Detailed Description
In the following, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
First, the technical concept of the technical solution disclosed in the present invention will be explained. At present, two problems commonly exist in the production of ultra-large forgings, namely, the manufacturing process of ultra-large steel ingots and the forming process of ultra-large forgings. The traditional manufacturing process of the oversized steel ingot has the following problems: the manufacturing process is complex and needs to be customized independently; the problems of segregation, looseness, uneven element distribution and the like generally occur in the manufacturing process due to different cooling speeds of all parts and the like; and the material utilization rate is low, and about 20% -35% of materials at a water gap, a riser and the like need to be cut off. The problems commonly existing in the process of manufacturing the wheel band forging by adopting the traditional free forging process are as follows: the diameter of a forged piece is generally smaller than 7500mm under the limitation of equipment factors such as the opening size of an oil press and the like; the forging fire is more, and the internal structure of the forging is poor in homogenization; the surface quality of the forged piece is poor, more machining allowance needs to be reserved, and the machining efficiency is low; and the manufacturing period is long, and the comprehensive production cost is high.
In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a novel manufacturing process for ultra-large wheel band forgings. The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The specific scheme is as follows:
FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating one embodiment of a process for manufacturing a very large wheel band forging. As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment provides a manufacturing process of an ultra-large wheel band forging, which includes the following steps:
(1) carrying out heat treatment on the plate blank to eliminate the structural stress of the plate blank;
(2) cutting the plate blank according to a preset size to prepare a unit blank;
(3) milling the unit blanks to enable the roughness of the unit blanks to reach a preset roughness threshold, and cleaning and polishing the milled unit blanks to enable the cleanliness of the unit blanks to reach the preset cleanliness threshold;
(4) stacking the treated unit blanks on a stacking platform according to a preset sequence to obtain stacking blanks;
(5) putting the whole stacking blank into a vacuum chamber for vacuum electron beam sealing welding to prepare a sealing welding blank;
(6) forging and cogging the seal-welded blank, wherein the forging and cogging at least comprises one or more of upsetting, drawing, punching and reaming;
(7) and rolling and forming the seal welding blank by radial-axial rolling to obtain the ultra-large wheel belt forging.
In the manufacturing process of the ultra-large wheel band forging piece, the structural stress of the plate blank is eliminated through the step (1), so that the sealing and welding quality of the plate blank in the subsequent steps can be guaranteed. And then cutting the plate blank into unit blanks, and milling, cleaning and polishing the cut unit blanks to ensure that the roughness and the cleanliness of the unit blanks reach the standards, so that the quality of the seal-welded blanks in the subsequent steps can be ensured. And stacking the unit blanks according to a preset sequence to prepare a stacked blank, and integrally filling the stacked blank into a vacuum chamber by adopting a vacuum electron beam sealing and welding technology to seal and weld to prepare the steel ingot with the super-large size.
Compared with the traditional die casting process, the process for manufacturing the oversized steel ingot by adopting the metal construction blank process has the following advantages:
(1) and the homogenization manufacturing of large-size metal devices is realized. A plurality of metal blanks with smaller volumes are used as construction elements, the component uniformity of the metal blanks is far better than that of a large metal blank integrally cast in the prior art due to high solidification speed, and large-size metal devices constructed on the basis do not have obvious macrosegregation.
(2) Realizing the densification manufacturing of large-size metal devices. A plurality of metal blanks with smaller volumes are used as construction elements, and because the solidification speed is high, the simultaneous solidification can be almost realized, and the concentrated shrinkage cavities in the blanks are less loose. After deformation, heat preservation and multidirectional forging of the welding interface, the compactness is higher than that of a forging piece made of a traditional integral casting blank.
(3) Realizing the purification manufacture of large-size metal devices. A plurality of metal blanks with smaller volumes are used as construction elements, and the preparation cost and difficulty are low, so that the purification of the elements can be realized by adopting various flexible refining methods, and the purity of large-size metal devices constructed on the basis is higher than that of forgings made of traditional integral casting blanks.
(4) Realizing low-cost manufacture of large-size metal devices. The metal blank with small volume can be prepared by adopting large production means such as continuous casting and the like, and the manufacturing cost is far lower than that of a die casting means which is required to be adopted for preparing the metal blank with large volume, so the manufacturing cost can be greatly reduced. In addition, the continuous casting billet is used as a construction element, the loss of a riser and a nozzle of the traditional steel ingot is avoided, and the material utilization rate can be effectively improved.
Meanwhile, the manufacturing process of the ultra-large wheel band forging of the embodiment adopts a radial-axial rolling process to replace the traditional free forging process to manufacture the ultra-large wheel band forging. At present, the manufacturing process of the wheel band forging is mainly divided into two processes of free forging and roll forming. It is difficult to manufacture a monolithic annular forging with a diameter greater than 7000mm due to the free forging process subject to the space constraints of the forging apparatus. The ring rolling process (ring rolling) is an internationally recognized near-net-shape forming advanced manufacturing process, is suitable for forming ring, disc and cylinder forgings, and has the characteristics of energy conservation, high efficiency and high material utilization rate compared with the traditional free forging process, and the rolled product has compact internal structure, fine grains and complete streamline, and has very important significance for improving the strength, the wear resistance and the fatigue life of a workpiece. The ring rolling process has two forms of radial rolling and radial-axial rolling, the radial rolling is mainly suitable for rolling small ring parts such as pipeline flanges, and the radial-axial rolling process is mostly adopted for large wheel band forgings. Compared with radial rolling, the radial-axial rolling process has the advantages that end face rollers are added, the cross section is compressed in the radial direction and the axial direction in the rolling process, the rolling process is more stable, the end face of the formed forge piece is smoother, and the rolling ratio of the forge piece is relatively larger.
Compared with the traditional free forging process, the radial-axial rolling process for manufacturing the ultra-large wheel band forging piece has the following advantages:
(1) the size of the forging is not limited by the size, and the diameter of the maximum wheel belt forging can reach 16 meters at present.
(2) The rolling of the wheel band forging is generally finished within 20 minutes, and due to the fact that the wheel band forging is uniformly deformed, the rolling time is short, and the internal structure is well homogenized.
(3) The forging has good surface quality and small machining allowance.
(4) Short manufacturing period and low comprehensive cost.
In this example, the temperature of the heat treatment in step (1) was 500 ℃ to 700 ℃.
In this embodiment, the milling in step (3) includes milling the upper and lower surfaces of the unit blank, and the milling removal amount is 2-5mm, so that the roughness of the upper and lower surfaces of the unit blank reaches ra 3.2-12.5. And (4) cleaning and polishing in the step (3) comprises cleaning and polishing the upper surface and the lower surface of the unit blank so that the cleanness of the upper surface and the lower surface of the unit blank reaches RFU (radio frequency unit) less than or equal to 20.0. For the unit blank, the upper surface and the lower surface of the blank are key surfaces, and the roughness and the cleanliness of the upper surface and the lower surface have great influence on the quality of the subsequent sealing and welding blank.
And further, milling four sides of the unit blank to enable the roughness of the four sides of the unit blank to reach Ra6.3-25.
In this embodiment, the vacuum electron beam sealing in step (5) adopts multi-stage sealing, wherein the multi-stage sealing at least includes one-stage unit blank vacuum sealing and two-stage truncated cone blank vacuum sealing. By adopting the multistage seal welding method, the limit capacity of the existing processing equipment can be fully utilized, the forged piece with the weight exceeding hundreds of tons can be manufactured, and the quality of the ultra-large wheel belt forged piece can be more effectively ensured by adopting the multistage seal welding.
Further, the air pressure of the vacuum chamber in the primary unit blank vacuum seal welding is not more than 10-2Pa, welding voltage of 80-100KV, welding current of 100-150mA, and welding speed of 150-300 mm/min. And putting the seal welding blank into a gas heating furnace, wherein the furnace temperature is 1150-1250 ℃. And (3) forging the seal welding blank in three directions, molding the seal welding blank into a circular truncated cone blank in a mold, and then processing the circular truncated cone blank by a circular truncated cone blank machine.
Further, the air pressure of the vacuum chamber in the vacuum sealing welding of the secondary truncated cone blank is not more than 10-2Pa, welding voltage of 80-100KV, welding current of 100-150mA, and platform rotation speed of 0.025-0.05 r/min. And (3) placing the secondary cone frustum blank into a gas heating furnace, wherein the furnace temperature is 1150-1250 ℃.
