基于冰界面粘附固持的TC4钛合金薄壁件切削变形研究

Study on cutting deformation of thin-walled TC4 titanium alloy components based on adhesion and retention at the ice interface

  • 摘要: 复杂薄壁结构件在装夹过程中会因其弱刚性而产生装夹变形,而机械加工过程中机械-热载荷耦合作用下产生的加工残余应力在解除装夹约束后,会通过应力的重平衡引发宏观结构变形,导致精度超差影响产品质量。为此,提出一种液氮冷却与冰装夹协同的复合加工策略,以同步减小装夹变形和残余应力释放变形。采用正弦衰减函数对铣削残余应力分布进行参数化表征,基于弹性理论建立了钛合金薄板铣削弯曲变形的解析解;基于焓-孔隙率方法建立了水相变传热与力学耦合的数值模型,获取了水冰冻固持薄壁件的装夹的低应力分布状态;为分析低温加工应力分布规律,结合材料低温本构、刀-工件接触关系等建立了低温铣削薄板的三维切削有限元模型;开展了钛合金薄板的铣削实验,分析了切削过程中的铣削力/热大小,结果表明,相较于传统装夹方式,冰固持装夹使工件装夹变形减小了52.6%,装夹应力降低了36.4%,使加工区域内装夹应力几乎为零应力状态。在液氮冷却条件下进行的冰固持低温铣削实验,其进给方向与法向切削力峰值相比常规加工分别提高了46.82% 和56.98%,而铣削温度则降低了50.8%。加工后工件表面应力状态均由拉应力转变为压应力,且压应力影响层更深;与干切削相比,加工变形减小了23.2%。

     

    Abstract: Complex thin-walled structural components undergo clamping deformation during fixture mounting due to their low rigidity. Residual stresses from machining, coupled with mechanical-thermal loading, induce macroscopic structural deformation through stress rebalancing once clamping constraints are released, resulting in dimensional deviations and degraded product quality. To address this, a composite machining strategy combining liquid nitrogen cooling with ice clamping to simultaneously minimize clamping deformation and residual stress release deformation was proposed. A sinusoidal decay function was employed to parameterize the distribution of milling residual stresses. An analytical solution for bending deformation during milling of titanium alloy thin plates was derived based on elasticity theory. A numerical model coupling water phase-change heat transfer with mechanics was developed using the enthalpy-porosity method, to obtain the low-stress distribution state of thin-walled components during ice-fixture clamping. To analyze stress distribution patterns in cryogenic machining, a three-dimensional cutting finite element model for cryogenic milling of thin plates was established, incorporating material's low-temperature constitutive behavior and tool-workpiece contact relationships. Milling experiments on titanium alloy sheets were conducted to analyze cutting forces and heat generation during machining. Results indicate that ice-clamping reduced workpiece deformation by 52.6% and clamping stress by 36.4% compared to conventional clamping methods, achieving near-zero clamping stress in the machining zone. Low-temperature milling experiments under liquid nitrogen cooling conditions achieved feed rates 46.82% higher and peak normal cutting forces 56.98% greater than conventional machining, while reducing milling temperatures by 50.8%. Post-machining surface stress states transitioned from tensile to compressive stress, with a deeper influence layer. Compared to dry cutting, machining deformation decreased by 23.2%.
