Description

A kind of sheet metal of continuous bend

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of sheet metal, a kind of laser bend forming processes the sheet metal of the continuous bend obtained specifically.

Background technology

The formed machining of sheet metal occupies quite heavy ratio in Aeronautics and Astronautics, automobile, boats and ships and civilian industry.Quantity as sheet material forming part accounts for 1/2 of airplane parts sum, and the material that the whole world produces according to statistics has and is more than halfly processed to sheet material.Therefore, corresponding forming technique is improved and manufacture level is a problem be of universal significance.

The key problem of modern sheet material forming technology embodies a concentrated reflection of simplified design, improve quality, shortening cycle, the aspect such as to reduce costs.Traditional forming technique needs, according to plate shape, to manufacture corresponding tool and mould usually, and this not only requires a great deal of time and fund, but also will take considerable human resources, certainly will increase product cost.In large-scale plate is shaped, these expenses are more expensive.For the large-sized sheet material part of small lot, particularly so.

Laser bend forming, also Laser Thermal Stress Forming is claimed, it is that the fuel factor utilizing laser irradiation to produce at material surface is shaped, namely time with high energy laser beam scanning sheet metal, define the uneven temperature field all very large to room and time gradient in the region of laser beam irradiation, thus bring out unbalanced stress on sheet metal thickness direction sheet material is deformed.The advantages such as it, from traditional to complete the method for Plastic Forming by mould different, have with short production cycle, that cost is low feature, have flexible large simultaneously due to the process principle of its uniqueness, the fragile material that is difficult to shaping at normal temperatures of being shaped.

Laser bend forming principle as shown in Figure 1, when the laser beam of high order focusing scans along plate upper surface (as Suo Shi Fig. 1 (a)), sharply risen by the material instantaneous temperature of sweep test, and plate lower surface does not significantly change instantaneously at this thus forms strong thermograde in thickness of slab direction, due to the thermal expansion of heating region material, material is made to produce recurvate plastic deformation; When after laser beam transfer (as Suo Shi Fig. 1 (b)), top surface temperature declines, due to heat trnasfer, temperature rises lower surface material, thermograde on thickness of slab direction is sharply declined, such top surface is shunk and lower surface material expansion, and the material that upper surface has been piled up is difficult to restore, when the thermograde of upper and lower surface material is zero, the metallic fiber of top surface just than lower surface material come short, create and bend towards by the forward according to laser scanning course bearing.

But in process, the thermal stress of induction need exceed the yield limit of material, sheet material could be out of shape, therefore sheet material needs ten several secondary shuttle-scanning even up to a hundred, and in heat scan process so repeatedly, the factors such as heat accumulation, material deformation, performance change make the deflection controlling material become difficulty, not easily realize, the particularly continuous bend distortion of material, need to implement the operation of multi-pass shuttle-scanning to material, situation is more complicated.

Summary of the invention

Namely object of the present invention is the sheet metal of the continuous bend providing a kind of laser bend forming to prepare.

For achieving the above object, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is: step one), according to length determination laser scanning passage number and every time the shuttle-scanning number of times of the processing of processed workpiece actual needs; Step 2), cleaning processed workpiece surface, and pretreatment is carried out to processed workpiece and fixes; Step 3), the laser instrument that computerizeds control is with step one) in the passage number determined and reciprocal time processed workpiece is scanned; Step 4), after workpiece to be treated cools naturally after completion of processing, it is taken out from fixture and implements to measure verification.

Processed part is generally austenitic stainless steel thin plate (such as 0Cr18Ni9), carbon steel thin plate etc.; Steel plate thickness is generally 0.1-0.15mm.

Step one) in, the determination of scanning passage number obtains divided by the interval between passage by the length of processed workpiece actual needs processing; The preferred 1.5-2mm in interval between passage, and every time shuttle-scanning number of times preferably 10 times, this will the processing curvature of thin plate be made basicly stable owing to so setting, and the impact between each passage is less.

Step 2) in, after adopting emery paper to polish to remove foreign matter to processed workpiece surface, and carry out on surface applying pitch-dark pretreatment to increasing the assimilation effect of laser energy; The fixing of processed workpiece is pressed in middle realization preferably by two pieces of glass plates, bends or mobile grade and affect once the accurate location of passage to avoid processed workpiece in process.

Step 3) in, laser beam spot diameter is 0.1mm, power is 20-25W, sweep speed is 15-20mm, this is due to the energy density under this bundle spot and power, obtains maximum curvature, if sweep speed is too small under this sweep speed, then hot-spot and residual stress that front a time laser irradiation is produced slows down to some extent, sweep speed is excessive, and the part making sheet material inside produce stress diminishes, in addition, passage order take by scanning sequence from two ends to center (as in Fig. 2 label order, from 1. to 6. sequential scanning), namely first one end (being called first end) the outermost passage of processed workpiece is scanned, then the other end (being called the second end) outermost passage is scanned, again time outside passage of first end next-door neighbour outermost passage is scanned, then time outside passage of the second end next-door neighbour outermost passage is scanned, order like this is until the center passage of processed workpiece, the end of scan, such arrangement scanning sequency is in order to avoid influencing each other and obtaining stable curvature between passage.

Step 4) in, after the end of scan, leave standstill processed workpiece and naturally cool under room temperature environment, remove fixture, take out processed workpiece and implement to measure verification, finally complete the processing to thin plate.

By said method step, can obtain and have compared with deep camber and the metallic plate of continuous bend.

Advantage of the present invention is: by selecting suitable in laser bending shaping method and the technological parameter of uniqueness, achieves the deflection that accurately controls sheet metal and obtains the sheet metal of continuous bend distortion.

Detailed description of the invention

Below, by specific embodiment, the present invention is described in detail.

Embodiment.

Using the 0Cr18Ni9 stainless sheet steel of 0.15mm thickness as processed workpiece, the long 25mm of thin plate (actual needs processing part is about 20mm), wide 5mm.Interval between passage is set as 2mm, calculates thus and scans 10 passages altogether, every time shuttle-scanning 10 times.After adopting emery paper to polish to remove foreign matter to processed workpiece surface, carry out on surface applying pitch-dark pretreatment, then thin plate is pressed between two pieces of glass plates.Setting laser beam spot diameter, is 0.1mm, and power is 22W, and sweep speed is 18mm, carries out according to by the scanning sequence of thin plate two ends to center.After the end of scan, leave standstill processed workpiece and naturally cool under room temperature environment, remove fixture, take out processed workpiece and implement to measure verification, the curvature recording thin plate is about 0.05mm ^-1, finally complete the processing to thin plate.
