Local loading forming method for single-action press and combined die
Technical Field
The invention relates to a hot working forging forming process in the field of metal forming, in particular to a forming method and a combined die for realizing a local loading process on a single-action press, and further realizing the forming and manufacturing of a component with an integral complex shape under the condition of labor-saving loading.
Background
Aerospace components increasingly require large-scale integration, thin walls, light weight, complexity and increasingly strict performance requirements. The adoption of high-performance light alloy materials (such as titanium alloy) and light-weight structures (such as thin-wall, integral and ribbed structures) is an effective way for improving the performance and reliability of parts and realizing the light weight of equipment. However, the light high-strength material has large deformation resistance, poor plasticity and narrow processing window, belongs to a material difficult to deform, has a large integral and thin-wall structure with combined extreme sizes, has a complex shape, belongs to a structure difficult to form, and adopts the traditional integral forming method, so that the required forming load is large, and various defects are easy to occur in the forming process. Isothermal local loading is a flexible and labor-saving forming mode, provides a new feasible way for manufacturing the components, and can effectively meet the requirements of labor-saving and accurate plastic forming of large-scale complex components. In the combined lower die connecting method for the single-action press, fastening pieces are mostly used for fixed connection, and the method can cause gaps between combined dies and even separation of the combined dies during local loading, thereby causing defects of formed components. If the lock catch related by the method is adopted to fixedly connect the combined lower die, the combined lower die is restrained and fixed by the lock catch in the local loading and forming process, so that the forming problem caused by gaps among the block dies is effectively avoided, and the assembling and the disassembling are easy in the actual production.

The invention aims to realize labor-saving and accurate forming of a large complex integral component and reduce the forming load of the component by effectively connecting the split lower dies in the combined die and actively controlling the deformation area of local loading forming. Under the condition of proper control, not only can the macroscopic defect which possibly appears in the deformation process be avoided, but also the tissue form of the material can be regulated and controlled, and the forming quality and the service performance of the component are improved.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
a local loading forming method for a single-action press is characterized by comprising the following steps: firstly, applying load to an area corresponding to a lower die I which is heightened by a cushion block in a combined lower die; secondly, removing the cushion block, and moving the lower die I downwards so that the upper surface of the lower die I and the upper surface of the lower die II are in the same horizontal position; finally, the load is applied to the area corresponding to the lower die II.
Further, the local loading forming method for the single-action press is characterized by comprising the following more specific steps:
step one, acquiring a parting line between a lower die I and a lower die II according to the structural size and parameters of a target component.
And step two, designing the partitioning lower die, namely the lower die I and the lower die II, designing the appearance of the partitioning lower die according to the size and parameters of a target structural member, calculating the relevant size, and designing a groove on the side wall of the partitioning lower die.

And step four, designing the shape of the blank and calculating related size parameters according to the volume equality principle.
And step five, assembling the partitioned lower die, the cushion block and the lock catch, wherein the cushion block is padded below the lower die I, so that the upper surface of the lower die I is higher than the upper surface of the lower die II, and the lower die I is installed on a workbench of a press.
And step six, heating the blank to a specific temperature, placing the blank into a partitioned lower die cavity, and then placing an upper die on the integral combined lower die.
And step seven, starting the press after setting the loading speed, and carrying out a first loading step of local loading forming.
And step eight, after the first loading step is completed, removing the cushion block, and enabling the upper surface of the lower die I and the upper surface of the lower die II to be at the same horizontal position.
And step nine, performing a second loading step of local loading forming.
Step ten, after the second loading step of the local loading forming is finished, taking out the blank and carrying out heat treatment.
A local loading assembling die for single action press is characterized in that: the die comprises a lower die I, a lower die II, an upper die, a cushion block and a lock catch; the lower die I and the lower die II are fixedly connected by a lock catch; the cushion block is flat and is placed on the lower surface of the lower die I.

The function of the device is to connect the lower die I and the lower die II into a whole to prevent the two partitioned lower dies from being separated from each other in the local loading forming process.
Further, in the local loading combined die for the single-action press, the size of the upper surface of the cushion block is the same as that of the lower surface of the lower die I. The loading device is placed on the lower surface of the lower die I and is used for heightening the lower die I, so that a blank area corresponding to the upper surface of the lower die I is loaded first, and a first loading step is completed.
The basic working principle of the local loading forming method and the combined die is as follows: firstly, placing the cushion block on the lower surface of the lower die I, assembling and installing the die on the table top of a press machine, secondly, placing the heated original blank in a die cavity of a combined die, and finally, carrying out local loading forming. The first loading step is to load the local area of the blank on the projection surface of the lower die I, remove the cushion block after the loading is finished, and move the lower die I downwards to enable the upper surface of the lower die I and the upper surface of the lower die II to be in the same horizontal plane; and a second loading step is carried out, the local area of the blank on the projection surface of the lower die II is loaded, and finally, an ideal component is formed through the accumulative deformation of different areas of the blank.
The difference between the local loading combined die and the integral loading die for the single-action press is as follows: the cushion block is lifted up from the lower die I, so that the blank on the upper surface of the lower die I is loaded and formed firstly, and the load is applied to only a local area of the blank, thereby reducing the overall forming load of the press; the lower die is designed to be partitioned and fixedly connected by adopting the lock catch, so that the lower die of the partitioning die is prevented from being separated from each other in the local loading and forming process.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: 1. the step-by-step loading is realized, the load is only applied to the local area of the blank, and the deformation area of the blank is actively regulated and controlled, so that the overall forming load of the single-action press is reduced, and the forming capability of press equipment in industrial production can be effectively improved. 2. The lock catch connecting mode can replace the traditional fastener connecting mode, effectively realizes the connection of the block dies in the local loading area, prevents the block dies from being separated from each other in the local loading forming process, and therefore the local loading forming process is accurately controlled.
