Background technology
Ti-Ni alloy is a kind of novel multifunctional material, has peculiar shape memory, phase transformation super-elasticity and high damping characteristic, simultaneously, the intensity height, corrosion-proof wear is good, also has good biocompatibility.Ti-Ni alloy can be used as engineering material, smart material, medical material, has wide range of applications, and it is used and has spreaded all over every field such as electronics, machinery, aviation, the energy, transportation, building, household electrical appliances, health care and small stores.But Ti-Ni alloy belongs to inter-metallic compound material, and property is crisp and hard, the materials processing difficulty, and the performance of material alters a great deal because of the composition fine difference, causes the use amount of titanium nickel alloy material to be restricted.In order to guarantee the homogeneity of ingredients of Ti-Ni alloy ingot, the ingot shape of general Ti-Ni alloy ingot is all less.The hammer cogging technology is normally adopted in the cogging of small-sized Ti-Ni alloy ingot, less employing open-train mill rolling-cogging technology.These two kinds of cogging methods, material cogging lumber recovery is low, and cogging Disabled defect rate is up to about 20%.And during general flat-die forging, pass reduction is low, and efficient is low, causes the integrated cost height, involves great expense.
A kind of hot rolling cogging process of the present invention, realization is directly rolling to titanium nickel ingot casting, and the cracking problem of ingot blank when having avoided cogging has improved production efficiency and has manufactured a finished product rate.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is, provide a kind of with Ti-Ni alloy ingot, directly hot rolling cogging is processed as the production method of efficient, the high finished product rate of bar.
Design of the present invention is, the force-bearing situation of titanium nickel ingot casting when improving cogging is avoided the impulsive force of hammer cogging, prevents to shear cracking; Control cogging processing speed prevents thermal stress-cracking; Increase split rolling method strength, improve the cogging working (machining) efficiency.The modulus of shearing of Ti-Ni alloy low (austenite 23Gpa, martensite 8Gpa), property is crisp and hard, and when flat-die forging, the deformed area of ingot casting is subjected to the bi-directional symmetrical compression of forging hammer up and down, and other direction is in does not have constraint tensile stress state.When forging force was big, titanium nickel ingot casting was easy to cause cruciate flower type cracking because of the shearing force of miter angle; When forging force was too small, titanium nickel ingot casting was difficult to forging molding greatly because of resistance of deformation.Therefore, during the flat-die forging of titanium nickel ingot casting, forging force is difficult to hold on the one hand, and the forging yield rate is low; The distortion of forging processing passage is little on the other hand, efficient is low.When adopting the open-train mill rolling-cogging, improved the stressed uniformity of ingot casting, still, the rolling strength of open-train mill is low, and when the ingot rolling heating-up temperature was hanged down, blank hardness was big, and the rolling deformation drag is big; When rolling heating-up temperature is high, be easy to rolling deformation, yet with respect to flat-die forging, the mill speed of milling train is very fast, distortion heat is big, and ingot casting center and appearance temperature difference are very big, and ingot casting is easy to cracking because of thermal stress.
A kind of hot rolling cogging process of Ti-Ni alloy ingot of the present invention is that graft application is in the cogging of Ti-Ni alloy ingot a kind of stepping rolling technique of suitable refractory metal material processing.This cogging method has been avoided the problem of above-mentioned forging and rolling-cogging, has concentrated and has forged and rolling advantage.
The specific embodiment
Adopt vacuum induction melting furnace, the Ti-Ni alloy ingot that founding is small-sized, ingot casting become the light ingot after lathe strips off the skin, and the light ingot after the heat treatment, adopts the direct split rolling method of stepping milling train to become bar in electric furnace.
In the stepping operation of rolling, the distortion of ingot casting is to be realized by the motion that is contained in the roll that has certain pass in the head.Rolling is that head and roll are moved reciprocatingly simultaneously by the drive of crank connecting link system respectively.When head moved (, idle stroke identical with the ingot blank bearing of trend) backward with roll, the pass that is made of roll changed from small to big, and roll leaves ingot blank, and when continuing to move to the back limit, the pass size opens up into maximum, and this moment, ingot blank began to send to and rotate.When head and roll travel forward (rolling stroke), the pass size from large to small, roll begins to beat simultaneously ingot blank, then along certain profile roll-in ingot blank, thereby realized the forging rolling distortion of ingot casting, and made one section of ingot blank formation and roll pass be out of shape awl accordingly; During limit, its pass size has become product size before head and roll move to, and just finished the whole rolling cycle this moment.
In stepping is rolling, the whole deformation process of ingot casting is to realize by long deformed area, and deformed region bears stronger compression, it circumferentially affords the symmetry rolling deformation force, it vertically affords continuity gradient rolling deformation force, so it can obtain bigger passage distortion, its lengthening coefficient reaches 4~6 (ε=75~84%) usually, reaches as high as (ε>90%) more than 10.Ingot blank is except having preferably stress condition, its distortion still is interrupted, therefore, and in the interval (idle stroke) of distortion, the tissue of deformed region can obtain certain answer and softening, so this mode of texturing is well suited for the plastic working of difficult-to-deformation material.
