The main processes of manufacturing unicycles are mechanical processing from a monolithic workpiece, which is highly labor-intensive for aluminum unicycles up to 200-250 hours, and for titanium 250-350 hours on CNC machines. The use of new knowledge reduces the labor intensity of production by 40-80%.
Methods have been developed to ensure high mechanical properties during plastic forming of structures of a new welding alloy of the Al - Mg- Transition Metals - Rare earth elements system for aerospace engineering. A two-stage approach to deformation has been developed, when at the first stage deformation is performed under conditions of large shear deformations for a more uniform redistribution of phase components and a decrease in the size of the grains - homogenization of the material due to mechanical action, and at the second stage - the formation of the structure.
In this work, using a unified theoretical approach, the analysis of the processes of visco-plastic forming of typical mechanical engineering structures with homogeneous and structurally heterogeneous materials. The theoretical approach is based on a closed system of equations of the theory of plastic flow of continuum mechanics, taking into account the visco-plastic properties of materials. This approach made it possible to provide system design of structural forming processes.
Based on generalized theoretical results of visco-plastic flow of metal in different aggregate (solid and liquid-solid) states under a wide range of temperatures and strain rates the relationship of the isothermal load parameters, structure and physic-mechanical properties of the material extruded from thin-walled workpieces elements that have a high degree of approximation of their shape to the shape of the details (accuracy) was obtained. A general theory and generalized approach for the calculation process of forming structurally heterogeneous bodies was created.
Based on an analytical review of scientific publications the goal and general guidelines were grounded. The prospects of using structurally modified and structurally inhomogeneous materials based on titanium and aluminum alloys were shown.
The analysis of power loading schemes of isothermal extrusion was made. Typical schemes of loading as a result of structural and logical analysis were classified depending on the impact of shear stresses, which are proportional to the forces of friction, on the overall stress state in the cell strains.
