    Finite Element Simulation of Superplastic Forming of TC4 Titanium Alloy Hemispherical Part

    • 摘要: 建立TC4钛合金半球零件超塑成形有限元模型,研究了恒温条件下正向气胀和先反向后正向气胀成形对半球零件壁厚的影响;基于温度场修正的Backofen本构方程,模拟了在非均匀温度场条件下半球零件的超塑成形并分析了其壁厚分布。试制出TC4钛合金半球零件,通过实测壁厚对模拟结果进行验证。结果表明:先反向后正向气胀成形工艺有利于半球零件壁厚的均匀分布,降低了零件的壁厚最大减薄率;非均匀温度场条件下半球零件壁厚均匀程度较恒温条件下低;相比于恒温条件,非均匀温度场条件下半球零件壁厚的模拟结果与实测结果更接近,平均相对误差为4.7%,半球零件中心点处壁厚的相对误差也仅为6.1%。

       

      Abstract: Finite element model for superplastic forming of TC4 titanium alloy hemispherical part was established, and the effect of direct bulging and bidirectional bulging forming on the wall thickness of the hemispherical part under constant temperature was studied. The superplastic forming process of the hemispherical part under non-uniform temperature field was simulated based on the temperature field modified Backofen constitutive equation, and the wall thickness distribution was analyzed. The TC4 titanium alloy hemispherical part was producted, and the wall thickness was measured to verity the simulation. The results show that the bidirectional bulging forming process was beneficial to the uniform distribution of thickness of the hemispherical part and reduced the maximum thinning rate of thickness of the part. The uniformity degree of thickness of the hemispherical part under non-uniform temperature field was lower than that under constant temperature. Compared with that at constant temperature, the wall thickness simulation of the hemispherical part under non-uniform temperature field was closer to the measured results; the average relative error was 4.7%, and the relative error of the wall thickness at the center point of the hemispherical part was only 6.1%.
