Methodology for calculating the technological parameters of preventive deformation of the hardened parts of the "wall" type

The article aims to establish the effect of preventive deformation on the accuracy of aircraft parts made from the thermally hardened aluminium alloy 1933T2, after blasting hardening. Determination of the impact of preventive deformation was carried out by analysing structural parts of the "wall" type produced using various technological sequences. Sample 1 was produced using a standard manufacturing sequence: milling – blasting hardening – blasting correction. Sample 2 was produced as follows: milling – preventive deformation – hardening – blasting correction. The deformation of the samples was determined at checkpoints by deviations from flatness based on bending deflections. In sample 2, preventive deformation was performed on its ridges by a rolling device. The calculation of the technological parameters of the rolling device was conducted following the principle of superposition of individual operations, such as rolling and blasting hardening. The definition of the parameters of preventive deformation of sample 2 was based on the results ob tained for sample 1. It was established that, for both samples, the deviation from flatness after milling comprised 2.5 mm. The maximum deviation of sample 1 (without preventive deformation) after blasting hardening was 2.6 mm under a high degree of surface saturation. The maximum deviation of sample 2 (with preventive deformation) after blasting hardening did not exceed 0.4 mm, which corresponds to the acceptable deviation of such structural parts. Thus, the inclusion of the preventive deformation stage in the manufacturing process, with consideration of the deviations resulting from the milling stage, allows minimisation of deviations from the required form after blasting hardening. An analysis of the obtained re[1]sults confirmed that preventive deformation of structural parts reduces distortions after blasting hardening. Therefore, it is advisable to use the following manufacturing sequence: preventive deformation → hardening by a blasting method → correction by a blasting method.
