TB10 Titanium Alloy Processing Technology

Choose the appropriate titanium alloy material, and carry out reasonable batching and pre-treatment. The purity and ratio of raw materials directly affect the quality and efficiency of subsequent processing.

Smelting: The raw materials are placed in a vacuum self-consuming electric arc furnace for smelting, and the raw materials are fully uniform through melting and mixing. The vacuum environment helps to reduce impurities and improve the uniformity and purity of the alloy composition.

Forging: Forging is an important part of titanium alloy processing, which improves the organizational structure and mechanical properties of the material through plastic deformation. The forging process of TB10 titanium alloy includes multiple steps such as billet-opening forging, three-way upsetting forging, and two-way upsetting forging. The forging temperature and forging ratio need to be strictly controlled during the forging process to avoid overheating, overburden, or uneven organization of the material problems.

Solution Aging Heat Treatment: The forged titanium alloy needs to be subjected to solution aging heat treatment to eliminate forging stress, adjust the organizational structure and improve mechanical properties. Solution treatment is usually carried out at high temperatures to fully dissolve the alloying elements in the titanium matrix; aging treatment is carried out at lower temperatures to precipitate the alloying elements in a certain form, thereby enhancing the strength and toughness of the material.

Cutting: Due to the poor cutting performance of titanium alloy, the choice of tool during cutting is essential.When cutting titanium alloy TB10, tool materials with high hardness and good wear resistance, such as cemented carbide or coated tools, should be selected. Cutting parameters include cutting speed, feed volume and cutting depth, etc. Their reasonable choice is of great significance to improve processing efficiency and ensure processing quality. During the cutting process, it is also necessary to pay attention to cooling and lubrication measures to prevent heat accumulation and tool wear.

Cleaning And Inspection: After the processing is completed, the work-piece should be cleaned and inspected to ensure that it meets the design requirements and quality standards.
