Description

Aluminum alloy sheet precise shaping method and device based on electro-hydraulic forming
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of precision forming of aluminum alloy sheets, in particular to a precision shaping method and device of an aluminum alloy sheet based on electro-hydraulic forming.
Background
Aluminum alloy has been widely used in many important industrial fields such as automobiles, aviation, military and the like as an important lightweight material. Although the aluminum alloy material has the characteristics of high strength, light weight, high efficiency and excellent performance, the problems of narrow plastic deformation range, high forming pressure, large resilience and the like still exist, when the small characteristics of local deep grooves, sharp edges and corners and the like of the aluminum alloy sheet part are formed by using the traditional cold stamping process, the sheet is easy to excessively thin or break, and in order to ensure that the sheet is not excessively thin, the cold stamping process needs multi-pass forming and shaping procedures. In addition, the cold stamping process often causes surface scraping of the aluminum alloy plate, so that orange peel and slip lines are easily formed on the surface, and the aesthetic requirements of a formed part are seriously influenced.
Although the plasticity of the aluminum alloy material can be improved by high-temperature forming or warm forming, heating equipment must be added, the cost is increased, and the energy consumption is increased.
Hydroforming is an important technique for forming aluminum alloy sheets and tubes. It has many advantages such as effectively suppressing the springback of the metal plate member and improving the forming accuracy, reducing the forming passes, and saving the die cost. However, for hydroforming of some localized small features, a greater plenum pressure is required to achieve full film application, resulting in increased equipment tonnage. In addition, as the pressure of the liquid chamber is increased, the plate material of the adhered mould part is difficult to supplement to the area to be shaped, and the excessive thinning and even cracking of the wall thickness of the plate material are easy to occur.
Research shows that the aluminum alloy has the characteristic of increasing the elongation rate under the condition of high-speed deformation. Therefore, high-speed forming is also an effective means for solving the problem of poor plasticity of the aluminum alloy, and high-speed forming technologies such as electro-hydraulic forming, electromagnetic forming and the like attract attention. However, many key technical problems of high-speed forming in the application of large deformation of materials are not well solved, and the high-speed forming is only practically applied in the fields of small deformation and precise forming so far.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides an aluminum alloy sheet precise shaping method based on electro-hydraulic forming, aiming at overcoming the defects of the traditional stamping process and the traditional liquid-filling forming process when local small features of aluminum alloy are formed and exerting the advantages of high-speed forming when local small features such as small round corners or sharp shapes are formed.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention provides an aluminum alloy sheet precise shaping method based on electro-hydraulic forming, which comprises the following steps:
A. preparing a tool, namely adjusting the distance between a positive electrode and a negative electrode for electro-hydraulic forming in a male die liquid chamber, and connecting a metal material between the positive electrode and the negative electrode in an explosive wire mode;
B. clamping a workpiece, namely placing an aluminum alloy preformed piece on the punch liquid chamber, enabling the convex part to face upwards, pressing the edge of the preformed piece by using a shaping female die, attaching the part of the preformed piece which is subjected to final forming to a cavity of the shaping female die, and enabling a sealed space to be formed between the preformed piece and the punch liquid chamber;
C. filling an electro-hydraulic forming medium, and introducing water into the punch liquid chamber to fill the space between the preformed piece and the punch liquid chamber with water;
D. vacuumizing the part to be shaped, and pumping out air in the space between the part to be shaped of the preformed piece and the shaping female die to form negative pressure vacuum;
E. electro-hydraulic finishing of the aluminum alloy part, starting the high-voltage pulse generator to charge a capacitor bank of the high-voltage pulse generator to a preset voltage, stopping charging, switching on a discharge switch to discharge the capacitor bank, generating instantaneous high-voltage pulse to rapidly vaporize, explode and expand the metal material between a positive electrode and a negative electrode and the surrounding water medium to form shock waves, so that the part to be shaped of the preformed part is deformed to be tightly attached to a cavity of a shaping female die to finish the precise shaping of the preformed part.
According to the invention, the aluminum alloy sheet with most shape characteristics finished by the over-pressing process or the liquid-filling forming is placed on the specific shaping die, and the local small characteristics of the aluminum alloy sheet are precisely shaped by utilizing the principle that the electro-hydraulic medium instantaneously expands to generate shock waves under the condition of high-pressure pulse.
Optionally, the method can select whether to connect a metal material between the positive electrode and the negative electrode according to actual requirements, when the metal material is connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the precise shaping mode is wire explosion electro-hydraulic shaping, after the high-voltage pulse generator is charged, the discharge switch is turned on, the capacitor bank releases high-voltage pulse current to the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the high-voltage pulse current passes through the metal material between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the instantaneously generated high temperature enables the metal material and surrounding liquid to be rapidly vaporized and exploded and expand outwards at a very high speed to form a strong impact pressure wave, so that the part of the workpiece to be shaped is deformed at a high speed; when the metal material is not connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, the precise shaping mode is gap discharge electrohydraulic forming, after the high-voltage pulse generator is charged, the discharge switch is turned on, the capacitor bank releases high-voltage pulse current to the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the gap between the electrodes is broken down, high-speed shock waves and liquid flow shock are generated in the water medium near the electrodes, and the part of the workpiece to be shaped is deformed at high speed.
The aluminum alloy pre-forming piece is a pre-formed aluminum alloy sheet, most of shape characteristics of the aluminum alloy sheet meet the final forming requirement in a liquid-filling forming or stamping forming mode, and a small amount of round corner positions or small characteristics need to be precisely shaped.
Therefore, because high-speed forming is only practically applied in the field of small deformation and precision forming, most of the shape requirements of the aluminum alloy sheet are generally finished by adopting the traditional stamping forming or liquid filling forming mode to form a preformed piece, and then the method can be adopted to carry out precision shaping aiming at local small features which cannot be finished by the traditional process.
In a further improvement, step E is followed by:
and (4) taking out the workpiece, discharging water in the liquid chamber of the male die after the precision shaping is finished, opening the shaping female die, and taking out the aluminum alloy part subjected to precision shaping.

and placing an aluminum alloy sheet to be shaped on the punch liquid chamber, enabling the convex part of the aluminum alloy sheet to face upwards, pressing the edge of the aluminum alloy sheet by using the shaping female die, attaching the part of the aluminum alloy sheet which is finally shaped to a cavity of the shaping female die, and forming a sealed space between the aluminum alloy sheet and the punch liquid chamber.
Therefore, the device provides a hardware basis for the method, and the metal material is connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, so that the metal material and surrounding liquid are quickly vaporized and exploded under high-voltage pulse current and expand outwards at the highest speed to form strong impact pressure waves to finish electro-hydraulic forming of the workpiece to be shaped.
Wherein the high voltage pulse generator comprises:
a step-up transformer connected to an external voltage;

and a capacitor bank is connected between the node of the current-limiting resistor and the discharge switch and the negative electrode of the boosting transformer.
From above, the operating principle of this high voltage pulse generator is: the rectifier element converts the voltage boosted by the booster transformer into direct-current voltage, the direct-current voltage can charge the capacitor bank after passing through the current-limiting resistor, the discharge switch is closed after the charging is finished, and the capacitor bank releases high-voltage pulse current between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electro-hydraulic forming, so that the surrounding liquid between the electrodes generates high-speed shock waves and liquid flow shock, and the electro-hydraulic forming of the workpiece to be shaped is finished.
Wherein the metal material is a metal wire or a metal foil.
Therefore, according to the actual requirement of precise shaping, a ribbon-shaped metal foil can be selected to be connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode so as to ensure that the explosion generates shock waves with enough strength, and besides, a metal wire can be selected to be connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
And the shaping female die is provided with a channel for vacuumizing and is used for connecting a vacuum pump so as to pump out air in a space between the part to be shaped of the aluminum alloy sheet and the shaping female die.
Therefore, negative pressure vacuum is formed in the space between the local non-die-sticking part of the aluminum alloy sheet and the shaping female die, and resistance of the aluminum alloy sheet during instantaneous high-speed deformation is favorably reduced.
Alternatively, the material of the positive electrode and the negative electrode can be copper, brass or stainless steel.
Optionally, the metal material may be selected from materials with low melting point and high conductivity, such as copper, aluminum, and the like.
