Description

Ultrasonic wave and pulse current mixed auxiliary wedge-shaped cavity profile rolling line and rolling process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of groove profile rolling, in particular to an ultrasonic and pulse current mixed auxiliary wedge-shaped cavity profile rolling line and a rolling process.
Background
The selectable preparation processes of the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity section made of the metal material mainly comprise a cold/warm/hot extrusion forming process, a cold/warm/hot drawing forming process, a milling process and a wire cut electrical discharge machining process. Common metal material thin neck wedge cavity section bars are mainly prepared from metal materials with low yield strength and low deformation resistance, such as aluminum alloy, copper alloy and low-carbon steel. The thin neck wedge-shaped cavity section is mainly prepared by adopting a cold/warm/hot extrusion forming process or a cold/warm/hot drawing forming process. However, if the metal material thin neck wedge-shaped cavity with higher yield strength, deformation resistance and hardness and lower forming strain limit is prepared, the defects that the die necking part is worn quickly to cause high cost and the transition fillet radius of the finished section is generally larger exist. For metal thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity profiles with higher yield strength and hardness and lower forming strain limit, such as medium/high carbon steel thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity profiles, the milling process and the wire electrical discharge machining process can be selected for machining. However, the common disadvantage of these two processes is that the fiber flow lines of the metal blank are cut off, weakening the overall strength of the formed profile. In addition, in the milling process, the diameter of the milling cutter bar must be smaller than the width of the short side opening of the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity, and the thin cutter bar reduces the overall rigidity of the cutter in the milling process, so that the processing speed and the stability of the processing process are reduced, and the processing precision is reduced. Moreover, for the section bar with the narrow neck part of the narrow-neck wedge-shaped cavity body with the excessively small position width and height, the section bar can hardly be processed by a milling process. The disadvantage of wire cut electrical discharge machining is that the total length of the profile is limited by the height of the machining equipment, resulting in a limitation of the total length of the profile. In addition, because the formed surface is subjected to electrochemical corrosion to form a surface oxide layer, the surface is rough and loose, and subsequent grinding and polishing treatment is required to reduce the surface roughness so as to improve the size and shape precision. Given the complex geometry of the narrow necked wedge cavity, this process significantly increases the difficulty of improving surface quality. Compared with the first three processes, the linear cutting processing speed is the slowest, and the cost-effectiveness ratio is the lowest. In the process of processing the metal thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity profile with higher yield strength and hardness and lower forming limit, the process has the advantages of low yield, over-quick abrasion of production tools/dies and serious waste of raw materials and energy. Therefore, how to prepare the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity profile from the medium/high carbon steel strip with high yield strength and hardness by high processing efficiency on the premise of ensuring the dimensional accuracy, geometric accuracy and surface roughness of the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity profile becomes a difficult problem in the field of plastic processing.
The application of pulse current in the plastic forming process of metal materials can cause the metal to have an electro-plastic effect, a skin effect, and a repairing fusion and crack arrest effect on micro holes and micro cracks. This can reduce the deformation resistance of the metal material in the forming process, and improve the forming limit, thereby improving the formability and the machinability of the metal blank. The advantages enable the pulse current to be widely used in the field of metal rolling and to be developed rapidly. However, if pulse current is directly applied to the strip through the roller, the current density of the surface layer of the roller is obviously higher than that of other parts due to the skin effect of the current, which causes the temperature of the surface layer of the metal roller to be obviously increased, further causes the metal of the surface layer of the roller to be softened and oxidized, reduces the surface strength, hardness, durability, wear resistance and service life of the roller, reduces the processing efficiency of the roller and the like. The frequency of replacing and repairing the roller is increased, so that the production cost is increased, the construction period is delayed, and the efficiency-cost ratio of roller processing is reduced finally. How to further weaken the adverse effect brought by the thermal effect generated by the conduction pulse current, but the forming difficulty can be effectively reduced, which becomes a problem to be solved.
In the current-assisted roll-forming process, in order to reduce the contact resistance between the roll and the blank strip, stably maintain a low contact resistance state, and reduce the risk of corrosion on the surface of the formed part, the roll-forming process is usually performed under the condition that no lubricating liquid/fluid is added. However, in the conventional roll-rolling forming process, it is a common practice in the industry to spray/coat/brush a fluid/liquid having lubricating and cooling functions onto the surface of a blank part at a certain rate to reduce the friction coefficient of the contact surface between a roll and a blank strip, to reduce the wear between a profile and a roll, to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, to reduce the heating temperature rise amplitude, to improve the surface smoothness of the part after roll-rolling forming, to reduce the surface roughness of the formed part, and to reduce the friction heat rise amplitude between the roll and the blank strip, to suppress the adverse effects of the temperature rise on the blank strip, the part and the roll such as large heat load and large thermal deformation during the roll-rolling of the blank strip. Under the condition that fluid/liquid with lubricating and cooling functions appears on the surface of a blank strip in the process of rolling the blank strip, if the liquid/liquid resistivity is low and the contact is poor, the degradation of the insulation performance of an electrified system is generally caused, the insulation difficulty of the system is improved, and the stability of the fluid/liquid chemical components with the lubricating and cooling functions and the stability of the exertion of physical functions can also be influenced by the continuous electric field excitation existing in the electrified state; on the other hand, if the liquid/fluid resistivity is high, this inevitably increases the total contact resistance of the roller and the surface of the blank strip, deteriorates the energization efficiency and effect, increases the heating value and the temperature rise amplitude of the contact surface between the blank strip, the roller and the formed profile, increases the thermal load, thermal deformation and corrosion risk of the roller and the blank strip, and increases the energy loss of energization. Therefore, on the premise that fluid/liquid with lubricating and cooling functions is not applied in the electrified rolling process, the contact friction coefficient between the roller and the strip is reduced, and further the remarkable heating, the remarkable thermal deformation and the severe abrasion of the surface of the profile caused by the higher friction coefficient are reduced, so that the method becomes a prominent difficult problem to be solved in the electrified rolling forming process.

Because of the absence of liquid/fluid, the method has the advantages of preventing corrosion and stabilizing the contact resistance of the roller and the blank strip. However, this brings the problems of increased friction coefficient of the contact surface between the rolling and the blank strip, severe heat generation during the rolling process, significant thermal load and deformation of the rolls, and severe wear loss of the surfaces of the rolls and the tapered cavity of the neck after forming. In order to solve the problem, the ultrasonic vibration applying method is adopted, the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the roller and a blank strip material under the conditions of no lubrication and no heat dissipation liquid/fluid is reduced, the functions of reducing the friction heat productivity, reducing the heat accumulation speed of the roller surface, the heat load degree and the heat deformation level are realized, and the purpose of reducing the overhigh wear loss speed caused by temperature rise is further realized. The advantages can improve the processability of rolling the metal blank strip with higher hardness, yield strength and deformation resistance, and also can ensure that the surface of a rolled workpiece has smoother quality, the energy required by processing and forming is lower, and the processing and forming efficiency can be obviously improved.
5. When the blank strip is initially introduced in the rolling process, the contact friction coefficient between the roller and the contact surface of the blank strip is large, namely, the friction force with high amplitude is beneficial to bringing the blank strip into the space between the upper roller and the lower roller for rolling. Thus, the ultrasonic vibrations are not applied at the initial moment of rolling, but are applied with the optimum amplitude, frequency and power of the ultrasonic vibrations, maximizing the ultrasonic softening effect and the effectiveness of the ultrasonic vibrations on the contact friction coefficient, in the condition that the blank strip has been introduced into the rolling rolls and the process of rolling the blank strip has been operating normally.

In the figure L represents the inner width, D the outer width and H the profile height. Due to the small width value of the thin neck in the thin neck structure, the traditional milling processing of the wedge-shaped cavity hollow section is difficult to implement.

Wherein, the upper roller and the geometric shape of the upper end of the blank strip material after the pre-rolling forming are profiled, and the upper roller and the blank strip material are preferentially matched.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5. After rolling and rolling in advance, the C-shaped structural section material with the top of a sharp-angled structure and the left side and the right side with the slight upsetting characteristic is formed, and as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the precision grade regulation is realized through the magnitude of relevant geometric parameters. The C-shaped profile is geometrically provided with a demoulding angle before and after pre-rolling, so that the roller enters before the face rolling and the roller is separated and pulled out after the rolling. The geometrical structure size of the cross section of the blank strip after pre-roll forming is optimized, and a preferred geometrical shape and size parameters with high enough precision grade are provided for subsequent final roll forming.
Fig. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional structure of a blank section strip before finish rolling, corresponding to the view of section D-D in fig. 1, where 2 is the blank section strip, 7 is the upper roll (profile roll with protruding ring belt), and 16 is the lower flat roll. The geometric parameters of the upper roller and the lower flat roller and the center distance between the two rollers are preferably designed, so that after roll forming, the upper sharp corner of the blank section strip material is plastically deformed towards the center line. Under the action of the protruding ring belt arranged in the middle of the upper roller, the structural parameters of the roller and the center distance of the roller in the rolling process are selected preferentially to form a thin neck structure and ensure that the parameters of the thin neck structure are kept at a certain precision level.
Fig. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional view corresponding to E-E in fig. 1 before finish rolling, where 2 is a blank profile strip, 7 is an upper roll (profile roll with protruding ring belt), and 16 is a lower flat roll. As can be seen, after roll forming, a hollow structure with a wedge-shaped cavity and a thin neck structure are formed.
At the roll entry end, the cross section of the blank strip 2 to be rolled overall exhibits an approximately "U" -shaped profile shape with a "concave middle and convex sides". The left side and the right side are provided with sharp-angle bulges, and the pointed ends of the bulges are respectively deviated to the middle line position. In the rolling process of the cylindrical flat roller, the metal material is subjected to plastic deformation, and the projections at the sharp corners at two sides deform towards the hollow part. By precisely optimizing and designing and controlling the geometric shapes of the sharp-horn-shaped convex parts at the left side and the right side, the volume of plastic deformation caused by the pressing amount in the rolling process and the upper roller 7 with the annular convex in the middle, the upper part of the hollow part of the original blank strip material after rolling is not sealed by metal at the sharp-horn parts at the left side and the right side which are rolled and deformed as shown in figures 8 and 9 before and after final rolling, the width and the height of a thin neck are precisely controlled by the annular belt which protrudes from the roller, and the hollow cavity after rolling forming is ensured to form a narrow-lower-wide wedge-shaped cavity shape with a thin neck structure. And the upward sharp-angle-shaped bulges at the left and right sides of the original cross section are rolled and flattened by flat rollers which are rolled and protrude out of the two sides of the ring belt.
The process flow of the invention is as follows: the sectional material blank strip 2 to be rolled is placed between the left horizontal calibration roller 3 and the pre-rolling roller 4 which enter the guide rollers arranged in pairs, and the sectional material blank strip 2 runs from the front of the rollers to the back of the rollers under the driving of the relative rotation of the paired roller sets. Fixing electric brushes on two sides of a section blank strip material 2, enabling the two electrodes to be in contact with the section blank strip material 2 to be rolled, connecting a power line to binding posts arranged on the two electrodes, switching on the power supply, starting an upper roller 7 and a lower flat roller 16 to enable the section blank strip material 2 to move from left to right in the horizontal direction, and rolling and forming the section blank strip material 2, so that bulges on the left side and the right side of the cross section of the blank strip material are rolled and deformed by the rollers, and strain towards the middle is generated, thereby not only forming the section material with a hollow thin neck wedge-shaped cavity structure with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part of the cross section, but also precisely controlling the width and the height of the thin neck after the section material with the thin neck wedge-shaped cavity due to the self width of a bulge girdle on the upper roller 7, and with the help of the optimized geometrical shape of the cross section of the section blank. Because the blank strip 2 is always contacted with the left electric brush 6 and the right electric brush 8 in the rolling forming process, the serious consequence that the size error of the workpiece is overlarge due to the matching interference between the workpiece and the electrode can be avoided. The left ultrasonic roller 6 is in elastic contact with the upper surface and the lower surface of the blank belt material 2, and the right ultrasonic roller 8 is in elastic contact with the upper surface and the lower surface of the blank belt material 2. Ultrasonic vibration is differently applied in the initial stage of rolling, and after the blank strip 2 is rolled and formed by the upper roller 7 and the lower flat roller 16 for a period of time, the ultrasonic vibration is applied, so that the problem that the blank strip 2 is difficult to be introduced due to the fact that the friction coefficient of the contact surface between the guide roller and the blank strip 2 is reduced by applying the ultrasonic vibration in the initial stage is avoided.
The working rolling roller for rolling the profile blank strip 2 can be a ceramic roller. Preferably the fracture strength, bending strength, hardness, toughness and ultimate strain are sufficient to meet the ceramic work rolls used in the production of rolling mills. The ceramic roller is selected as the working roller of the rolling mill, so that the insulating property of the roller can be ensured, the heat energy and the electro-plasticity generated when pulse current passes through the roller can be avoided, the defect that the softening of the metal roller is obvious due to obvious temperature rise is overcome, the ceramic roller has stable mechanical property due to the lower production temperature, the abrasion rate of the roller is reduced, and the electric energy is saved.
The ultrasonic-assisted metal plastic forming process has two significant advantages: firstly, the ultrasonic action metal material has an ultrasonic softening effect with good instantaneity, can reduce the deformation resistance and the yield strength of the metal material in the forming process in real time, has insignificant heating and temperature rise and thermal deformation, and has the advantages of lower thermal effect and thermal load of the metal; secondly, the vibration can cause the reduction of the contact friction coefficient of the metal surface, the ultrasonic vibration has a particularly outstanding effect on reducing the friction coefficient of the metal contact surface, the application of the ultrasonic vibration in the plastic deformation process of the metal is beneficial to improving the finish quality of the metal surface of the formed part, the requirement that the surface finish is improved by further grinding and polishing after the part is formed is reduced, the environmental pollution and the production cost caused by grinding and polishing are reduced, and the production efficiency is improved. Therefore, the ultrasonic vibration is introduced into the electrically-assisted rolling process, and the ceramic roller with balanced hardness and toughness is adopted, so that the method becomes a very feasible solution to the problems of reducing the contact friction coefficient between the roller and the strip material, inhibiting the electrothermal effect from causing remarkable heating-softening behaviors of the roller and the profile and the like on the premise of not applying a fluid/liquid with lubricating and cooling functions in the electrified rolling process.
The invention utilizes the skin effect of the electro-plasticity effect and the current density when the pulse current acts on the metal, the efficacy of the pulse current for repairing and healing the eddy current formed by holes/microcracks generated by overlarge plastic strain damage, the efficacy of ultrasonic softening effect and reduction of the metal surface contact friction coefficient of the ultrasonic-assisted plastic deformation, and the two types of energy are applied to the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity section rolling forming process aiming at the metal with higher deformation resistance, yield strength and hardness and lower forming limit. In addition, the ceramic roller is adopted in the process, and liquid cooling lubricating liquid is not adopted, so that the processing cost-effectiveness ratio of the traditional rolling method to the rolling process of the section bar with the complicated cross section shape of the low/difficult-to-form metal is obviously improved.
The invention provides a processing method which can firstly reduce the deformation resistance of a section bar strip material in the rolling forming process of a metal blank strip material, improve the forming limit and the process processing forming performance of the metal blank strip material and reduce the processing forming difficulty of the rolling process of the metal section bar strip material; and secondly, the friction coefficient between the contact performance of the roller and the strip in the rolling process under the lubrication state of no/little lubricating liquid can be reduced, so that the large heat accumulation temperature rise and heating temperature rise amplitude, the severe abrasion degree of the surface of the section, the obvious heat load and thermal deformation of the roller and the section, which are caused by the higher friction coefficient, are reduced, the geometric and dimensional precision of the formed section strip after the rolling and rolling forming and the smoothness of the surface appearance are obviously improved, and the required processing energy consumption is reduced. And thirdly, realizing accurate regulation and control of the thin neck structure of the wedge-shaped cavity profile after the profile is formed by rolling and the precision grade of the wedge-shaped cavity parameter of the profile through the optimization design of the geometric parameters of the roller represented by the geometric dimension of the protruding ring belt on the special-shaped roller and the parameters of the rolling process. The processing method provided by the invention has the capability of improving the rolling forming process capability and the quality of the formed part.
Under the assistance of pulse current and ultrasonic vibration dual energy excitation with preferred characteristic parameters, the width size of the thin neck part can be regulated and controlled by adopting a roller with a protruding ring belt through an initial blank sectional material with an optimally designed C-like cross section shape, and the regulation and calibration of the related size and precision are realized. The method comprises the steps of realizing the regulation and the precision calibration of the height of the thin neck and quickly preparing the wedge-shaped cavity section with a smooth whole surface and a thin neck local structure through the optimization of the geometric shape of the initial cross section of a blank strip (2) and related structural dimension parameters and the optimization of the center distance of a pair of rollers formed in the rolling process and the geometric dimension parameters of a protruding ring belt.
The invention mainly designs the initial blank belt material with a preferred cross section geometric shape under the combined excitation action of pulse current technology and ultrasonic wave dual energy preferred parameters in the process of rolling the thin neck wedge-shaped cavity, and can obviously improve the forming quality, cost effectiveness ratio and processing capacity of the rolling processing forming technology of the thin neck wedge-shaped cavity section bar, obviously improve the surface finish of the section bar after the rolling forming, reduce the heating range of friction heat generation in the production process and reduce the heat load and heat strain level of related rollers and the section bar.
The invention relates to a pulse current and ultrasonic double-auxiliary rolling processing method which can improve the processability, the formability and the usability of a metal blank strip material with high hardness and strength and low forming limit. In order to enable the section to have higher formability and processing cost ratio, better processability, higher geometric and dimensional precision after forming, more stable, uniform and optimized overall mechanical property, smaller grain size and smaller residual stress, the invention provides the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity section which is produced by applying pulse current and ultrasonic vibration to the rolling process together to roll the thin-neck wedge-shaped cavity section.
Aiming at different rolling materials, sectional material cross section shapes and processing technologies, by adjusting the upper roller, the lower roller, the left roller, the right roller and a blank sectional material strip to be matched with the geometric shape of a contact surface, the center distance between the rollers or/and the rollers with different diameters and geometric shapes, and adopting proper optimization on the ultrasonic vibration frequency, the amplitude and the power, preferential preparation production conditions for metal sectional materials with different types and sectional material geometric shapes and heat treatment and strain states are obtained, and the ultrasonic softening efficiency of ultrasonic vibration on metal is maximally improved, and the efficiency of the contact surface friction coefficient of the blank sectional material is reduced.
By adjusting characteristic parameters of a pulse power supply, including power, voltage/current amplitude, pulse frequency, duty ratio and pulse width of the current source, the skin effect and the electroplasticity of the pulse current flowing through the metal and the capability of repairing and healing cavities and microcracks caused by strain damage are utilized, the current density amplitude, the heating and temperature rise amplitude and the strain damage repairing capability of the surface layer of the metal section with obvious deformation are improved, the yield strength, the deformation resistance and the forming difficulty of the surface layer metal are reduced, and the processing efficiency, the quality, the machinability and the processing cost ratio of the section are improved.
