摘要: 叶缘作为航空发动机叶片的关键部位,其加工精度直接影响叶片的气动性能,降低叶缘表面粗糙度和轮廓度对延长发动机服役寿命至关重要。为此,设计并开发了固结树脂金刚石弹性抛光轮,基于机器人平台研究钛合金叶片叶缘的抛光工艺。采用正交试验法探索主轴转速、进给速度、加工压力、磨料粒径4个主要工艺参数对叶缘表面粗糙度及轮廓度的影响规律。试验确定的最佳工艺参数组合是:主轴转速为800 r/min,进给速度为6 mm/min,加工压力为4 N,磨料粒径为10~14 μm。在此最佳参数组合下,钛合金叶片叶缘抛光的综合效果较好,其表面形貌得到改善,面型精度提高,表面粗糙度由初始的1.165 μm降为0.213 μm ,轮廓度由初始的0.048 mm降为0.016 mm,可满足使用要求。Abstract: Objectives: Aero engine blades are important components in engines, and the machining accuracy of the blade edge directly affects the aerodynamic performance of the blade. Improving the surface roughness and the profile accuracy of the blade edge are crucial to improving the service life and the performance of the engine. However, the curvature radius of the blade edge surface varies greatly to even less than 0.05 mm, which puts higher requirements on processing equipment and technology. Therefore, the polishing process of blade edges is studied and a fixed resin diamond elastic polishing wheel adapting to the shape of the blade edge is developed to explore its feasibility on a 6R robot polishing platform when polishing blade edges. Methods: The fixed resin diamond elastic polishing wheel is developed based on the characteristics of small curvature radius and complex surface shape of the blade edge, and a robot polishing platform is built to study the polishing process of Ti alloy blade edges. Firstly, by combining UG secondary development with robot kinematics, the polishing path of the wheel based on the robot platform for polishing blade edges is planned. Secondly, the orthogonal experimental method is used to explore the influences of four main process parameters, namely spindle speed (A), feed rate (B), machining pressure (C), and abrasive particle size (D), on the surface roughness and contour of the blade edge. The optimal combination of process parameters is then obtained. Finally, the titanium alloy blade edge workpiece is polished using the optimal parameter combination, and the surface roughness and the contour of the workpiece after polishing are measured to determine whether the polishing quality of the workpiece meets the requirements for use. Results: The orthogonal experiments are conducted on titanium alloy blade edge polishing using the fixed resin diamond elastic polishing wheel on the 6R robot polishing platform. The experimental data show that: (1) Among the four process parameters A, B, C and D, B has the greatest impact on the blade edge profile with a range R1 of 0.015. The second greatest influences are from A and C, and the least influence is from D. The optimal combination of process parameters is A2B1C2D3, that is, the spindle speed is 700 r/min, the feed speed is 6 mm/min, the processing pressure is 4 N, and the abrasive particle size is 10~14 μm. (2) B has the greatest effect on the surface roughness of the blade edge, with its range R2 being 0.136, which is much higher than that of other parameters. The second greatest influences are from D and A, and the least influence is from C. The optimal combination of process parameters is A3B1C2D3, that is, the spindle speed is 800 r/min, the feed speed is 6 mm/min, the processing pressure is 4 N, and the abrasive particle size is 10~14 μm. Conclusions: A new type of resin diamond elastic polishing wheel is innovatively designed by combining fixed abrasive technology and elastic polishing technology, which is suitable for the characteristics of large curvature changes and complex surfaces of the blade edge. It is used for orthogonal experiments of blade edge polishing on the 6R robot polishing platform. The experimental results show that the designed and developed elastic polishing wheel is suitable for polishing the edges of titanium alloy blades, and the surface roughness and profile accuracy of the processed edges can meet the requirements for use. At the same time, the optimized process parameter combination for polishing the edge of titanium alloy blades is A3B1C2D3, which includes a spindle speed of 800 r/min, a feed rate of 6 mm/min, a processing pressure of 4 N, and an abrasive particle size of 10~14 μm. Under these parameters, the overall effect of blade edge polishing is the best, with the surface roughness Ra decreasing from the initial 1.165 μm to 0.213 μm, and the profile decreasing from the initial 0.048 mm to 0.016 mm.
