Forging die speed curve iteration optimization method based on hot working diagram
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal hot forging, in particular to a forging die speed curve iteration optimization method based on a hot working diagram.
Background
The hot working diagram reflects the distribution and evolution rules of the energy dissipation coefficient and the instability coefficient of the metal under different deformation temperatures, strain rates and strains, and can be generally divided into a dynamic recrystallization region, an incomplete dynamic recrystallization region, a deformation instability region and the like according to the difference of the microstructure evolution rule and the deformation mechanism, so that when forging process parameters are set, whether the hot forging process parameters are reasonable or not is judged according to the region where the hot working parameters fall. In the hot forging, the strain rate of the forge piece in the deformation process can be controlled by selecting a reasonable forging die speed curve, so that the region where hot working parameters fall is changed, and the effect of optimizing the microstructure of the forge piece is achieved.
At present, there are patents that propose the optimization of process parameters by applying a hot working drawing to hot deformation.
The Chinese patent of invention (application number: 201510897211.4) discloses a method for determining hot extrusion process parameters of nickel-base superalloy, and the hot extrusion process of powder nickel-base superalloy is determined through hot compression experiments and finite element simulation.
The Chinese patent of invention (application number: 201511025177.8) discloses a method for making a hot working process of a high-temperature alloy GH984G18, which can avoid the defects of coarse crystals, mixed crystals, cracks and the like after hot working.
The Chinese invention patent (application number: 201710190026.0) discloses a cylindrical piece hot-spinning/performance integrated control method based on a hot-working diagram, and optimizes the forming temperature and the strain rate in the cylindrical piece hot-spinning.
The Chinese invention patent (application number: 201711265241.9) discloses a method for optimizing the hot working process of aluminum alloy by a hot working diagram, so as to improve the processing performance of the aluminum alloy in hot working.
The Chinese invention patent (application number: 201810360313.6) discloses a method for determining the evolution mechanism and the hot working performance of the hot deformation structure of C-Mn-Al high-strength steel, thereby guiding the formulation of the hot working process of the high-strength steel.
Chinese invention patent (application number: 201810407510.9) discloses a 300M steel forging process parameter optimization method based on instability analysis, wherein grain size is introduced into a hot working drawing, and the optimal process parameters of 300M steel forging are determined.
The methods all have the common point that the deformation speed or the strain rate is optimized as a fixed value, and the optimal deformation speed is input into a forging press for forging. However, in the hot forging of metals, the speed or strain rate of different parts of the forging is not a constant value, but a curve which changes with time or displacement and changes with time. Moreover, more and more deformation processes are carried out on forging equipment with the function of setting a complex speed curve, and the constant forging speed is not beneficial to fully exerting the forming performance of the forging. According to a method for automatically drawing a hot working drawing of a material disclosed in the chinese invention patent (application No. 200610134755.6), the hot working drawing and the optimal hot working parameters are significantly changed with the increase of time or displacement.
Therefore, by setting the optimized forging die speed curve, the forming performance of the forging piece can be further improved. In metal hot forging, the characteristic that the strain rate changes constantly needs to be considered, an optimal forging die speed curve is made according to a hot working diagram of hot metal, the hot working performance of materials is improved, and an optimal forging piece microstructure is obtained. However, in the aspect of establishing an optimal forging die speed curve according to a metal hot working diagram, domestic and foreign research is still blank, which greatly limits further improvement of material processing performance in a hot forging process and hinders progress of the forging production technology in China.

Therefore, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a forging die speed curve iteration optimization method based on a hot working diagram comprises a stress-strain curve obtained through a hot compression experiment and a generated hot working diagram, and is characterized by comprising the following specific steps:
(1) importing an analysis model in finite element software and setting boundary conditions;
(2) calling a finite element program integrating the forging die speed curve optimization function to carry out finite element simulation;
(3) obtaining an optimized forging die speed curve;
wherein, the forging die speed curve optimization function in the step (2) needs to be realized by secondary development of a finite element program, and the specific flow is as follows:
firstly, setting the initial temperature T of the forge piece0Initial strain0Starting to enter an iterative loop;
at the moment t, equally dividing the speed range allowed by the press or equally dividing the logarithm into 2-10 parts, respectively calculating the dissipation coefficient and the instability coefficient of the forge piece at different pressing speeds, and calculating the average dissipation coefficient of the forge piece;
then, the pressing speed V with the average dissipation coefficient of 35-45% and no instability point is selectedtAs the optimum speed;
finally, V is storedtAnd will VtPerforming simulation calculation as the pressing speed of the next time step;
and circulating the steps until the forging die finishes the whole stroke, and outputting a forging die speed curve through a finite element program interface.
Preferably, the range of speeds allowed by the press is divided equally into 10 parts, or after taking the number of pairs.
Preferably, the depression speed with the average dissipation factor closest to 40% is selected as the optimal depression speed at time t.
Preferably, the process of optimizing the speed profile is applied to extrusion or heading processes as well as forging die processes.
Has the advantages that: compared with the conventional method, the forging die speed curve optimization method overcomes the defect that the current forging die speed curve can not be determined according to a hot working diagram; compared with other methods, the method is more efficient and accurate, and the forging die speed curve can be automatically obtained through optimization according to the hot working diagram. The method can better improve the forming performance of the material and improve the microstructure of the forging.
In the method, the speed range allowed by the press is divided into 10 parts by equal parts (or divided into equal parts after logarithm taking), so that the optimization speed can be improved while the calculation accuracy is ensured.
In the method, the average dissipation coefficient is selected to be 35-45% because for general metals, 35-45% is a dynamic recrystallization region, and the structure is ideal; and the pressing speed closest to 40% is selected as the optimal pressing speed, so that not only can the thermal processing parameters be ensured to fall in the dynamic recrystallization region, but also the optimal microstructure can be obtained.
