Abstract:

This paper proposes a new cold extrusion reinforcement process for high-temperature alloys structures with holes, the Multi-annular Convex Hull Rotating Cold Expansion Process (MCR-CEP) to improve the fatigue life of nickel-based superalloys structures with holes. In order to optimize the enhancement effect of the MCR-CEP process, we explore the impact of three process parameters, namely the bump spacing, the spindle speed, and the extrusion volume, on the surface integrity of the inner wall of the strengthened hole through various extrusion tests. Based on the test results, it was determined that the wider the bump spacing and spindle speed are, the smaller the squeezing force is; the larger squeezing volume is likely to cause an increase in the roughness of the inner wall of the hole and the saturation of the residual stress. After taking into account factors such as expansion pressure, microhardness, surface roughness, and residual stress, it has been determined that the optimal expansion parameters are a spacing of 0.8 mm for the expansion tool, a spindle speed of 100 r/min, and an expansion volume of 0.2 mm. Based on the results, it is concluded that compared with the un-strengthened hole structure, the average fatigue life of specimens that underwent the MCR-CEP process showed an improvement of at least 118%, and the fatigue life of specimens processed with the optimal process parameters increased by 173%.
