Description

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of metal surface mechanical strengthening, in particular to a surface strengthening device and a surface strengthening method for applying an elastic stress field to a metal workpiece and assisting ultrasonic rolling.

Background

One of the most important factors affecting the fatigue properties of metallic materials is the residual stress. The residual compressive stress can partially or even completely counteract the tensile external load, close the microcrack, inhibit the formation of a fatigue crack source, and delay the expansion of the fatigue crack, thereby improving the fatigue performance of the metal member. Ultrasonic rolling is an advanced mechanical surface strengthening method, and can generate a residual compressive stress field on the surface layer of a metal component to improve the fatigue performance of the metal component. Important indexes of the surface layer residual compressive stress field generated by ultrasonic rolling comprise the surface residual compressive stress level, the peak value residual compressive stress level and the depth of a residual compressive stress influence layer.

The existing ultrasonic rolling strengthening method has certain limitations, the level of the generated surface residual compressive stress and peak residual compressive stress is low, the influence layer of the residual compressive stress is shallow, and the fatigue performance of a metal material cannot be improved to the maximum extent, so that a more complete ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening method needs to be sought.

Example two

As shown in fig. 2a, another metal material physical field assisted ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening device 2000 is shown, wherein the physical field loading system 5 adopted is a first physical field loading system 501, and the first physical field loading system 501 is an elastic stress field loading device 501 a.

The metal workpiece 3 is made of an in-situ TiB2/2024 Al composite material, and is numbered as A-2.

As shown in fig. 2b, the surface strengthening method of the corresponding device 2000 is shown, which comprises seven steps of clamping the workpiece, applying the physical field, applying rotation and feeding, ultrasonic rolling, stopping rotation and feeding, unloading the physical field and removing the workpiece. The method is the same as the surface strengthening method in the first embodiment except for the following steps:

wherein the step of applying the physical field is applying an elastic stress field, and the step of unloading the physical field is unloading the elastic stress field.

Particularly, the workpiece clamping step comprises: both ends of the metal workpiece 3 are inserted into one ends of the first and second clamps 501a-1 and 501a-2, respectively, and fixed, and then the other ends of the first and second clamps 501a-1 and 501a-2 are clamped by jaws of the first and second clamping devices 1-15 and 1-16, respectively, as shown in fig. 2 c.

The step of unloading the elastic stress field is as follows: and closing the hydraulic driving device 4-1, and removing the oil pressure in the transverse moving driving system 4 to enable the metal workpiece 3 to elastically recover.

In particular, the application of the elastic stress field before the ultrasonic rolling step and the unloading of the elastic stress field after the ultrasonic rolling step can induce elastic stress superposition and resultant force-resultant moment rebalancing in the metal workpiece 3, thereby further improving the level and depth of the surface layer residual compressive stress generated by the ultrasonic rolling.

In particular, the above-mentioned advantageous effects can be obtained only when the steps as shown in fig. 2b are sequentially performed.

In this embodiment, the parameters of each step are: firstly clamping a No. A-2 workpiece, then applying a 150 MPa uniaxial tensile elastic stress field to the No. A-2 workpiece, then rotating the No. A-2 workpiece at a rotating speed of 200 r/min, then carrying out ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening on the No. A-2 workpiece, wherein the rolling condition is that a rolling head is a tungsten carbide hard alloy ball with phi 14 mm, the static load pressure is 180N, the ultrasonic frequency is 28 KHz, the ultrasonic amplitude is 10 mu m, the axial feed rate is 0.1 mm/r, stopping the rotation and axial feed of the workpiece after the ultrasonic rolling is finished, unloading the uniaxial tensile elastic stress field, and finally taking down the workpiece.

EXAMPLE III

As shown in fig. 3a, another metal material physical field assisted ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening device 3000 is shown, wherein the physical field loading system 5 adopted is a second physical field loading system 502, the second physical field loading system 502 is a pulsed electric current field loading system 502a, and the workpiece material is an in-situ TiB2/2024 Al composite material, which is numbered as a-3.

As shown in fig. 3b, a surface strengthening method corresponding to the illustrated apparatus 3000 is shown, sequentially including seven steps of clamping a workpiece, applying a physical field, applying rotation and feed, ultrasonic rolling, stopping rotation and feed, unloading the physical field, and removing the workpiece. The method is the same as the surface strengthening method in the first embodiment except for the following steps:

wherein the step of applying the physical field is applying a pulsed current field and the step of unloading the physical field is unloading the pulsed current field.

Particularly, the workpiece clamping step comprises: insulating rubber sleeves are respectively sleeved at two ends of a metal workpiece 3, and then the first clamping devices 1-15 and the second clamping devices 1-16 are used for respectively clamping the two ends of the metal workpiece 3.

The step of applying the pulse current field comprises the following steps: adjusting the positions of the first electrode 502a-1 and the second electrode 502a-2 on the arc-shaped support 502a-3 to be in the same plane with the rolling head at the tip of the ultrasonic rolling system 2, so as to ensure that the rolling head is in an electric path between the electrodes, as shown in fig. 3 c; the first electrode 502a-1 and the second electrode 502a-2 are kept in good contact with the surface of the metal workpiece 3, then the power supply 502a-5 is started, the preset pulse current parameters are adjusted, and pulse current is supplied to the metal workpiece 3 through the lead 502a-4, the first electrode 502a-1 and the second electrode 502 a-2.

The metal material is an electric good conductor, and can generate a pulse Joule heating effect under the action of a pulse electric flow field, and the deformation resistance of the metal workpiece 3 in the ultrasonic rolling process can be effectively reduced by the heat activation and the thermal expansion caused by the pulse Joule heating effect. In addition, the skin effect generated by the high-frequency pulse current can increase the current density on the surface layer of the material, so that the joule heat effect is more concentrated on the surface of the material.

Particularly, by applying the pulse current field before the ultrasonic rolling step and unloading the pulse current field after the ultrasonic rolling step, plastic effect, skin effect and joule heat effect can be induced in the metal workpiece 3, the resistance to ultrasonic rolling deformation is reduced, and the plastic flow characteristic of the surface layer material is improved, thereby further improving the level and depth of the residual compressive stress of the surface layer generated by the ultrasonic rolling.

The steps of unloading the pulse current field are as follows: the power supply 502a-5 is turned off and the pulse current to the metal workpiece 3 is stopped.

In particular, the above-mentioned advantageous effects can be obtained only when the steps shown in fig. 3b are sequentially performed.

In this embodiment, the parameters of each step are: firstly clamping a No. A-3 workpiece, then applying a pulse current field with the pulse frequency of 20000 Hz, the pulse width of 1 mu s, the duty ratio of 50 percent and the peak current density of 30A/mm2 to the No. A-3 workpiece, then enabling the No. A-3 workpiece to rotate at the rotating speed of 200 r/min, and finally carrying out ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening on the No. A-3 workpiece, wherein the rolling condition is that a rolling head is a tungsten carbide hard alloy ball with the diameter of 14 mm, the static load pressure is 180N, the ultrasonic frequency is 28 KHz, the ultrasonic amplitude is 10 mu m, the axial feed rate is 0.1 mm/r, the rotation and the axial feed of the workpiece are stopped after the ultrasonic rolling is finished, the pulse current field is unloaded, and finally the workpiece is taken down.

Example four

As shown in fig. 4a, another metal material physical field assisted ultrasonic rolling surface strengthening apparatus 4000 is shown, wherein the physical field loading system 5 adopted is a second physical field loading system 502, the second physical field loading system 502 is a thermal field system 502b, and the workpiece material is an in-situ TiB2/2024 Al composite material, which is numbered as a-4.

As shown in fig. 4b, a surface strengthening method corresponding to the illustrated apparatus 4000 is illustrated, which sequentially comprises seven steps of clamping a workpiece, applying a physical field, applying rotation and feeding, ultrasonically rolling, stopping rotation and feeding, unloading the physical field, and removing the workpiece. The method is the same as the surface strengthening method in the first embodiment except for the following steps:

wherein the step of applying the physical field is applying the thermal field, and the step of unloading the pulsed electric current field is unloading the thermal field.

In particular, the step of applying the thermal field is: the power supply 502b-1 is started, the output voltage and current of the controller 502b-3 are adjusted, and the heater 502b-4 is electrified through the bracket 502b-2 with a lead inside to heat the metal workpiece 3, as shown in fig. 4 c; the temperature of the metal workpiece 3 is monitored in real time by the temperature monitor 502b-5 and the voltage and the current output by the controller 502b-3 are fed back and adjusted, so that the middle part of the metal workpiece 3 is heated to the preset temperature. Particularly, the temperature of the middle heating part of the metal workpiece 3 needs to be monitored in real time during the heating process and fed back to the feedback regulation controller 502b-3 to regulate and control the temperature of the heating part of the metal workpiece 3 to be maintained at a specified temperature in real time, and the heating temperature of the middle part of the metal workpiece 3 does not exceed the second phase precipitation temperature of the material used for the metal workpiece 3.

The steps of unloading the thermal field are as follows: the heater 502b-4 is turned off and the application of the thermal field to the metal workpiece 3 is stopped.
