Titanium Alloy Forging Die Forging Technology
Titanium alloy is a very high-end material used for forging various objects. Compared with other materials such as steel, aluminum, and even stainless steel, titanium alloy has higher hardness, corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties. It is a new generation of engineering material that has been widely used in aerospace, medical and other fields. The technology of forging titanium alloy can be divided into die forging, hammer forging, extrusion and so on. Among them, the die forging process is the most commonly used, due to its high repeatability, symmetry and high density of the material surface.
In the die forging process of titanium alloy, the tool structure (die-forming design, forming force) is a very important factor affecting the quality of the parts. It directly affects the whole die forging process, including the die-forming design, carrying out the forming force, and finally the feeding performance. In order to improve the forming performance of titanium alloy, it is necessary to make proper design of the die, and reasonably determine the die forging parameters. The choice of the die forging process is an important factor in obtaining good metallurgical properties and surface quality for parts made of titanium alloy.
For the titanium alloy, due to its high strength, high density, and good corrosion resistance, the forming pressure and temperature need to be increased during the die forging process, and the forming parts are often difficult to be formed, resulting in a large number of defective products.Therefore, strengthening tool design, reasonable selection of titanium alloy die forging parameters and lubrication methods, as well as improving the processing technology are particularly important.
When forging titanium alloy, the key point is to obtain the desired shape of the material as soon as possible. Apart from the die design and forming parameters, the tool body design also plays an important role. Through reasonable metal cutting and machining, the right shape of the tool body can be formed, and the position of the tool body should be allocated in accordance with the inertia conditions of the tool body. The correct setting of the forming force is also very important.
The traditional die forging method is mainly suitable for producing parts with relatively simple shapes, but in many cases, the forming force needs to be increased to produce high-performance forging parts. Under such circumstances, the ultra-precision die forging technology is often used, which has the advantages of high shape accuracy and complex finished product shapes.
Regardless of the technology and equipment used, when forging titanium alloy, precise control of the forging process parameters is essential. In addition, considering the high temperature during the production process and the unique shrinkage characteristics of titanium alloy, it is necessary to pay attention to the above matters during the die forging process of titanium alloy, such as the process of feeding and feeding reproduction. During the feeding process, the feeding and feeding reproduction should be taken into account, and the temperature of the surrounding environment should be maintained, so as to adjust the die forging parameters in real time and achieve a balanced effect.
In order to prevent the material from becoming brittle due to incomplete plastic deformation during the die forging process, the cross-section of the material should be uniform and smooth, and the cross-section of the material should be uniform and smooth, so as to reduce the possibility of material cracking and improve the wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the material. Finally, for the die forging process of titanium alloy, it is necessary to have a higher accuracy of the measuring instrument and to carry out comprehensive testing and analysis before and after the die forging process in order to ensure the quality of the parts.
In conclusion, die forging of titanium alloy is an important process for forming parts with complicated shapes, high accuracy, and good metallurgical properties. The die forging process should be carefully designed, and the parameters should be accurately calculated in order to obtain a high quality material surface and parts with better performance. The die forging process of titanium alloy requires a high degree of control and strict quality assurance, especially to ensure its unique corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
