Design and manufacture of inner plating diamond reamer

Abstract: Diamond reamer has the advantages of high processing precision, small surface roughness value, high efficiency and long life. It has been widely used in the processing of precision hole parts. This paper introduces a new design and manufacturing method of precision diamond reamer, which contains some key technical problems in the design and manufacture of reamer.

1 Introduction


The diamond reamer is a high-precision bore machining tool developed in the past 20 years. Due to its high processing accuracy (generally up to 2μm), small surface roughness (generally up to Ra 0.4 ~ 0.2μm), high processing efficiency (generally 3 to 5 times), long life (generally capable of processing 10000) More than one piece), the quality is stable and reliable, so it has been widely used in hydraulic, agricultural machinery, automotive, machine tools, military and other industries.
The electroplated diamond reamer is formed by encapsulating the diamond particles on the cutter body by means of electroplating using metal nickel, iron or copper as a bonding agent. The electroplated reamer requires a high geometric accuracy on the surface of the electroplated layer to ensure that the abrasive cutting edge has good contour and sharpness, reduces the cutting load, and improves the geometric quality, physical quality and durability of the reamer.
At present, domestic diamond reamer is manufactured by external plating. At the time of manufacture, the abrasive grains need to be strictly screened, and the abrasive grains are directly fixed around the cutter body by the plated metal. The reamer of the plated reamer has poor contour and needs to be ground with a diamond wheel, but the grinding will destroy the natural edge of the abrasive grain and passivate the abrasive grain, which affects the processing efficiency and the surface quality of the hole to be processed. To this end, we have proposed a new design and manufacturing method - the internal inclusion plating method (referred to as the internal plating method), and the reamer design, manufacturing and cutting test research, in order to achieve better in the precision hole processing Good processing results.

2 Internal plating principle and reaming mechanism of diamond reamer


To date, inclusive plating technology has been successfully applied to the manufacture of high precision diamond rollers, but has not been used to manufacture diamond reamer. The method of plating in the diamond reamer is to use a stable material to manufacture a high-precision inner hole tire mold which is opposite to the shape of the reamer, and to plate the diamond abrasive grains on the inner surface of the tire mold, thicken to form a plating layer, and then the plating layer and the shank Bonded together. In order to smoothly remove the film, a low-melting metal can be firstly plated on the inner surface of the film, and finally heated and released to form a reamer. At the same time, it can also ensure that the high-precision inner hole tire mold can be reused without being damaged, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost.
The reamer manufactured by the internal plating method is completely covered by the high-precision inner hole tire mold, and the surface of the coated abrasive grain can achieve high geometric precision, the abrasive grain has good contour and sharp edge, so the cutting performance is excellent. In the external plating reamer, the surface roughness of the processed hole is small, and the tool does not need to be ground and has a long service life.
During the reaming of the diamond reamer, the reamer abrasive particles interfere with the wall of the workpiece and interact with each other, and the interference points are continuously cut away to perform mutual trimming. The surface of the reamer and the surface of the hole continuously generate new interference points, so that the contact area between the wall of the hole and the surface of the reamer is continuously increased, especially the sharp edge and the sharp angle of the top of the abrasive grain of the reamer correction portion are ground into small ones. Plane, as shown in Figure 1. At the same time, the cutting allowance is getting smaller and smaller, and the cutting action is getting weaker. The effect of the reamer on the extrusion and polishing of the hole wall is getting stronger and stronger, which makes the roundness of the hole higher and the surface roughness value becomes smaller and smaller. This is why the longer the diamond reamer is used, the smaller the surface roughness value of the machined hole.
During the process of reaming the inner hole of the workpiece by the diamond reamer, the reamer cutting part cuts off most of the workpiece (actually the total reaming margin is small), while the correction part only removes a small amount of allowance, but it is on the surface of the workpiece. Extrusion and polishing are the main processes of reaming the diamond reamer and are the main factors to ensure the quality of the workpiece. At the same time, by extrusion and polishing, the surface of the workpiece is plastically deformed to increase the hardness. According to the experimental measurement, the hardness of the workpiece surface after reaming by diamond reamer is obviously increased by 0.5 to 1.0 times than that before reaming, which is undoubtedly beneficial to improve the service life of the workpiece.

For a normally used diamond reamer, the abrasive particles should be exposed to participate in the cutting. Therefore, the bonding agent between the abrasive grains should form a pit. During the reaming process, a large amount of chips are hidden in these pits (Fig. 2), and part of the binder is etched away, so that the pits in front of the abrasive grains are gradually deepened; the binder behind the abrasive grains is rarely chipped. Corrosion, at the same time due to the action of the pressing force, the binder is moved backwards, which further strengthens the supporting effect on the abrasive grains. This is one of the reasons why the particles of the diamond reamer are not easy to fall off and the reamer remains long (Fig. 3).

3 Structural design of inner diamond reamer


At present, diamond reamer has two types: fixed and adjustable. In order to machine high-precision bores, the diamond reamer should be fixed. Because the fixed reamer is simple in manufacturing process, easy to grind, low in cost, and stable in dimensional stability of the machined hole. A schematic diagram of the structure of a fixed diamond reamer for machining through holes is shown in FIG. The structural design of the main part of the reamer is discussed in detail below.
  1. Design of the calibration section The correction section is the part of the reamer that fixes the light and improves the accuracy. It mainly takes care of a small amount of rough peaks left over from the machining of the cutting part, and is a key factor affecting the processing quality of the hole to be machined.
    Generally, the length of the correction portion is selected from 2 to 3 times the processing aperture. Take a small value when the hole is long, and take a large value when the hole is short. The radial dimension of the correction section depends on the specific conditions such as the surface roughness of the workpiece, the shape of the hole, the precision of the preformed hole, and the amount of reaming.
  2. Design of the cutting part The cutting part is the cutting part of the reamer, which is responsible for cutting the machining allowance of 80% to 90% of the workpiece to be machined, which has a great influence on the life of the reamer and the processing quality.

    The length and the taper angle of the cutting portion are mainly determined according to the amount of cutting allowance. Generally, the length is 15 to 25 mm; when the cutting cone angle is coarse, q = 0° 3' to 0° 15', and q is used for fine hinge. =0°1'~0°5' to ensure that the reamer enters the actual cutting state at 2/5~1/2 (Fig. 5). The formula for calculating the cone angle is
    Tg q =S/LK
    Where S - cutting depth, mm
    L——cut length, mm
    K——length coefficient, take 2/5~1/2
    The cone angle tolerance is 3 to 4 levels.
  3. Design of the cooling tank When the diamond reamer is reamed, if the heat and chips are not discharged, the cutter body will heat up and expand, and the processing quality of the hole will be significantly reduced. In severe cases, the phenomenon of "biting" will occur. Therefore, the main surfaces of the reamer are designed with cooling grooves, and the following conditions are met: 1 The cooling groove must ensure sufficient cooling when the reamer is working; 2 The cooling groove cannot affect the rigidity and life of the reamer; 3 Coolant flow The road is smooth so that the chips can be taken away.
    The spiral groove is generally designed with 2 to 5 spirals, the helix angle is 20=20°~45°, and the spiral direction is left-handed to advance the chips and coolant to the unreamed surface to ensure that the hinged surface is protected from scratches. At the same time, the choice of the spiral groove and the helix angle should ensure that the cutting width of the reamer is appropriate, generally 12 to 18 mm (Fig. 6).

4 Diamond reamer internal plating manufacturing process


Since the dimensional accuracy and shape accuracy of the inner containment reamer are mainly guaranteed by the accuracy of the tire mold, the design and manufacture of the tire mold is essential. The inner hole of the tire mold should be designed to be opposite to the shape of the reamer and finely ground on a high-precision grinding machine.

In the electroplating process, the electroplating method is used, and the bright nickel plating method is adopted to reduce the internal stress of the plating layer by ensuring the plating layer. The more reasonable plating process specifications are shown in the following table:
name Content (g/L)
Nickel sulfate (NiSO 4 —7H 2 O) 250~300
Sodium chloride (NaCl) 10-20
Boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) 35~40
Saccharin (6H 5 COSO 2 NH 2 ) 1 to 2
Coumarin (C 9 H 6 O 2 ) 0.5 to 1
Sodium lauryl sulfate (C 12 H 25 SO 4 Na) 0.1 to 0.2
PH value 4.0 to 4.5
Temperature (°C) 40~45
Current density (A/dm 2 ) 1.5 to 3

In order to make the plating layer uniform in size and fast in deposition speed, the flow plating process is poor for the internal plating method, and the flow rate of the plating solution is about 5 to 30 m/min.
The body material is generally 45 steel, quenched to a hardness of 40 to 45 HRC, and is refined.
When cutting and grooving, it is necessary to ensure that the dimensional accuracy of the reamer is not affected. When the blade is opened, the corundum metal can be polished by a corundum grinding wheel, and the two metals with different chemical solubility can be electroplated and then subjected to corrosion treatment. Electrochemical corrosion and mechanical processing can be used for slotting.

5 Conclusion


After trial and error, we finally got a series of standardized and standardized inclusive precision diamond reamer. Through the processing and testing of typical materials and typical parts, as well as the comparison of the technical parameters and cutting performance of the reamer manufactured by the external plating method, the following conclusions can be drawn:
  1. Precision and high precision diamond reamer is more suitable for design and manufacture using internal plating.
  2. The inner plating method of the diamond reamer has higher precision and smaller surface roughness than the outer plating method.
  3. As long as the process parameters are reasonable and standardized, the design and manufacture of the inner plating diamond reamer is as simple and convenient.
