Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of device that forges field, specifically a kind of aircraft spherical shell ausforming device.
Background technology
In space flight and aviation aircraft parts are produced, controlling under optimum lot size production time condition, guarantee that the tactics processing performance of Element Design is basic task.
In aircraft, from the metal wastage viewpoint, the body that relates to various geometries is maximum.These parts should have high unit strength (breaking load and mass ratio), because changes in environmental conditions is very big in actual use, likely meet with very big load.
In manufacturing the aircraft parts, be widely used high strength titanium alloy TC4, BT14, BT20, BT23.These alloys have that high pressure-bearing, quality are little, the characteristics of high corrosion-resistant life.But, due to material high strength and inductile, under the pressure processing condition, problem has appearred.Addressing these problems future directions, be in the inferior temperature and pressure power processing of certain speed~temperature conditions, at this moment deformable material shows visco-plasticity and VISCOUS FLOW, can be under relatively low technique power material production large deformation and not destroying more, to guarantee the precision of the high physical dimension parameter of filling shape degree and part.
For taking up the fuel spherical shell, dividing plate is typical part, its traditional processing technology is that multiple operation stretches on forcing press, inter process also will heat, or at the hammer die forging.
These techniques existing problems are, because the precision level that has the residual stress part is low, residual stress causes the External Shape distortion, for subsequent handling, needs pincers worker to a large amount of reconditionings of part, think that follow-up argon arc welding or electron beam welding prepare.In many cases, residual stress exists in original blank and distortion sheet material, and it causes the anisotropic mechanical property of part and unhomogeneity of deformation.
Through the retrieval to prior art, find; Chinese patent literature CN1814371 open day 2006~08~09; put down in writing a kind of titanium alloy spherical shell superplastic manufacturing process; this technology is put into counterdie by titanium alloy blank; heating by electric cooker is incubated while being warming up to the lower limit temperature of shaping; be incubated rear hydraulic press depress to just as the time continue to heat up, during to the maximum temperature that reaches shaping, stop being shaped, once circulation finishes; Start to heat up while being cooled to lower 50 ℃~80 ℃ of the lower limit temperature of shaping, start to be shaped to the lower limit temperature be shaped, stop moulding while reaching the moulding maximum temperature again, secondary cycle finishes, and so through repeatedly being circulated to moulding, completes; In described forming method, the temperature range of moulding is 800 ℃~900 ℃ and only moulding in temperature-rise period, and range of temperature is 100 ℃, shaping speed 0.6mm/min~1.0mm/min.Can be used for

The following different-diameter of 800mm, the moulding of different wall titanium alloy spherical shell, utilize this process to provide required withstand voltage ball for bathyscaph, and the titanium alloy spherical shell inner surface of moulding is without processing, and outer surface and top allowance are very little.This manufacturing process is called the environment superplasticity, but the prior art need to repeatedly heat up, lower the temperature in the set point of temperature scope, can bring variations in temperature stress to mould undoubtedly, reduces die life; Again because of the cooling that repeatedly heats up, thereby reduce productivity ratio, cause manufacturing cost can not to be in any more; Easily in blank surface, form not only hard but also crisp α shell in this technology implementation process simultaneously, not only reduce Product Precision, more can cause properties of product to descend.
Also there is the die forging cubic deformation in prior art; but because it does not all relate to stabilisation heat treatment; cause in workpiece and have residual stress; it will cause anisotropic mechanical property and the unhomogeneity of deformation of part; blank in heating process is not carried out to effectively anti-oxidation, anti-operation of inhaling the hydrogen protection in prior art simultaneously yet; the final performance of product will certainly be affected, and also specification requirement can't be met far away on the Product Precision that obtains of prior art.
