Affiliated technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of subtend agitating friction technology, applicable to the preparation or the solid-state Mixing Machine alloying of the welding of material, material modification, composite.
Background technology
Agitating friction solder technology (Friction Stir Welding, FSW) be 1991 by Britain's institute of welding (The Welding Institute, TWI) Fa Ming (patent No. US5460317,1991.12.), caused new technological revolution at the welding field of Al, Mg, Cu and alloy thereof and iron and steel, plastics.The basic principle of this technology is to utilize the stirring-head (comprising mixing needle) of rotation at a high speed to be inserted in the weld seam, utilize the strong friction and the stirring action of stirring-head, make the weld metal zone material be in the thermoplasticity state and be broken, mix, then under certain transverse pressure effect by seam together.Stirring-head pushes forward along the weld metal zone in rotation, thereby forms weld seam at the stirring-head rear, reaches the purpose of solid-state welding.The agitating friction solder technology is and adopts cantilevered unidirectional solder technology at present, promptly adopt a stirring-head from being welded by a surface of weldering mother metal, therefore in the moving process of stirring-head, welded mother metal will will produce a very big moment of flexure effect to mixing needle.The size of moment of flexure is with being increased by the thickness of weldering mother metal, and therefore welding mother metal thickness is subjected to very big restriction.For the welding of softer aluminium alloy, its maximum ga(u)ge can only reach 100 millimeter at present, and is to adopt two procedures, promptly earlier from a face welding, welds from another face then.In addition, in the unidirectional stir friction welding process, the Temperature Distribution on the joint thickness direction is very inhomogeneous, has bigger thermograde, makes the institutional framework of weld metal zone there are differences on thickness direction.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem that the present invention solves is: overcome existing agitating friction technology and stir the more shallow shortcoming of the degree of depth, but a kind of subtend agitating friction technology of machining thick plates is provided.This technology is not only applicable to the welding of material, can be used for the modification of material, the preparation of composite and the mechanical alloying of material yet.
Technical solution of the present invention is: subtend agitating friction method, its characteristics are: the mixing needle that adopts two coaxial symmetrical stirring-heads and a perforation is as workpiece, and mixing needle is fixed on the axial of two stirring-heads, specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) treating that weldment (or raw material) is fixed on the workbench with the rigidity anchor clamps;
(2) mixing needle is contained in the stirring-head, rotates at a high speed stirring-head subsequently and along treating that weldment (or raw material) inserts until perforation, and go up and stir the shaft shoulder and contact with the upper surface for the treatment of weldment (or raw material) tightly;
(3) other end of the mixing needle that connects is fixed on down in the stirring-head, and the stirring shaft shoulder is contacted with the lower surface for the treatment of weldment (or raw material) tightly;
(4) stirring-head is rotated at a high speed, utilize the stirring shaft shoulder to treat weldment (or raw material) simultaneously and apply certain stirring pressure.After the stirring area for the treatment of weldment (or raw material) reaches certain temperature, the surface to be welded (or raw material) for the treatment of weldment is pushed forward with respect to stirring-head;
(5) unclamp following stirring-head, and stirring-head withdraws from mixing needle on promoting from treat weldment (or raw material).
The rotary speed of the high speed rotation in above-mentioned steps (2) and the step (4) is ω=100-3000 rev/min; The translational speed of the stirring-head in the step (4) be 0.01-50 rice/minute, stirring pressure is 10-400MPa.
Principle of the present invention is: mixing needle is regarded as cantilever beam, and then in the moving process of stirring-head, mixing needle is subjected to being stirred the moment of flexure effect of material.Suppose that moment of flexure increases with the distance of distance fulcrum is linear, the moment of flexure that mixing needle is subjected in the then unidirectional agitating friction process distributes as shown in Figure 1a.Wherein L is the length (the stirring degree of depth) of mixing needle working position, and Tmax is a maximal bending moment.Suppose to adopt subtend agitating friction technology, promptly cantilever beam (mixing needle) has two fulcrums.When the length L of cantilever beam was constant, then maximal bending moment was Tmax/2, shown in Fig. 1 b; Tmax is constant as maximal bending moment, and then the length of cantilever beam will be increased to 2L, shown in Fig. 1 c.As seen, under the constant prerequisite of other condition, adopt the agitating friction technology of subtend, can make and stir degree of depth L and increase.
It is as follows that the present invention and existing agitating friction technology are compared the advantage that has:
(1) the stirring area degree of depth increases substantially;
(2) Temperature Distribution of stirring area and organize more even.
