Study on spinning forming process and performance of Al/Mg composite shell with grid inner ribs

  • 摘要: 带网格内筋铝/镁复合壳体兼具镁合金轻质高强和铝合金耐腐蚀的特性,其网格内筋结构可提高壳体整体强度,在航空航天和水下装备领域具有广阔的应用前景。本文通过在铝管内表面预制螺纹槽结构,利用内旋压成形工艺使镁管材料填充槽道,随后设计分瓣式网格筋芯模,采用外旋压成形工艺在镁管内表面成形完整的网格筋结构,成功制备出具有三维机械互锁界面的带网格内筋铝/镁复合壳体。基于Abaqus数值模拟结合实验研究了成形工艺对其微观组织与力学性能的影响规律。研究结果表明:在旋压载荷作用下镁合金填充入螺纹槽槽道中,随着减薄率增大螺纹槽填充率提高,减薄率增至25%时填充效果趋于饱和,在外旋压成形过程中减薄率为40%时网格内筋成形质量最佳,且界面由镁管材料单向嵌入铝管预制螺纹槽演变为铝管与镁管双向填充的波纹状机械互锁界面。两步旋压成形试验后镁侧晶粒表现出细-粗-细特征,而铝侧晶粒尺寸由内层到外层逐渐减小,微纳力学性能测试显示,镁侧内层和外层硬度高于中间区域,铝侧硬度由外层向内层递减。两步旋压工艺成形的带网格内筋铝/镁复合壳体质量优良,解决了在网格筋部位的变形不协调及界面结合弱的难题。

     

    Abstract: The Al/Mg composite shell with internal grid ribs combines the lightweight and high-strength properties of magnesium alloys with the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys. Its grid-rib structure enhances the overall strength of the shell, offering broad application prospects in aerospace and underwater equipment. In this paper, threaded grooves were prefabricated on the inner surface of the aluminum tube, and an internal spinning process was employed to fill the grooves with magnesium tube material. Subsequently, a segmented grid rib core mold was designed, and an external spinning process was used to form a complete grid rib structure on the inner surface of the magnesium tube. The Al/Mg composite shell with grid inner ribs and a three-dimensional mechanical interlocking interface was successfully fabricated. The influence of the forming process on its microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated using Abaqus numerical simulation combined with experiments. The results indicate that under spinning load, the magnesium alloy fills the threaded grooves. The filling rate increases with the thinning rate, tending to saturate when the thinning rate reaches 25%. During the external spinning process, optimal forming quality of the grid inner ribs is achieved at a thinning rate of 40%, and the interface evolves from unidirectional embedding of magnesium tube material into the prefabricated grooves of the aluminum tube to a corrugated mechanical interlocking interface with bidirectional filling between the aluminum and magnesium tubes. After the two-step spinning process, the magnesium side exhibits a fine-coarse-fine grain structure, while the grain size on the aluminum side gradually decreases from the inner to the outer layer. Micro-nano mechanical property tests reveal that the hardness of the inner and outer layers on the magnesium side is higher than that of the middle layer, and the hardness on the aluminum side decreases from the inner to the outer layer. The Al/Mg composite shell with internal grid ribs formed by the two-step spinning process exhibits excellent quality, effectively solving the problems of deformation incompatibility and weak interfacial bonding at the grid rib locations.
