder material molded part to promote the creep of the powder material molded part. Moreover, the ultrasonic waves will induce ultrasonic cavitation effect in the liquid. The energy generated by the cavitation effect can promote the creep effect of the powder material molded part, thereby more effectively healing the fine pores and cracks inside the loaded powder material molded part.
