Description

Ultrasonic-assisted blocking type rotary gradient extrusion method and device for titanium alloy fastener
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of material processing, in particular to an ultrasonic-assisted blocking type rotary gradient extrusion method and device for a titanium alloy fastener.
Background
The titanium alloy fastener has the excellent comprehensive performances of light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance, fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance and the like, and is an important development direction of high-performance light-weight structural members in the modern aerospace field. Titanium alloy fasteners, represented by titanium alloy bolts, are generally formed by upsetting a bar stock formed by forging and forging; in order to increase the strength of the screw, there are also processes in which the stem is formed by upsetting a head, extruding or other process. Titanium alloys have poor thermal conductivity, large friction coefficient, strong adhesion and difficult forming. Cold forming is adopted, so that defects such as folding, cracking, internal cavity, adiabatic shearing, surface cracking and the like are easy to generate; by adopting warm forming, a larger temperature gradient can be formed in the material due to the skin effect of induction heating, so that the grain structure of the surface layer is thicker than that in the material. In addition, the traditional deformation process has small deformation amount and unsatisfactory material deformation refinement strengthening effect.
The titanium alloy fastener is subjected to shearing, fretting wear, stretching, compression, stress corrosion, bending, fatigue and the like in the working process, and the stress condition is very complex. The titanium alloy has low surface hardness and poor thermal conductivity, and is extremely easy to generate adhesive wear and abrasive particle wear; in addition, under the action of micro-motion and alternating stress, fatigue cracks are usually initiated on the surface, and the service life and reliability of parts are seriously affected. The difficulty in improving the strong plasticity simultaneously weakens the industrial application potential of the titanium alloy fastener to a certain extent, and becomes one of bottleneck problems restricting the development of the titanium alloy fastener. The existing plastic forming process is difficult to meet the requirements of the development of aerospace technology on higher strength plasticity, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and the like of the titanium alloy fastener, and the limitation of the prior art needs to be broken through, so that a new forming process is developed.
Research shows that the multi-stage construction of the material structure can effectively overcome the performance defects of the material and exert the performance advantages of the material, and the gradient structure is one important construction type. In particular, when the surface layer of the material is nanocrystalline or ultrafine grain and the grain size is distributed in a gradient manner from small to large from the surface layer to the core part, the material has excellent plasticity and high strength, and the wear resistance, fatigue resistance and surface alloying performance are obviously improved, so that a new thought is provided for improving the service performance of the aerospace titanium alloy fastener. Currently, gradient tissue is generally prepared by gradient plastic deformation, gradient physical or chemical deposition methods. The newly developed gradient extrusion process is one of the most developed plastic deformation processes for preparing gradient structures. The gradient extrusion is to realize gradual accumulation of large strain on the surface layer of the material through a gradient forming unit, effectively promote crushing refinement of crystal grains from outside to inside, further realize gradual reduction of the size of blank crystal grains from inside to outside, greatly improve the mechanical property of the surface layer, improve the ductility of the core part, and further improve the comprehensive mechanical property of the material, thereby providing a new technical approach for processing high-performance titanium alloy fasteners. However, the gradient extrusion process has large forming load, is difficult to form the difficult-to-deform high-strength titanium alloy, and is easy to generate defects such as surface cracking. Although the formability of the titanium alloy can be improved by increasing the forming temperature, the accumulation of high-energy defects in the material can be reduced, and the grain crushing and refining effects in the plastic deformation process are affected; and the crystal grains are easily coarsened due to long-time heating and high-temperature deformation. In particular, the gradient extrusion process has limited deformation and grain refinement effect, and the preparation of superfine grain gradient structure is difficult to realize.
