残余应力分布对机床大件变形影响规律研究

Research on the influence law of residual stress distribution on the deformation of large machine tool components

  • 摘要: 为研究机床大型箱体类铸铁件在铸造及应力释放过程中铸件变形规律。以自研机器人加工制造单元的支撑工作台为研究对象,开展了铸造全过程多物理场数值模拟与区域应力-位移响应分析。首先,利用ProCAST软件对铸造过程进行热–力耦合模拟,获得铸件等效应力分布及关键点残余应力演化趋势,结果表明热应力是主要应力来源,而相变应力和阻碍应力的作用较小。其次,通过数值模拟方式进行模态分析,识别适宜激振点、激振频率与激振力,实现振动时效处理,并验证其对残余应力削减有效性,减小铸件在整机运行中残余应力释放导致的变形,以提高精度保持性。最后,基于铸件关键区域应力分布与几何结构特点,结合Python脚本实现对区域残余应力场的单独保留,探讨了局部应力释放对关键功能点变形的影响。结果表明,各功能区域单独加载所得的变形响应与五区域同时加载结果的相加误差极小,仅为0.069 μm(误差小于1%)。验证了残余应力诱导变形具有良好的线性叠加性。进一步通过引入“全域平均灵敏度”指标,量化分析了不同区域残余应力释放对结构变形的影响。研究结果为大型铸铁件残余应力控制与铸件应力检测区域的选择提供了理论依据。

     

    Abstract: To study the deformation behavior of large cast iron components, such as machine tool large box-type castings, during the casting and stress-relief processes, a self-developed robotic machining unit's supporting workbench was selected as the research object. Multiphysics field numerical simulation of the entire casting process and regional stress-displacement response analysis is involved. Firstly, the ProCAST software was used to simulate the thermal-mechanical coupling of the casting process, obtaining the equivalent stress distribution and the evolution trend of residual stress at key points. The results show that thermal stress is the primary source of stress, while phase transformation stress and constraint stress have a relatively small effect. Subsequently, modal analysis was conducted through numerical simulation to identify suitable excitation points, frequencies, and excitation forces. This enabled vibration stress relief and validated its effectiveness in reducing residual stress. This process reduces the deformation caused by residual stress release during the operation of the complete machine, improving dimensional stability. Finally, based on the stress distribution in the key regions of the casting and its geometric characteristics, a Python script was used to isolate the residual stress field in specific regions, exploring the effect of local stress release on the deformation of critical functional points. The results show that the deformation response obtained by separately loading each functional region has negligible errors, only 0.069 μm (error less than 1%) compared to the sum of the results from loading all five regions simultaneously, confirming that the deformation induced by residual stress has good linear superposition properties. Furthermore, by introducing the "global average sensitivity" index, the influence of residual stress release in different regions on structural deformation was quantitatively analyzed. The research results provide a theoretical basis for residual stress control in large cast iron components and the selection of regions for stress detection in castings.
