Abstract
Automatic friction welding type strapping machine is widely used for packing in industry, which can form solder welding joints of metal or polymer bundling strips by reciprocating high-frequency vibration friction. The hook type grasping friction pair (HTG friction pair) is one of the important vulnerable components, and its service life ranges from 16 million to 24 million vibrations at a vibration frequency of 400 times per second. The HTG friction pair of cold working die steel (SKD11) only lasted for 8 million vibrations before failing due to fracture, falls short of the required service life of 16 million to 24 million vibrations. Composition analysis, microstructure and fracture morphology characterization, and performance evaluation were conducted on the failed samples. The research results indicate that the HTG friction pair experienced multi-source high-cycle fatigue fracture at the chamfer radius and the hook groove, which is mainly because the chamfer radius is too small, and the hook grooves left on the surface by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) form stress concentration sources. Secondly, the forging ratio is insufficient, and the presence of eutectic carbide further accelerates the propagation of cracks. The optimization measures to improve the service life of HTG friction pair have been proposed.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
