Analysis of the reasons for the formation of defects in the 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti steel billets and development of recommendations for its elimination

Ryaboshuk S.V., Kovalev P.V.

Abstract

Introdution. Austenitic steel (e.g., AISI 304, AISI 321, AISI 316, AISI 403, 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti, etc.) is widespread, which is caused by high corrosion resistance and the corresponding possibility of use in aggressive media. The following most common types of 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti steel defects can be distinguished: integranular corrosion, martensitic orientation of the α-phase and ferrite δ-phase. The purpose of work: to analyze the defects formation reasons of the 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti steel grade billets and to develop recommendations for their elimination. The methods of investigation. Tests of 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti steel samples for resistance to integranular corrosion, metallographic analysis of defects were carried out in this work. Hardness measurements were carried out for various degrees of billets reduction. Thermodynamic calculations of phase equilibrium in multicomponent steel for different temperatures were performed by the Thermo-Calc software. Results and Discussion. It is determined that in order to prevent integranular corrosion, it is necessary to reduce the nitrogen and carbon content in steel at the stage of ladle refining to 0.05%, and also to ensure the concentration of titanium in steel is not less than the permissible value — 0.3%. These measures contribute to the reduction of Cr23C6 chromium carbides responsible for integranular corrosion. It is necessary to reduce the degree of compression of the billets to a level of no more than 50% to prevent the appearance of a ferromagnetic martensitic α-phase, since the formation of this defect is associated with a high degree of compression during drawing. The high-temperature phase of δ-ferrite exists in the metal structure in a wide temperature range. Reducing this range to 100 degrees or less by optimizing the composition of the carbon and chromium alloy in accordance with GOST 5632-2014 leads to a significant reduction of the amount of ferrite. However, it is not possible to completely eliminate it from the structure of steel. For all cases, it is necessary to assign austenization of billets in the temperature range of 1,050…1,100 °C.

Determination of the optimal metal processing mode when analyzing the dynamics of cutting control systems

Lapshin V.P., Moiseev D.V.

Abstract

Introduction. In numerous experimental studies of metal cutting processes on metal-cutting equipment, the existence of some optimal processing mode is noted, which was most vividly formulated by A.D. Makarov in his point on the existence of an optimal cutting temperature (processing speed). Here, by the authors from Russia, the emphasis is on the description of the optimality of cutting processes related to the properties of the processed material and the properties of the tool used in this process. However, there is another opinion in the Western scientific literature, which is generally based on the regenerative nature of vibrations in cutting dynamics. Vibration regeneration is associated with the dynamics of the cutting process, which is significantly affected by a lagging argument reflecting the variability of the cut layer. The connection of these two approaches is seen through the analysis of the stability domain of the dynamic cutting system in the parameter space: cutting speeds and tool wear values. Subject. Based on this, the paper considers the question of the relationship between the optimal according to A.D. Makarov the processing mode and the dynamics of the cutting process, including the regeneration of tool vibrations during metal turning. To do this, two research hypotheses are formulated and numerical modeling is performed in order to determine its reliability. Purpose of the work: to consider the position of A.D. Makarov on the existence of an optimal cutting mode, from the point of view of the stability of the dynamics of metal turning. For this purpose, two hypotheses are put forward in the work to be analyzed. The paper investigates: a mathematical model describing the dynamics of vibration oscillations of the cutting wedge tip, taking into account the dynamics of the temperature formed in the contact zone and its influence on the forces that prevent the forming motions of the tool. Research methods: a series of field experiments was carried out on a metalworking equipment using the capabilities of the measuring stand STD.201-1, the purpose of which was to determine the effect of the thermal expansion of metals on the value of the buoyant force. Based on numerical simulation of the initial nonlinear mathematical models, as well as simulation of models linearized in the vicinity of the equilibrium point, an analysis of the stability of the cutting system with variations in the cutting speed and the amount of tool wear along the flank is conducted. The results of the work. The results of field experiments are presented, which showed a significant linear increase in the force pushing out the tool with an increase in temperature in the contact zone of the tool and the workpiece. The results of simulation of the state and the corresponding phase trajectories when the cutting wedge is embedded in the workpiece, as well as the forces decomposed along the axis of deformation of the tool, are presented. The results of modeling the Mikhailov vector hodograph for a linearized model of the dynamics of the cutting process are presented. Conclusions: The research results have shown that only the second hypothesis put forward by the authors makes it possible to adequately interpret the point put forward by A.D. Makarov. The main addition to the description of the point of A.D. Makarov, the authors consider it necessary to take into account changes in the pushing force with an increase in the temperature of the contact zone of the tool and the workpiece.

Experimental study of the dynamics of the machining process by ball-end mills

Gimadeev M.R., Li A.A., Berkun V.O., Stelmakov V.A.

Abstract

Introduction. Due to a significant number of factors affecting the change in the properties of a dynamic system, excessively conservative processing conditions are chosen to ensure the high quality of the resulting product. This limits the efficiency of the process and leads to an increase in the cost of production. Accordingly, modern approaches are needed that will allow diagnosing the current state of processing and making timely decisions to replace the tool, correct or change the control program. The significance of the ongoing research is to propose a real-time monitoring approach to milling control to identify emerging processing errors, predict potential problems and improve uptime. Subject. The paper discusses the features of the real-time monitoring system during mechanical processing with a single- and double-edge cutting tool, taking into account acoustic wave filtering, minimizing surface roughness. The purpose of the work is to determine the effect of the inclination orientation of the ball-end tool on the surface roughness value using real-time monitoring during milling on CNC process equipment. Methods. The study provides methods of correlation and regression analysis. The calculated data were obtained by means of vibroacoustic diagnostics and measured in the range of values of the variable angle of inclination of the surface for single- and double-edge cutting tool based on the provisions of the theory of oscillations and vibroacoustic diagnostics, cutting theory, digital processing and digital filtering of signals. Results and discussions. Experimental data obtained during machining made it possible to determine that an increase in the angle of inclination of a single-edge cutting tool has practically no effect on the change in the amplitude parameters of roughness. The values of vibroacoustic diagnostics and roughness, when using a double-edge ball-end tool, show a consistent picture with the effects created by the angles of inclination and advance. The obtained solutions to the problems of monitoring and analyzing the roughness parameters can significantly reduce the amount of experimental research and clarify the idea of the practical implementation of the method of acoustic monitoring of the cutting process.

Simulation of the relationship between input factors and output indicators of the internal grinding process, considering the mutual vibrations of the tool and the workpiece

Bratan S.M., Chasovitina A.S.

Abstract

Introduction. In real production conditions, the technological modes recommended in the scientific literature do not reflect the declared qualities, due to the fact that it does not take into account many factors inherent in the process of finishing grinding, for example, its stochastic nature, changes in its dynamic properties, an increase in mutual vibrations of the tool and the workpiece that appear due to changes in the state of the technological system, for example, an increase in vibrations machine tool due to uneven tool wear, etc. All previously developed models have a limited scope of application, it does not take into account the fact that the appearance of vibrations leads to fluctuations in the depth of grinding, with accidental contact of grains with the material being processed, where one group of grains cuts off the material, the other gets into the trace of scratches left by previous grains, etc. This leads to changes in the values of material removal, surface roughness and other parameters of the technological system, which directly affects the accuracy of processing and the quality of the machined surfaces. The purpose of the work is to develop mathematical models that establish the relationship between the processing modes and the current parameters of the contact zone during the fine grinding of pinholes, taking into account the mutual vibrations of the tool and the workpiece. The research methods are mathematical simulation using the basic provisions of the theory of abrasive-diamond processing. Results and discussion. The interrelations between the cutting modes and the current input parameters of the contact zone when grinding pinholes are established, taking into account the mutual vibrations of the tool and the workpiece, which make it possible to determine the parameters of the system at the output to avoid cost losses, including reducing the number of defective products and time costs. Non-stationary mathematical dependences are constructed that allow determining the cutting modes during the implementation of the grinding cycle, taking into account the magnitude of relative vibrations and the initial phase. It is established that instead of a steady process, harmonic oscillations are observed caused by deviations in the shape of the circle, the intensity of tool wear and other factors, all of the above has a significant impact on the quality of the machined surface. The obtained models are universal for various characteristics of the tool, however, for a more adequate description of the process, mathematical dependencies are needed that take into account the wear of the tool on various binders, which is the task of further research.

Synthesis of the drive mechanism of the continuous production machine

Podgornyj Y.I., Kirillov A.V., Skeeba V.Y., Martynova T.G., Lobanov D.V., Martyushev N.V.

Abstract

Introduction. Existing mixing devices operate at a constant angular velocity of the working body. During this process, there are zones in which there may be no movement of material, which leads to a decrease in the quality of the finished product. When the working body moves with a variable angular rate, the inertia forces, when changing its sign, contribute to the creation of conditions under which the mixture will lose contact with the blade and move to new levels of movement, and this helps to improve the quality and intensity of the mixing process. The purpose of the work is to improve the quality of the processed mixture on horizontal blade (kneading) machine. Methods. Theoretical studies are carried out using the basic provisions of the theory of machines and mechanisms, structural and parametric synthesis, kinematic analysis, mathematical and computer simulation. Results and discussion. In accordance with the proposed method, the synthesis of the cam-rocker mechanism is carried out, which made it possible to select the main dimensions for the cam mechanism: the minimum radius and center distance. For the synthesis of the rocker group, the parameters of the synthesized cam mechanism are used and, using the main parameters for the rocker group (the size of the input link, the angle of the second arm initial position and rocker centre line, equal to 90°). The rocker arm span angle is obtained equal to 103°. As a result of the kinematic calculation, it is found that the dwell time of the working shafts is within 80°. The quality of the mixture can be assessed by the angle of the stagnation zone, which is formed during the movement of granular material. Under static conditions, it is equal to 0.846°, and at variable angular rate — 0.550°. It is theoretically confirmed that inertial forces that change sign four times in one cycle will provide shaking and rebound of the mixed mass from the blades, which, in turn, will significantly improve the quality of the mixture.

Methodology for criteria analysis of multivariant system

Lobanov D.V., Rafanova O.S.

Abstract

Introduction. Trends in the development and application of modern machine-building systems somehow create the problem of analysis and choice in the presence of alternative objects, or with a large number of comparison criteria - indicators of the effectiveness of objects or systems. The main difficulties in optimizing the solution for designing production systems depend on complex technological problems: a large number of influencing factors and the absence of patterns. The choice of effective objects and systems is often a complex and multi-criteria process that requires a lot of time and, as a result, reduces the efficiency of the organization of production preparation. In this regard, for the preparation and adoption of technical and economic decisions of various complexity in production conditions, a systematic approach is required using the most rational forms and methods of organizing production. The purpose of the work: to create a generalized methodology for the criteria analysis of multivariant systems. The methods of investigation. A methodology is proposed aimed at improving the efficiency of the organization of pre-production due to a reasonable choice from a large number of options. The choice of a rational solution option is based on the ranking of indicators by priority at the time of making a reasonable decision in a specific situation and the type of object and system under consideration. Indicators can be variable, taking into account the specifics of production. Results and Discussion. A comparative analysis of the process of edge cutting machining of the STEF-1 fiber-glass polymer composite material with an interlocking side mill carrying various insert materials is conducted as an example of the practical application of the proposed methodology. As comparison parameters, the period of technological tool life, cutting performance and reduced costs in the implementation of cutting are taken. According to the results of a comparative multi-criteria analysis carried out according to the presented method, it follows that the priority in the system under consideration with the specified parameters for the implementation of the technology is the tool equipped with WC–3Co alloy inserts, which has the highest value of the weight criteria coefficient. According to the results of the analysis, a tool equipped with WC–2TaC–6Co alloy inserts is close in rationality, which allows recommending it as an analogue when choosing. The scope of the proposed application of the methodology is seen if it is necessary to analyze complex multivariant systems/objects. The objects/systems can be both variants of scientific solutions under various conditions of comparability, as well as design, technological solutions, structural and instrumental materials at the selection stage in the design and technological preparation of production, variants of the system implementation algorithm. The comparison parameters can be physical, mechanical, technological, operational properties; technical, economic and quality indicators; specific characteristics and parameters. The proposed technique will reduce the time for making new decisions under varying production conditions. The use of the methodology with known and well-defined parameters characterizing multivariant systems makes it possible to algorithmize, and subsequently automate, the process of organizational and technological preparation of production.

Sokolov A.G., Bobylyov E.E., Popov R.A.

Abstract

Introduction. The main methods of increasing the efficiency of products made from structural steels are considered. A description of diffusion saturation from liquid metal media solutions (DSLMMS) is given. Also, complex diffusion saturation technology (CDS), including DSLMMS and carburization is shown. The purpose of the work is to reveal the effect of steel composition on the process of formation and elemental composition of diffusion-saturated surface layers (coatings) based on chromium, as well as to establish differences and regularities in the processes of formation of diffusion-saturated coatings after DSLMMS and CDS. The methods of investigation. Cylindrical specimens 20 mm in diameter and 30 mm long were subjected to DSLMMS. The specimens were made of carbon and alloyed steels: St3, 20-Cr13, 40-Cr, 40-Cr13, 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti. At the same time, some of the specimens were previously subjected to vacuum cementation. An eutectic Pb-Bi with the specified content of Cr was used as a transport medium when executing DSLMMS. Metallographic studies were carried out on microsection prepared according to the standard method. Studies to determine the thickness of coatings and its structure were carried out on the Dura Scan Falcon 500 Microhardness Tester. The elemental composition of the coatings was determined by the method of electron microprobe analysis on a Tescan Lyra 3 scanning electron microscope with the Oxford Ultim MAX PCMA system. Results and discussion. As a result of the research, it was revealed that the formation of saturated coatings occurs with DSLMMS and CDS. At the same time, the thickness of the coatings and its elemental composition depend on the steel grade and the technology used. After DSLMMS concentration of Cr varies from 96.9% to 91.1%. At the same time, the maximum concentration of 96.9% is observed on steel St3. After CDS, on the surfaces of all steel samples, the concentration of Cr decreases in comparison with the coatings obtained by the DSLMMS technology on steels: St3 from 96.9% to 66.8%; 40-Cr from 91.1% to 63.18%; 20-Cr13 from 93.18% to 62.54%; 12-Cr18-Ni10-Ti from 92.92% to 64.77%. The total thickness of diffusion-saturated coatings formed on all the alloys studied ranges from 17 to 17.5 µm.

Study of the properties of silicon bronze-based alloys printed using electron beam additive manufacturing technology

Filippov A.V., Khoroshko E.S., Shamarin N.N., Kolubaev E.A., Tarasov S.Y.

Abstract

Introduction. Additive technologies make it possible to curb material expenses by reducing allowances for the final dimensional machining of workpieces. For such expensive materials as copper and copper alloys, this method is considerably attractive from a perspective of increasing resource efficiency in production. The operational properties of the C65500 alloy manufactured using additive technologies have not been fully studied and require additional research. The aim of the work is to study the structural and phase state, mechanical and operational properties of C65500 bronze specimens printed using electron beam additive manufacturing technology. In the work, specimens made of C65500 wire with different heat input values are studied, some of which were subjected to thermal treatment and mechanical processing, as well as specimens, manufactured using multi-wire technology. The work uses such research methods as the study of corrosion resistance of bronze specimens using a potentiostat, confocal laser scanning microscopy, friction tests and X-ray phase analysis. Results and discussion. Processing of specimens by plastic deformation (compression) and subsequent annealing leads to the most serious structural changes. Based on X-ray phase analysis, it is found that higher silicon content is observed in the case of the addition of silumins to bronze. The study of mechanical properties shows that the specimens, printed using multi-wire technology, have the highest strength properties. During tribological testing, fluctuations in the value of the friction coefficient are revealed, due to the scheme of the experiment and the combined adhesive-oxidative mechanism of specimens’; wear. The addition of 10 wt.% aluminum filament to bronze in the additive manufacturing process is an effective means for increasing the resistance of the material to electrochemical corrosion and increasing its wear resistance.

Lysykh S.A., Kornopoltsev V.N., Mishigdorzhiyn U.L., Kharaev Y.P., Tikhonov A.G., Ivancivsky V.V., Vakhrushev N.V.

Abstract

Introduction. Borocoppering is one of the methods of thermochemical treatment (TCT) aimed at forming diffusion layers with high physical and mechanical properties on the surface of carbon and alloy steels. The thickness of the diffusion layer is the most important characteristic of the TCT, which determines the depth of hardening. Consequently, the intensity and main characteristics of the TCT (layer thickness, alloying element concentration profile) depend on the process conditions (temperature, duration, and amount of alloying element). The purpose of this work is to determine the temperature-time parameters of diffusion borocoppering, which contribute to the formation of diffusion layers with a maximum thickness. The paper considers the results of surface hardening of carbon and alloy steels (for example, Steel 45 (0.45% C), Steel U10 (1.0% C), and 0.5C-Cr-Ni-Mn steel) by high-temperature soaking in powder mixtures containing boron and copper. Borocoppering was carried out in sealed containers with the powder mixture consisting of boron carbide, copper oxide, and sodium fluoride as an activator at a temperature of 950 °C for 3–5 h. The resulting specimens with a diffusion layer were examined using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM); the microhardness, elemental and phase composition of the layers were also determined, as well as the roughness of the obtained surfaces. Results and discussions. The microstructure of the obtained diffusion layers is studied; diagrams of the changes in the layers’; thickness and the microhardness distribution over the layers’; thickness are shown. It is established that with an increase in the soaking time from 3 to 5 h, the thickness of the diffusion layer increases from 120 to 170 μm on Steel 45 (0.45% C); from 110 to 155 µm on Steel U10 (1.0% C) and from 130 to 230 µm on 0.5C-Cr-Ni-Mn steel. A gradual decrease in the concentration of boron and copper along the layer thickness from 15–16% and 2–3% on the surface, respectively, to zero values at the boundary with the base metal is revealed. It is established that borocoppering to the formation of more thick boride layers on the surface of carbon and alloy steels compared to pure boriding. Moreover, an increase in the duration of soaking during the process contributes to the greatest increase in the thickness of the layer on 0.5C-Cr-Ni-Mn steel. A study of microgeometry is carried out, microtopographies and profilograms of specimens’; surfaces are shown before and after borocoppering. It is established that the roughness after borocoppering increases by 2-3 times compared to the initial one, and an increase in the duration of the process does not have a significant effect on the roughness.
