航空发动机螺栓连接件拧紧力矩与松脱试验研究

Study on Tightening Torque and Loosening Tests of Bolted Joints in Aircraft Engines

  • 摘要: 针对航空发动机螺栓连接件拧紧力矩与预紧力取值不明确、服役过程易松脱的问题,以 MJ5、MJ6、MJ8 三种典型规格螺栓/螺母为研究对象,开展多工况试验研究。开展了石墨油膏润滑与无润滑两种条件下,40CrNiMoA、ZL114A和GH4169的力矩-预紧力试验,分析扭拉系数与预紧力变化规律;通过极限拧紧破坏试验测试连接件极限承载能力,并确定最大安装预紧力;基于螺栓实际服役工况,在30 Hz、振幅 11.43 mm 的条件下开展松脱试验,明确防松所需最小装配力矩。试验结果表明:石墨油膏润滑可显著降低扭拉系数、提升预紧力,且反复拆装后参数波动仅7%;被连接件强度越高,力矩向预紧力的转化效率越好;螺栓受拉扭复合作用会提前失效,其极限预紧力为实测抗拉载荷的67.5%~81.9%;拧紧力矩不低于标准值 0.8 倍可有效抵御振动松脱。结合试验数据,得到不同螺母、不同被连接件材料对应的拧紧力矩推荐区间,可为航空发动机螺栓连接件装配工艺制定与可靠性提升提供试验支撑。

     

    Abstract: To address the issues of unclear torque and preload values for bolted connections in aircraft engines and their susceptibility to loosening during service, this study conducted multi-condition experimental research on three typical bolt/nut specifications: MJ5, MJ6, and MJ8. Torque-preload tests were performed under three different material conditions for connected components (graphite grease lubrication, 40CrNiMoA, ZL114A, and GH4169), analyzing the variation patterns of torque-preload coefficients. Through ultimate tightening failure tests, the load-bearing capacity of the connections was evaluated, and a safety factor of 0.7 was applied to determine the maximum installation preload. Loose tests were conducted under vibration conditions at 30 Hz and an amplitude of 11.43 mm to identify the minimum assembly torque required for anti-loosening. The results showed that graphite grease lubrication significantly reduces torque-preload coefficients and enhances preload, with parameter fluctuations of only 7% after repeated disassembly and assembly. Higher strength of connected components leads to better torque-to-preload conversion efficiency. Bolt failure under combined tension and torsion occurs prematurely, with its ultimate preload being 67.5%~81.9% of the measured tensile load. A tightening torque not less than 0.8 times the standard value can effectively prevent vibration-induced loosening. Based on the experimental data, recommended torque ranges for different nuts and connected component materials were derived, providing experimental support for the formulation of assembly processes and reliability improvement of bolted connections in aircraft engines.
