Three technologies for titanium alloy processing

Three technologies for titanium alloy processing

1. Vacuum melting technology

A vacuum smelting furnace for smelting alloy steel is used to heat and melt the titanium alloy into a liquid through the vortex generated in the furnace. The advantage is that the entire processing process is carried out in a vacuum, which can prevent impurities in the air from entering the metal and smelt high-quality alloys .

2. Isothermal forging technology

Die forging that heats the die to the deformation temperature of the blank and deforms at a low strain rate is called isothermal forging.

Titanium alloy isothermal forging technology is a new process. Combined with thermomechanical treatment, titanium alloy isothermal forgings with optimized comprehensive mechanical properties can be obtained. However, the cost investment in mold materials, mold manufacturing and mold heating devices is higher than that of conventional forging methods. Used in the manufacture of aircraft parts.

3. Cold forming technology

Without heating, processing methods such as punching, bending, and stretching of titanium alloys are called cold forming.

Titanium alloy special processing technology includes laser processing technology, electron beam processing technology, ion beam and plasma processing technology, electrical processing technology, etc. According to the cost choice, use these technologies to process titanium alloys.
