Influence of the Lattice Parameter on the Low-Temperature Brittle Failure of Metals

Kabaldin Y.G., Anosov M.S., Zhelonkin M.V., Golovin A.A.

Abstract

Abstract—The brittle failure of metals at low temperatures is analyzed. It is shown that the ductile–brittle transition temperature depends on the lattice parameter: with increase in the lattice parameter, the ductile–brittle transition temperature falls. The brittle failure of a material depends on its crystal lattice and its electron structure and on whether impurities are present at the grain boundaries. Increase in brittle strength of steels by optimization of their heat treatment is proposed.

Influence of Oscillatory Smoothing on the Residual Stress in Cylindrical Components

Zaides S.A., Nguyen Van Hinh .

Abstract

The influence of oscillatory smoothing on the residual stress in cylindrical components is investigated by simulation and laboratory experiments. The residual stress is found to depend on the tool supply, the interference, the workpiece speed, the oscillatory frequency, and the tool’s angular position (inclination). The experimental results are in good agreement with the modeling data.

Gun-Drill Insertion in Drilling Deep Holes by Means of Multifunctional Machine Tools

Kirsanov S.V., Tsygankov R.S.

Abstract

The drilling of deep holes by means of gun drills is investigated so as to establish the parameters of the guide hole and its production. The rate of change in the load on the tool is proportional to the active length of the primary cutting edge. Assessment of the smoothness of tool insertion on the basis of the rate of change in the load on the tool is proposed.

Compatibility of Components in Complex Systems

Vasin S.A., Malikov A.A., Plakhotnikova E.V.

Abstract

The quality of systems constructed from components that have been produced at enterprises in different locations is considered. A particular sequence of processes is required in order to improve the performance of enterprises involved in the design and production of such systems. That sequence is identified. The basic principles that ensure the quality of such systems are formulated: in particular, compatibility of the components is essential. The constraints associated with the system’s emergent properties must be taken into account.

Surface Quality after High-Speed Grinding

Rechenko D.S., Gritsenko B.P., Titov Y.V., Sergeev V.A., Nogaibekova G.Z.

Abstract

In producing machine parts from the hard materials used today in the military–industrial complex, attainment of the required precision is difficult and sometimes unfeasible unless finishing operations are employed. In general, finishing operations are expensive and slow and they require highly skilled workers and specialized equipment. That considerably increases the production costs. Finishing operations can only be eliminated if the cutters used in the prior machining processes ensure satisfactory surface quality. However, that is not always the case, on account of bluntness of the tool. In the present work, attention focuses on the precision that may be attained in machining key components made of hard materials when using high-quality hard-alloy cutters produced by ultrahigh-speed grinding.

Influence of Insert Configuration on the Product’s Surface Quality in Burnishing

Smirnov A.V., Kuznetsov V.A.

Abstract

The use of a replaceable polyhedral insert in burnishing is considered. Specifically, the influence of the insert’s configuration on the surface quality of a steel surface after burnishing is studied in complete factorial experiments. The surface quality is assessed in terms of the mean deviation Ra of the profile; the profile’s relative reference length tp (p = 5%); the mean spacing Sm of the microprojections; and the mean spacing S of local projections. The parameters considered in determining the configuration the burnishing tool (replaceable polyhedral insert) are the interference i, the positional angle φ' of the tool around the vertical axis; and its positional angle ψ around the horizontal axis.

Influence of Diffusional Surface Alloying on the Hardened-Layer Thickness for Gray-Iron Machine Parts

Vasil’ev V.I., Ovsyannikov V.E., Nekrasov R.Y., Tempel’ Y.A.

Abstract

In diffusional surface alloying, gray-iron components of vehicles and machines are heated in contact with oxides of the alloying elements (chromium, titanium, vanadium, and molybdenum). The influence of the sample temperature and holding time in diffusional surface alloying on the thickness of the hardened layer is investigated, on the basis of experiment planning. The models obtained may be used to ensure specified thickness of the hardened layer in diffusional surface alloying, with maximum productivity in both production and repair processes.

Shmatkova A.V., Shmatkov V.S.

Abstract

Smooth transition from maintenance of high-performance equipment on the basis of time (after a fixed number of runs or cycles) to maintenance in terms of its condition is considered. A proposal is made for increasing the period between maintenance sessions and also decreasing the time and cost of each session. Approaches have been developed at Irkutsk Aviation Plant for the formulation and implementation of maintenance protocols on the basis of operational experience with the specific equipment.
