预制螺纹结构钛/铝复合壳体旋压成形性能研究

Study on the spin forming performance of titanium/aluminum composite shells with prefabricated threaded structure

  • 摘要: 结合钛合金高强度、耐腐蚀、轻量化和铝合金低密度、塑性性能好、成本低等的优势,制备钛/铝复合壳体在航空航天、水下装备等领域具有广泛的应用前景。本文通过在外层钛合金壳体内表面预制螺纹槽结构,通过内旋压成形方法制备出具有三维机械镶嵌连接界面的钛/铝复合壳体。采用ABAQUS数值模拟方法结合试验对复合壳体的成形性能、微观结构和力学性能进行了研究。研究结果表明:在内旋压成形过程中,外层TA2管不发生塑性变形,起到了支撑作用,塑性变形发生在内层5A06管,在旋压载荷作用下,铝合金嵌入到螺纹槽内部。减薄率选取区间为15%-30%,当减薄率为30%时,5A06管内表面塑性应变过大,坯料堆积严重,旋压中断。随着减薄率的增加,5A06管的等效塑性应变和螺纹槽填充率都随之增加。旋压成形后,5A06管沿径向从外层到内层的晶粒尺寸变得更细,晶粒分布更均匀。5A06管的硬度沿管径向方向从外层到内层逐渐增大,内层表面硬度较基材提高了11.8%,极限抗拉强度和屈服强度较基材分别提高了15.5%和19.3%。

     

    Abstract: Combining the advantages of titanium alloys, such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties, with those of aluminum alloys, including low density, excellent plasticity, and low cost, the preparation of titanium/aluminum composite shells was considered to have broad application prospects in aerospace, underwater equipment, and other fields. This study fabricated a titanium/aluminum composite shells with a three-dimensional mechanically interlocking interface by pre-machining threaded grooves on the inner surface of the outer titanium alloy shell and employing internal spinning forming. The forming performance, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the composite shell were investigated using ABAQUS numerical simulation combined with experimental methods. The results indicate that during the internal spinning process, the outer TA2 shell does not undergo plastic deformation and instead serves as a supporting structure, while plastic deformation occurs on the inner 5A06 tube. Under the spinning load, the aluminum alloy flows into the threaded grooves. The reduction rate is selected in the range of 15-30%, when the reduction rate reaches 30%, excessive plastic strain occurs on the inner surface of the 5A06 tube, resulting in severe material accumulation and leading to spinning failure. As the reduction rate increases, equivalent plastic strain and threaded groove fill rate of 5A06 tube increase with it. After spin forming, the grain size of the 5A06 tube becomes finer and the grain distribution more uniform along the radial direction from the outer layer to the inner layer. The hardness of the 5A06 tube gradually increases along the radial direction from the outer layer to the inner layer, with the hardness of the inner surface increasing by 11.8% compared to the base material. The ultimate tensile strength and yield strength are enhanced by 15.5% and 19.3%, respectively, relative to the base material.
