Compared with traditional methods, the cold extrusion process is an effective means to realize higher accuracy and longer life. The low-cycle fatigue properties of LDITHSS are obtained by experiments, and the initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks are observed by scanning electron microscope（SEM）. Based on the mechanical properties, surface microstructure and residual stress, the strengthening mechanism of cold extruded large diameter internal thread（LDIT） is discussed. The results show that new grains or sub-grains can be formed on the surface of LDIT due to grain segmentation and grain refinement during cold extrusion. The fibrous structures appear as elongated and streamlined along the normal direction of the tooth surface which leads to residual compressive stress on the extruded surface. The maximum tension stress of LDIT after cold extrusion is found to be 192.55 k N. Under low stress cycling, the yield stress on thread increases, the propagation rate of crack reduces, the fatigue life is thus improved significantly with decreasing surface grain diameter and the average fatigue life increases to 45.539×10~3 cycle when the maximum applied load decreases to 120 k N. The low cycle fatigue and strengthening mechanism of cold extruded LDIT revealed by this research has significant importance to promote application of internal thread by cold extrusion processing.展开更多

文摘冷挤压成形内螺纹具有加工效率高、成本低、牙形流线分布合理、螺纹强度高等特点.底孔直径是冷挤压内螺纹加工过程中的关键工艺参数.研究了工件底孔直径对1100铝合金冷挤压内螺纹性能的影响,利用DEFORM-3D有限元软件模拟1100铝合金M12×1.25 mm螺纹孔冷挤压过程,通过分析不同底孔直径的等效应力应变、扭矩及牙高率的变化,探索最佳底孔直径,并进行实验验证.结果表明:在内螺纹冷挤压数值模拟过程中,等效应力与等效应变变化趋势一致,发生在挤压丝锥与铝合金挤压摩擦的工作区域,说明挤压丝锥的结构也是影响内螺纹冷挤压变形的因素.随着底孔直径的增大,加工过程中的扭矩及牙高率都呈降低的趋势,扭矩及牙高率的有限元模拟结果与实际测量结果吻合较好,验证了有限元模拟的正确性与可靠性.综合考虑成形过程的影响,最佳底孔直径为11.45 mm.
