Description

Nitriding processing method of TC6 titanium alloy actuator cylinder for aerospace
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of aerospace manufacturing, in particular to a nitriding processing method of a TC6 titanium alloy actuator cylinder for aerospace.
Background
The titanium alloy has two remarkable advantages of high specific strength and good corrosion resistance, has excellent properties of high specific strength, high fatigue performance, high corrosion resistance, low expansion coefficient, high stability and the like, and has good application prospect in the field of aerospace. However, the titanium alloy component is easy to adhere and mesh in the assembly process due to low surface strength and low heat conductivity of the titanium alloy, so that the titanium alloy component has poor wear resistance, and parts are easy to fail and even break. In order to improve the wear resistance of the titanium alloy, the surface strength can be increased by carrying out surface modification treatment through a nitriding process, so that the service life of the part is prolonged.
At present, the nitriding process of the titanium alloy is rarely used in China, and most of the nitriding processes are simple parts manufactured by TC4 titanium alloy, and few reports are made on the nitriding process of the TC6 titanium alloy. The TC6 titanium alloy actuator cylinder for aviation has very high requirements on the surface strength, the wear resistance and the dimensional accuracy of parts, and particularly has more severe control requirements on the deformation of an inner hole.
After nitriding of the titanium alloy, a nitride layer and a solid solution layer can be formed on the surface, the nitriding temperature is an influencing factor of the maximum thickness of the nitride layer, and the nitriding depth can be improved by prolonging the nitriding time. Although the wear resistance of the alloy can be greatly improved after nitriding treatment, the microstructure and mechanical properties of a matrix can be influenced by the excessively high nitriding temperature, meanwhile, the deformation of a part can reach 0.15-0.20 mm, and the effective hardening layer depth is too shallow due to the excessively low temperature, so that the wear resistance of the part is difficult to effectively improve. Therefore, the requirements of the depth of the nitriding layer, the surface hardness, the mechanical property of the matrix and the deformation control of the inner hole of the part are simultaneously met, and the method is a difficulty in the control of the nitriding process of the TC6 titanium alloy actuator cylinder.
