Description

TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall part machining method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of processing of non-ferrous metal materials, in particular to a method for processing a TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall part.
Background
The TC4 titanium alloy (namely Ti-6 Al-4V) has a series of advantages of excellent corrosion resistance, low density, extremely high specific strength, better comprehensive performance, processing performance, low-temperature toughness and the like, is widely applied in the fields of aerospace, petrochemical industry, pressure vessels, automobiles, medicines and the like, and is a titanium alloy material with the largest use amount at present. With the rapid development of aerospace and other industries, the usage amount of the TC4 titanium alloy is increasing, and the heat treatment and machining process thereof is becoming mature, but still faces the following problems: the problems of easy knife sticking, large resilience amount, residual stress and the like are solved, so that the mechanical processing of high-precision parts made of TC4 titanium alloy materials, especially curved surface thin-wall parts, is generally concerned.
The TC4 titanium alloy belongs to alpha + beta type titanium alloy, and is one of typical difficult-to-machine materials, mainly because: 1) The thermal conductivity of TC4 titanium alloy is very low, a large amount of cutting heat generated in the machining process cannot be dissipated in time, so that the cutting temperature is increased, and the cutter is quickly worn;
2) The cutting stress is large, so that the cutting edge is easy to wear; 3) The cutting friction coefficient is large, more heat is generated by the friction between the cutting chips and the front cutter face, and the temperature is higher; 4) At high temperature, the TC4 titanium alloy and nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen in the air react chemically to form a hardened layer; 5) The TC4 titanium alloy has low elastic modulus and high yield strength, so that a machined surface generates large rebound and deformation during cutting, the rear angle of a cutter is abraded, and the friction with a part is aggravated. The TC4 titanium alloy has high processing temperature and large cutting force, and the processing precision of a workpiece can be seriously influenced by the resilience and deformation in the processing process, and meanwhile, the workpiece generates large residual stress, and the residual stress can cause the deformation of the workpiece to influence the use of the workpiece when the workpiece is in service at the later stage.
There are various methods for removing residual stress generated during the machining of a workpiece. The stress relief annealing is to anneal the metal workpiece at a lower temperature under the condition of not changing the structure state, remove the residual stress of the workpiece, reduce the deformation of the workpiece and eliminate most of the residual stress. Further annealing to relieve residual stress requires heating the workpiece to higher temperatures, which can introduce texture changes that affect material properties. The cryogenic treatment is a new technology developed in the 60's of the 20 th century, and generally refers to the treatment of workpieces at a temperature below-130 ℃ by using liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant. The cryogenic treatment can reduce the residual stress without reducing the hardness and the strength of the workpiece, and can obviously improve the toughness of the workpiece and stabilize the material structure under some conditions. The cryogenic treatment can effectively improve the mechanical properties and the service lives of steel materials, nonferrous metals and composite materials, stabilize the size, improve the uniformity, reduce the deformation, has simple and convenient operation, no damage to workpieces, no pollution and low cost, and has positive application prospect and development space. The cryogenic treatment can improve the structure of the titanium alloy under certain conditions, but the influence of the cryogenic treatment on the titanium alloy is related to the state of the titanium alloy, and the structural state of the titanium alloy is difficult to control.
The application of the cryogenic technology in the machining of high-precision parts of titanium alloys, particularly TC4 titanium alloy materials is not mature at present, the existing method for eliminating the residual stress of the titanium alloys mainly adopts annealing treatment, the process method is single, the residual stress of workpieces is difficult to be effectively reduced to the minimum, and new thermal stress can be generated in the annealing process to influence the size precision of the workpieces. And the single cryogenic process is difficult to achieve the obvious effect like the cryogenic treatment of carbon steel. Therefore, the development of a method for machining a TC4 titanium alloy curved thin-wall part with high precision, furthest reduced residual stress and stable structure and dimension is urgently needed.

The invention discloses a processing method of a TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall part, which comprises the following steps of: forging a blank, punching, reaming, solution treatment, cryogenic treatment, annealing treatment, rough machining and semi-finishing, cold-hot circulating treatment, finishing and stepped cryogenic treatment to obtain the TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall part. The TC4 blank is subjected to free forging, punching and hole expanding to obtain a forged thin-wall workpiece, so that the cutting amount in the machining process is reduced, the material is saved, the machining time is reduced, and the overall performance of the TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall workpiece is improved. Moreover, a large amount of metastable beta-phase exists in the matrix of the TC4 blank which is freely forged in the two-phase region, and the transformation from the metastable beta-phase to the alpha-phase is promoted through the cryogenic treatment, and meanwhile, the structure crystal grains are refined, and the material performance is improved. According to the characteristics of a large amount of residual stress generated in the rough machining and semi-finishing processes, the thin-wall workpiece d is subjected to cold-hot circulating treatment, so that the residual stress generated in the machining process is released, and the residual stress of the thin-wall workpiece d is eliminated to the maximum extent. And step cryogenic treatment is carried out on the thin-wall workpiece f after finish machining, so that the thin-wall workpiece f is uniformly cooled, new stress generated in the cooling process of the thin-wall workpiece f is avoided, and the TC4 titanium alloy curved surface thin-wall part with high precision, minimized residual stress and stable structure and size is obtained.
According to the TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved thin-wall part machining method, different treatment modes are adopted according to the characteristics of the TC4 titanium alloy in different states, and the problems of the TC4 titanium alloy in different periods are treated in stages, so that the conversion of beta opposite alpha phases is promoted to the maximum extent, the structure crystal grains are refined, and the residual stress is reduced. Aiming at the characteristic that a large amount of metastable beta-phase exists in TC4 titanium alloy after free forging (namely thermal deformation) in a two-phase region, a forging workpiece is subjected to a combination mode of solid solution treatment, cryogenic treatment and annealing treatment, so that the transformation of the metastable beta-phase is promoted to be full, the structure is more stable, crystal grains can be refined, and the material performance is improved. For the thin-wall workpiece d after rough machining and semi-finish machining, because the TC4 titanium alloy has large cutting force, large resilience and high cutting temperature, the machined thin-wall workpiece d has large residual stress, and the residual stress in the thin-wall workpiece d is relaxed by adopting cold-hot cyclic treatment, namely multiple cold-hot alternate cyclic treatment, so that the aim of eliminating the residual stress is fulfilled.
In this embodiment, in step S8, a fixture matched with the thin-walled workpiece e subjected to the cooling and heating cycle processing in step S7 is used for clamping, so as to ensure that the thin-walled workpiece e is uniformly stressed and does not deform, and then the thin-walled workpiece e is subjected to finish machining. And (3) during the finish machining of the workpiece, clamping by using a clamp matched with the structure of the thin-wall workpiece e after the cold-hot circulation treatment in the step (S7), attaching the clamp to the curved surface of the structure of the thin-wall workpiece e, and performing finish machining to reduce the deformation of the thin-wall workpiece e in the finish machining process. After finish machining is finished, the thin-wall workpiece f and the clamp are integrally placed in a deep cooling box to carry out stepped deep cooling treatment, the size of the thin-wall workpiece f is stabilized, and deformation of the thin-wall workpiece f in the unloading and stepped deep cooling treatment processes is avoided.
In this embodiment, the jig is made of TC4 titanium alloy. So as to avoid the difference between the expansion coefficients of the material of the clamp and the TC4 titanium alloy, which causes the generation of additional stress.
In this embodiment, the step cryogenic treatment in step S9 specifically includes: cooling to minus 80 plus or minus 5 ℃, preserving heat for 2h to 6h, then continuously cooling to minus 130 plus or minus 5 ℃, preserving heat for 2h to 6h, then cooling to minus 190 plus or minus 6 ℃, preserving heat for 6h to 48h, and finally heating to room temperature. And integrally placing the thin-wall workpiece f and the clamp into a deep cooling box to carry out stepped deep cooling treatment. The stepped cryogenic treatment is beneficial to uniform cooling of the thin-wall workpiece f, and new stress generated in the cooling process of the thin-wall workpiece f is avoided. The thin-wall workpiece f is stable in size by utilizing the stepped cryogenic treatment, and the precision is improved. The temperature reduction is carried out at three stages of-80 +/-5 ℃, 80 +/-5 ℃ and 190 +/-6 ℃ respectively, so that the thin-wall workpiece f is in stable transition in the temperature reduction process.
In this embodiment, the cooling rate is 0.5 ℃/min to 3 ℃/min. The rate of temperature rise is 0.5-3 ℃/min. The cooling rate is 0.5-3 ℃/min, namely, the temperature is slowly reduced, so that the thin-wall workpiece f is uniformly cooled, and the phenomenon that the temperature difference exists locally to generate new stress is avoided.
In this embodiment, the cycle number of the cold-heat cycle treatment in step S7 is 2 to 4, the cold-heat cycle treatment includes a cryogenic treatment and a heat treatment, the temperature of the cryogenic treatment is-180 ℃ to-196 ℃, the heat preservation time is 3h to 24h, the temperature of the heat treatment is 160 ℃ to 200 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 4h to 24h. In the step S7, the thin-wall workpiece d is subjected to a cooling-heating cycle to relax the residual stress in the thin-wall workpiece d, so as to eliminate the residual stress in the machining process.
Preferably, the cold-hot circulation treatment is carried out by firstly carrying out heat treatment and then carrying out cryogenic treatment to finish one cold-hot circulation treatment, and so on until all cold-hot circulation treatments are finished. More preferably, the number of cycles of the cold-hot cycle treatment is 3.
See table 1 for the effect of heat treatment and cryogenic treatment on residual stress, wherein the samples were not subjected to the cold-hot cycle treatment, the heat treatment was the samples subjected to the heat treatment only, the cryogenic treatment of 12h + the heat treatment was carried out 12h after the cryogenic treatment, and the heat treatment + the cryogenic treatment of 12h was carried out 12h after the thermal treatment. As can be seen from table 1, the residual stress of the surface machining of the thin-wall workpiece d can be removed by more than 90% through the heat treatment and the cryogenic treatment, and the combined sequence of the cryogenic treatment and the heat treatment has a large influence on the effect of removing the residual stress, and the effect of removing the residual stress is the best in a manner of performing the cryogenic treatment after the heat treatment.

The cooling-heating cycle processing of the above step S7 is actually a combination of cryogenic treatment and heat treatment, and the TC4 titanium alloy structure can be stabilized by the cooling-heating cycle processing while removing the residual stress. In the cold and hot circulation process, the hardness of the thin-wall workpiece d after heat treatment is reduced, the hardness of the thin-wall workpiece d after subzero treatment is increased, but the hardness of the thin-wall workpiece d is gradually reduced along with the fluctuation range of the cold and hot circulation treatment along with the increase of the circulation times, which shows that the TC4 titanium alloy structure gradually tends to be stable in the cold and hot circulation process, is beneficial to the size stability of the TC4 titanium alloy high-precision curved surface thin-wall part in the processing and service processes, and improves the precision and the stability. Referring specifically to fig. 4, in fig. 4, the sample originally not subjected to the heat and cold cycle processing, H1C0, H1C1, H2C 3, H4C4, H1C1, H2C2, H3C, and H4C4 are samples subjected to the heat and cold cycles of the heat and cold processing, respectively, and the change in the microhardness is observed.
In this embodiment, the deep cooling process in step S4 includes: liquid nitrogen is used as a cooling medium, and the thin-wall workpiece a in the step S3 is subjected to subzero treatment in a subzero box; the temperature of the deep cooling treatment is-180 ℃ to-196 ℃, the cooling rate is 0.5 ℃/min to 3 ℃/min, and the heat preservation time is 6 to 48 hours. Liquid nitrogen is adopted as a cooling medium to carry out cryogenic treatment in a cryogenic box, the temperature is reduced to minus 180 ℃ to minus 196 ℃ at the temperature reduction rate of 0.5 ℃/min to 3 ℃/min, the heat preservation time is 6 to 48 hours at the temperature, so as to refine the grain size of the internal structure of the thin-wall workpiece a and improve the performance of the TC4 titanium alloy. The preliminary experiments in the early period find that the microstructure can be regulated and controlled to obtain better performance through three combined treatment modes of solution treatment, cryogenic treatment and annealing treatment, compared with the traditional treatment mode (solution treatment and annealing treatment, lack of cryogenic treatment), the microstructure of the solution treatment and the annealing treatment is analyzed through a scanning electron microscope, as shown in figures 2 and 3, the thickness of the precipitated lamellar structure (as shown in figure 3) is larger than that of the lamellar structure (as shown in figure 2) obtained through the traditional treatment, and the fatigue performance of the titanium alloy is favorably improved.
In this embodiment, the free forging temperature in step S1 is 820 to 920 ℃. And/or the temperature of the solution heat treatment in the step S3 is 900-960 ℃, and the heat preservation time is 90-300 min.
In this embodiment, the annealing temperature in step S5 is 550 ℃ to 700 ℃, and the annealing time is 2h to 12h. And/or the machining allowance in the step S6 is 0.2 mm-0.8 mm. The temperature of the annealing treatment in the step S5 is 550 to 700 ℃, so as to further promote the transformation from the beta phase to the alpha phase and stabilize the internal structure of the thin-walled workpiece. The machining allowance in the step S6 is 0.2 mm-0.8 mm, and when the machining allowance is too large, large deformation is caused due to large cutting force during finish machining; when the machining allowance is too small, the cutting layer is mainly a hardened layer during finish machining, which affects the machining quality.
