Plastic processing technology and direction of titanium

Titanium plastic processing industry is a high energy consumption industry, hot rolling, annealing and heat treatment and other operations need high energy consumption. Reducing energy consumption in titanium processing and production is beneficial to reducing costs and saving energy. The way to solve the problem of high energy consumption in titanium industry is mainly to rely on scientific and technological progress, improve the process technology, develop efficient energy-saving process, develop automatic control technology and develop energy-saving technology in titanium processing. Titanium plastic processing production technology to achieve large-scale and continuous, production process to achieve mechanization and automation, the operation of each process using computer control, to improve labor productivity. Overseas large titanium alloy integral forging adopts 45KT or 75KT hydraulic press.

The plastic processing of titanium and titanium alloy has the characteristics of large deformation resistance, poor plasticity at room temperature, high ratio of yield limit and strength limit, large rebound, sensitive to the gap, easy to bond with the mold during deformation, and easy to adsorb harmful gases when heated. The plastic processing of titanium is more difficult than that of titanium and copper. The processing of titanium and titanium alloys must take these characteristics into account. Titanium and titanium alloy using plastic processing, processing size is not limited, and can be mass production. Plastic processing is the dominant method in titanium processing, and most titanium products are produced by this method.

At present, the traditional processing methods of titanium mainly include plastic processing, casting and powder metallurgy. The technological method of titanium plastic processing is to cast sponge titanium into ingot, and then process into titanium. Plastic processing methods include forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, stamping, spinning and so on. Through these plastic processing methods, titanium ingot can be processed into various shapes and sizes of titanium sheet, titanium strip, titanium foil, titanium tube, titanium rod, titanium mold, titanium line, titanium forging and titanium stamping parts and other products.
