Simple cavity profile straightening and stretching device and method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of metal processing, in particular to a simple cavity profile straightening and stretching device and method.
Background
In the aluminium processing industry, extruded products are of considerable importance and the most predominant method of production of aluminium alloy profiles is by extrusion. Extrusion refers to a plastic processing method in which an ingot blank contained in an extrusion cylinder is extruded out of a specific die hole or flows into a specific gap by using an extrusion rod to form, and common extrusion methods include forward extrusion, backward extrusion, lateral extrusion, continuous extrusion and other extrusion methods.
Extrusion of profiles, especially hollow-chamber profiles, is usually carried out by hot extrusion. The ingot blank is heated to a certain temperature, and passes through a specific mould at a certain speed under the action of an extrusion shaft, and then is assisted with a specific cooling mode and subsequent treatment to meet the use requirement. Wherein, the thin-wall section is mostly produced by extruding 6063 alloy.
In the material forming process, the section discharging usually has bending in different degrees due to the reasons of material wall thickness difference, a die, a traction mode, a cooling mode and the like. In order to ensure the usability of the product, the straightening process is indispensable.
In addition, internal stress of different degrees can be remained in a product structure due to cooling, the internal stress is usually eliminated by increasing the stretching amount and controlling the stretching amount to be 1-3%, so that more vacancies and dislocations appear in the alloy structure, and in the subsequent aging process, the dislocations with different signs are mutually offset due to the motion effect, so that the lattice distortion is eliminated. Since 80% of the internal stress is the third type of internal stress due to lattice distortion, the reduction of lattice distortion can effectively eliminate the internal stress. In the production process, in order to ensure the production efficiency and delivery efficiency, straightening and stretching are generally carried out synchronously.
In the traditional extrusion production process, a straightening machine or a stretching machine adopts a downward pressing type. The method is convenient for straightening and drawing the solid material or the section with large wall thickness. However, for the section bar with large cavity and higher planeness requirement, it is not suitable, because the downward pressure is larger, the clamping section is seriously deformed, and under the action of straightening force, the section bar is mostly concave in surface and can not be shaped. The problem is solved by adopting a mode of assembling a cushion block on a tool before straightening each section, manually disassembling the cushion block after stretching, assembling the section after stretching the lower support section, repeating the steps, and having complex operation and high labor intensity.
