Description

Titanium alloy and manufacturing method of titanium alloy watch appearance piece
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of titanium alloy materials and watch part manufacturing, in particular to a titanium alloy and a method for manufacturing a titanium alloy watch appearance part.
Background
In the watch industry, the watch appearance piece is usually processed by adopting 316L stainless steel as a raw material, and the stainless steel is high in density, heavy in weight and low in wearing comfort, and Ni element is often added into the stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance of the watch appearance piece, and the Ni element contacts with human skin, so that part of people can be allergic, and the watch appearance piece is not bio-friendly. The density of the titanium alloy material is low, and the mass of the titanium alloy material is only half of that of 316L steel under the same volume; corrosion resistance is also better than that of 316L steel, and the steel is not corroded after being subjected to artificial sweat and salt spray tests for a longer time; meanwhile, the titanium alloy also has biological friendliness, does not cause skin allergy and has good wearing comfort, so that the titanium alloy is widely used for manufacturing watch appearance parts. The traditional titanium alloy watch generally adopts a machining mode, and the strength and hardness of the titanium alloy are high, so that the machining is complex and difficult, particularly the machining difficulty of high-temperature titanium alloy is higher; in addition, in the machining process, the titanium alloy is easy to adhere to cutters and accumulate scraps, is difficult to dissipate heat, is easy to damage the cutters and even fires, greatly increases the machining cost and reduces the machining efficiency; in addition, most of titanium alloys have loose internal tissues, so that a plurality of sand holes exist on the surface of a finished product, and the aesthetic appearance is damaged.
In both patent numbers CN1083015C and TW397940B, a titanium alloy ornament is manufactured by hot-pressing a titanium alloy and then machining and surface treatment, so as to improve the surface quality thereof. However, because the high-temperature titanium alloy has high general strength, high hardness and relatively poor plasticity at high temperature, when the titanium alloy is processed by adopting the existing hot pressing technology, the deformation of the titanium alloy in one-time hot pressing forming is overlarge, so that the deformation resistance and the required pressure of the material are overlarge, the shearing stress generated under a large amount of compressive stress is overlarge, particularly, the stress is more concentrated at various positions with larger bending degree, the stress and the structure at the structure are often unstable, the surface of an extruded blank is extremely easy to wrinkle and even crack, the influence of the blank is difficult to eliminate after the polishing amount is large, the high requirement of the surface quality of the clock industry is not met, and meanwhile, the damage of hot pressing equipment is accelerated. In addition, in the above technical scheme, the hot pressing process parameters are not suitable for the high-temperature titanium alloy, specifically, the heating temperature in the TW397940B patent is 600-750 ℃, and compared with the high-temperature titanium alloy, the high-temperature titanium alloy has large deformation resistance due to the fact that the temperature is too low, and the bending surface of the pressed blank is easy to wrinkle and crack.
Therefore, the high-temperature titanium alloy can only be hot-pressed into a shape of a general part, and then more machining quantity is needed to reach the final size requirement, the machining difficulty still exists, and the efficiency is greatly reduced; in the hot pressing process, the titanium alloy blank is at a high temperature for too long, so that the titanium alloy blank is seriously oxidized, and an oxide layer is too thick; in addition, oxygen can diffuse into the matrix to form a brittle oxygen-enriched layer, thereby affecting the mechanical properties. Particularly for titanium alloy watch pieces, many parts have complex shapes, often have bending surface structures and large hole designs, the appearance ridge line is required to be lifted, and the structure and the requirement are difficult to finish by the existing hot press forming.

Detailed Description
In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily understood, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The present invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, whereby the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
The invention discloses a high-temperature-resistant and easy-to-process titanium alloy, which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: al:3% -8%, si: 0-1%, V:0% -3%, zr:1% -5%, mo: 0-3%, sn: 0-5%, nd:0.5% -1.5%, other small amounts of impurity elements are not more than 2%, and the rest element is Ti.
Further preferably, the titanium alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: al:5% -7%, si:0 to 0.5 percent, V:0.5% -3%, zr:1% -3.5%, mo: 0-2%, sn: 0-4%, nd:0.5 to 1.2 percent, other small amounts of impurity elements are not more than 2 percent, and the rest element is Ti.
Further, the titanium alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: al:5% -6.5%, si:0 to 0.5 percent, V:0.8% -2.5%, zr:1.5 to 3.5 percent of Mo:0.5 to 2 percent of Sn:2% -4%, nd:0.8% -1.2%, other small amount of impurity elements are not more than 2%, and the rest element is Ti.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the titanium alloy comprises the following components in percentage by weight: al:5.5 to 6.5 percent of Si:0.1 to 0.5 percent, V:0.8% -2.5%, zr:2.5 to 3.5 percent of Mo:0.5 to 1.5 percent of Sn: 3-4%, nd:0.8% -1.2%, other small amount of impurity elements are not more than 2%, and the rest element is Ti.
The titanium alloy has the advantages that the Al element content is controlled to be 3-8%, the Al element is increased, the oxidation resistance, the hot workability, the strength and other performances of the titanium alloy can be improved, but when the Al content exceeds 6%, the second phase Ti is formed 3 Al, when the content exceeds 7%, ti 3 The Al phase is mass-produced so that the strength of the titanium alloy is increased, but the plasticity and the stress corrosion resistance are drastically reduced, so that the Al element content needs to be controlled in order to ensure smooth hot forming and excellent comprehensive properties of the titanium alloy. In addition, the invention increases Nd accounting for 0.5 to 1.5 percent and Nd accounting for 0 to 5 percent% Sn. Because the solid solubility of Nd in the titanium matrix is very small, nd element is very easy to combine with O element in the high-temperature heat treatment process, and neodymium oxide particles are formed in situ, so that the effect of particle reinforcement is achieved, and the wear resistance, strength and plasticity of the titanium alloy are improved. The addition of a proper amount of Nb can also increase the compression ratio of the high-temperature titanium alloy, and the compression ratio is maximum when the Nb content is 1.0 percent. This is because Nb promotes the formation of β -Ti, which is a body-centered cubic structure, with relatively large internal slip, which is advantageous for plastic deformation of the material and increases the compression ratio, thereby making hot press processing easier. In addition, studies on titanium-based multicomponent alloys show that an increase in the amounts of Nb and Sn increases the volume fraction of the dendritic structure, further resulting in an increase in the amount of plastic strain, reducing the difficulty of hot pressing. The titanium alloy provided by the invention also has the advantages of light weight, biological friendliness, excellent corrosion resistance, good wearing comfort and the like which are commonly possessed by the titanium alloy.
Referring to fig. 1, the invention also discloses a method for manufacturing the appearance piece of the titanium alloy watch by adopting the titanium alloy material, which comprises the following steps:
s1, blank processing: cutting the titanium alloy blank into a required size, removing burrs, cleaning the surface of the blank, and spraying a high-temperature lubricant to form a blank A.
The titanium alloy blank in step S1 is a blank made of a titanium alloy of the aforementioned composition.
S2, die installation: the mold is cleaned, sprayed with a high temperature lubricant, and the mold is mounted to the apparatus.
The high-temperature lubricant sprayed in the steps S1 and S2 is boron nitride, the melting point of the boron nitride can reach 3000 ℃, and the high-temperature lubricant with good performance is obtained.
S3, heating: the mold is heated to the specified forming temperature, then kept warm for a predetermined time, then put into the blank a, heated again at a predetermined heating rate and returned to the specified forming temperature.
The heat preservation time in the step S3 is 20-30 min, and the heating rate is 750-800 ℃/min.
S4, primary thermoforming: after holding at the specified forming temperature for a predetermined time at S3, the blank B is formed by pressurizing at a predetermined strain rate and holding for a predetermined time.
In the step S4, the molding temperature is 700-800 ℃, the heat preservation time is 5-10 min, and the strain rate is 0.05-5S -1 The dwell time is 5-10 min, wherein the appointed forming temperature is the heat preservation temperature of the blank A in the primary hot forming operation. Because the high-temperature titanium alloy has higher hardness and strength, the deformation resistance of the hot pressing is larger, the heat preservation temperature is increased to 700-800 ℃ in the embodiment, and the deformation resistance is reduced by increasing the heat preservation temperature, so that the hot pressing processing is smoothly carried out. Meanwhile, boron nitride is added as a high-temperature lubricant, so that the demolding of the part is more convenient, the contact between the surface of the titanium alloy and oxygen in the air is reduced, and the oxidation degree of the surface layer of the titanium alloy is reduced.
S5, grooving: and processing a preset number of V-shaped grooves on two folding surfaces of the large folding structure of the blank B to form a blank C.
S5, forming an included angle of a bending surface of the blank with the large bending structure of the blank B into 70-110 degrees; the dimension of the V-shaped groove is 0.5 mm-2 mm in width, 2 mm-8 mm in length and 0.5 mm-1.5 mm in depth, the bottom of the V-shaped groove is a round chamfer with the radius of 0.1 mm-1 mm, and the edge angles of two sides are acute angles; the number of the V-shaped grooves on each folding surface is 1-3.
Specifically, referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 shows the structure of V-shaped grooves in the method, and the method innovatively adopts a groove cutting method to solve the problems of hot-pressing wrinkling and cracking of titanium alloy, namely, before hot pressing, a plurality of V-shaped grooves with smaller sizes are respectively formed in two folding surfaces of a structure with large bending degree. During hot pressing, internal stresses in the metal can move and accumulate at sharp, defective locations, i.e., stress concentrating effects. Therefore, during hot pressing, the shearing stress and the compressive stress in the titanium alloy are concentrated at the bottom of the small groove and the sharp edges at the two sides, the stress is greatly released and reduced in a small groove deformation mode, the small groove is closed by deformation, and the small groove is thoroughly eliminated after multiple hot pressing, so that the surface quality of a blank is not affected. It is noted that the concave small V-groove bottom cannot be too sharp to prevent the stress concentrating effect from being too great, causing the groove bottom to propagate into cracks.
S6, repeatedly thermoforming: continuously putting the blank C into a die, heating to a specified temperature, preserving heat for a preset time, pressurizing again, maintaining pressure for a preset time, and performing thermoforming on the blank C; and repeatedly performing thermoforming to form a blank D.
In the step S6, the repeated hot forming times are at least 2 times, the forming temperature of each hot forming is 10-100 ℃ higher than that of the former hot forming, the heat preservation time is 10-15 min, and the pressure maintaining time is 10-15 min.
Because most of high-temperature titanium alloy has high hardness, high strength and low plasticity, and the titanium alloy has a work hardening effect, the one-time hot forming resistance is high, the target size is difficult to reach, and a large amount of later processing is needed, so that the machining amount is increased, the processing is difficult, and the cutter is easy to accumulate heat to cause fire and damage equipment; and the deformation of the primary hot working is overlarge, and the compressive stress caused by overlarge shearing stress of the material, so that the surface of a finished product, particularly a large-bending-surface structure, can be wrinkled or even cracked in a large area, and the qualification rate of the finished product is low. The method adopts multiple times of thermoforming, controls the deformation rate, can reduce the deformation resistance, improves the dimensional accuracy of the formed part, reduces the loss rate of hot pressing equipment, and is favorable for smooth hot processing; in order to reduce the work hardening effect, the temperature or the heat preservation time of each hot forming is increased compared with that of the former hot forming so as to ensure that the process is carried out smoothly. In addition, the blank after multiple hot pressing is close to net near forming, the later machining amount is greatly reduced, the loss rate of machining equipment and cutters is reduced, the safety is improved, and the qualification rate of finished products is improved. The hot pressing process also reduces the use of titanium alloy raw materials and saves the cost.
S7, cooling: and opening the furnace to take the part after pressure relief, and cooling to normal temperature.
The cooling method in step S7 is air cooling, i.e., standing cooling in air.
S8, machining: and machining the cooled blank.
S9, surface treatment: and (3) polishing, drawing, sand blasting and coating surface treatment are carried out on the machined part according to the requirements, so that the part required by the final watch is formed.
The parts required for the watch in step S9 include the case, the bottom cover, the ring, the watch band, the clasp, the handle or the dial, in other words, the watch appearance part processed by the method includes the case, the bottom cover, the ring, the watch band, the clasp, the handle or the dial.
In the method, when the blank is heated, the die is heated to a specified temperature, and then the titanium alloy blank is put in for continuous heating. The method has the advantages that the blank heating speed is high, the exposure time of the titanium alloy at high temperature is shorter, the oxide layer particles are smaller, the compactness is good, and the surface layer attractiveness and the mechanical property are good; the thickness is thinner, less than 1 μm, and the oxidation degree is low.
In addition, the method adopts a hot pressing mode to process the titanium alloy, so that the surface of the titanium alloy is densified, and the aesthetic property of a finished product is improved. The metallographic structure of the titanium alloy raw material before hot pressing is shown in fig. 3, the surface of the titanium alloy raw material is loose and porous, and if polishing, sand drawing and other surface positions are directly carried out, a plurality of sand holes can appear, so that the attractiveness of the titanium alloy raw material is very affected. Referring to FIG. 4, after hot pressing, the titanium alloy sample is observed with 50 times magnification, the surface layer is compact and has no gaps within 500-700 μm, and after surface treatments such as polishing, sand drawing and the like, no sand holes are formed, so that the attractiveness is greatly improved. In addition, after the high-temperature titanium alloy is processed by a hot pressing process, the surface hardness is improved by 30-60 HV, and the surface wear resistance of the titanium alloy is improved.
The manufacturing method of the titanium alloy watch appearance piece is mainly aimed at high-temperature titanium alloy, is applicable to low-temperature titanium alloy, and is wide in application range.
The titanium alloy and the method of manufacturing the titanium alloy wristwatch appearance of the present invention will be further described below by means of the composition and processing methods of two specific examples of the wristwatch appearance.
