Neck-spinning quality analysis and optimization of process parameters for plunger components: Simulation and experimental study

The plunger component is a key part of the plunger pump in the aircraft hydraulic system. Neck-spinning process is commonly used to fabricate plunger components, of which the quality of the spinning process significantly affects the performance of plunger pumps. One of the bottlenecks faced by the industry in the spinning process is to choose a suitable neck-spinning process so as to ensure the quality of plunger components. It is necessary to propose a reliable method to optimize the process parameters which affect the neck-spinning quality of plunger components. In this study, a calculable finite element analysis (FEA) model is established to simulate the three-roller neck-spinning process of the plunger component, which includes six typical slipper structures, two roller structures, and two spinning parameters. The FEA model is then validated by comparing the simulated spinning forces with the corresponding experimental results. The influence of the process conditions on the neck-spinning quality is investigated. And the orthogonal simulation results are analyzed by a combination of range method and fuzzy mathematical analysis method to recommend a reasonable slipper structure, roller structure and neck-spinning parameters. This study provides a promising method to improve the manufacturing quality of the typical plunger components.     

GH625高温合金管缩径旋压成形数值模拟及试验研究

基于ABAQUS/Explicit平台建立了高温合金管缩径旋压三维弹塑性有限元模型,对GH625高温合金管缩径旋压成形过程进行了模拟分析,研究了轴向进给速度、旋轮圆角半径、旋轮安装角度对高温合金管缩径旋压成形质量的影响规律。研究结果表明,高温合金变径管在旋压过程中,随旋轮的轴向进给,不同的区域截面变化趋势不同。对工艺参数进行分析,发现轴向进给速度及旋轮圆角半径增大时,壁厚增大;旋轮安装角度对零件壁厚无明显影响;进给速度越大或圆角半径越大,截面椭圆度越大;距自由端较远时,旋轮安装角度越小,截面椭圆度越大;随着旋轮的进给,距自由端越近,椭圆度波动越严重。最后,根据数值模拟结果确定最终工艺参数为轴向进给速度0.25mm/r,圆角半径取值2~4mm,旋轮安装角度为90o,并进行了高温合金管缩径旋压试验,得到了较好的成形件。     

优化无焊缝钛内衬内表面质量的旋压工艺

针对复合材料压力容器用无焊缝TA1钛内衬,利用收口旋压实验和有限元模拟分析研究了两种典型收口旋压旋轮轨迹(水平直线和斜线轨迹)对旋压封头内表面缺陷的影响。结果表明:较斜线旋压,水平旋压后内表面褶皱等缺陷明显减少,说明水平旋压是一种优化无焊缝钛封头内表面质量的有效方式。有限元模拟分析表明:较斜线旋压,水平旋压每道次内表面的等效应变增量分布更均匀,并且多道次旋压后内表面的累积等效应变更小,说明水平旋压具有更均匀的变形特点和更少的应变累积,是内表面具有较弱褶皱趋势的主要原因。
