Эластичные хоны для полирования профилей зубьев термообработанных цилиндрических колес специального назначения

Abstract

Introduction. The most important component of the technological process of manufacturing of gear wheels of critical products is the operation of teeth honing. Special requirements are imposed on the surface quality of special-purpose gears, where imported abrasive tools were used, the supply of which in modern economic conditions is impossible. Purpose of work: development of formulation, technological equipment and technology of manufacturing of elastic diamond gear hones instead of imported ones for teeth honing of gear wheels of special purpose. Research methods. Subject of research are samples of imported elastic gear hones and created domestic analogs. The mechanical properties, morphology and chemical composition of the abrasive (diamond) layer of the working surface of the teeth and the annular gear were determined. The content of chemical elements was controlled in separate points of the surface and by scanning over the area on a scanning electron microscope. The formulation and technology of production of annular gears were determined. Results and Discussion. Designs of molds for forming the abrasive layer and the hub of the gear hone are developed. The peculiarities of morphology of the material of the working layer and the annular gear of the elastic diamond gear hone are revealed. On the basis of the conducted research, domestic analogs of materials of constituent elements of the gear hone are determined. Two manufacturing technologies were considered: pressing and injection molding. Two molds were made to test the technology: a simplified model consisting of two teeth and a round mold. Several methods of manufacturing hone teeth were analyzed: manufacturing of an abrasive layer with different degree of pre-vulcanization, subsequent introduction of gear material and final vulcanization of the whole product. The mechanical properties of the materials of the working abrasive layer and the annular gear were determined. The chemical composition of the components of the hone and the boundary zone are studied. As a result of the conducted research, recommendations on the formulation of the abrasive layer and the annular gear, technology of manufacturing of the gear hone intended for final treatment of teeth of heat-treated spur wheels of special purpose are given.
