Description

Die-pressing quenching composite forming method for aluminum alloy plate and integrated device thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a metal material pressure processing technology and a device thereof, in particular to a hot forming method and a device thereof for metal material cold die quenching, which are applied to the technical field of plate forming and continuous forming.
Background
In order to meet the energy crisis and meet the rapid development requirements in the automobile field, the advanced manufacturing technology of parts, such as light weight, becomes the focus of attention in the manufacturing and processing field. One way of light weight is to optimize the design by using a brand new design concept, simplify the structure, reduce the weight and achieve the purpose of light structure; another effective approach is to use lightweight materials with low specific gravity, such as high-strength steel, aluminum-magnesium alloy, and carbon fiber, which are widely used in the automobile manufacturing industry. Compared with the traditional steel, the aluminum alloy has the density of steel 1/3 and high specific strength, and can easily realize the weight reduction of an automobile by more than 35% by replacing the steel. At present, 6000 series and 7000 series aluminum alloy materials are mainly applied to automobiles, and the strengthening phase of 6000 series alloy is mainly Mg2Si, so that the automobile alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, higher strength and plasticity and good comprehensive mechanical property. The 7000 series aluminum alloy has zinc as main alloy element, and can obtain higher strength, better corrosion resistance and good welding performance through a proper heat treatment process, but has lower plasticity.
Both 6000 series and 7000 series wrought aluminum alloys can be improved in strength by the solution + aging T6 heat treatment method. For the aluminum alloy parts, stamping forming is usually adopted at normal temperature, and then T6 solid solution and time-effect heat treatment are carried out on the taken parts. However, this method of cold forming has two problems: firstly, the poor normal temperature formability of the aluminum alloy plate can cause the fracture defect of a formed part with a complex shape during cold forming, so that the forming efficiency is low; secondly, in the process of taking out the part after the part is formed and carrying out solid solution and aging T6 treatment, the part needs solid solution heating and quenching cooling, and the size precision of the part is poor because the part is easy to deform and rebound under the action of thermal stress.
In recent years, a hot forming method aiming at cold die quenching of aluminum alloy plate parts is developed, and the used male die and female die are both in a cold state. The preheated sheet is quickly placed between the male and female dies and the forming is completed in a short time. In the part forming process, cooling water is introduced into a cooling channel of the concave-convex die to realize the cooling of the die, and then the die pressing cooling reaches the critical quenching cooling speed of the plate. The temperature of the hot plate is reduced too fast after the hot plate is contacted with the cold concave-convex die, so that the temperature of the plate during forming is lower than the required hot forming temperature, and the temperature distribution on the plate is very uneven, thereby causing the defects of local wrinkling, cracking and the like of a formed part. Therefore, the hot forming method is still difficult to be used for forming aluminum alloy plates, especially for structural members/inner plate covering members with complicated shapes.
In addition, in the prior chinese patent "cold and hot compound die forming method for aluminum alloy sheet metal part" with patent reference No. 201210124230, a hot forming method for aluminum alloy sheet is disclosed, in which a male die and a blank holder are used in a cooling state, and a female die is used in a heating state. The method comprises the steps of firstly heating a female die, then placing an aluminum alloy plate on the female die for heating, carrying out die assembly molding after heating to a deformation temperature, and then rapidly separating the die, and then leaving the part on a blank holder and a male die to finish cooling and quenching. The method ensures that the forming can be carried out at higher temperature, and is beneficial to forming parts with complex shapes. However, the following problems are involved in molding: firstly, the method requires that the formed aluminum alloy part is quickly separated from the female die along with the male die and the blank holder and is left on the blank holder and the male die to finish cooling and quenching, and the part is in a free non-die-closing state because the part is separated from the male die and the female die in the quenching process, so that the problem of part rebound caused by quenching stress cannot be solved, the matching precision of the part after quenching is low, and the reject ratio is obviously increased. Secondly, the method needs to place the plate on a female die and heat the plate to the forming temperature, and the plate and the die occupy most of time in the whole forming process, so that the forming efficiency is low, and the method is not suitable for industrial continuous production; meanwhile, the female die for ensuring the key appearance precision of the part is heated to more than 500 ℃ required by solid solution, so that the precision of the die is seriously reduced, the precision of the molded surface is seriously reduced, and the precision of the part is further reduced.
In summary, the existing thermal forming method for the aluminum alloy plate has low forming efficiency, is easy to cause technical problems of local wrinkling, cracking, resilience and the like, and cannot meet the requirement of large-scale industrial production of the aluminum alloy plate.
