This invention relates to the field of
metal pipe manufacturing technology, and discloses a method for manufacturing large-
diameter, thin-walled TA31
titanium alloy seamless pipes, comprising the following steps: mixing
sponge titanium and an intermediate
alloy and then melting to obtain a TA31
ingot;
forging the
ingot into a
titanium billet and
processing it into a bright rod; and detecting the β transformation temperature T of the bright rod. β Heat the light bar to T β A thick-walled tube blank is obtained by piercing once at 30-80 ℃; the thick-walled tube blank is then heated to T. β The thin-walled tube blank is obtained by extending and piercing at 20-50 °C. This invention combines a single β-region large-wall-thickness piercing with a single α-β two-phase region large-deformation extension piercing, which can produce tube blanks with superior
microstructure and properties, providing good initial conditions for subsequent
processing. It not only significantly improves product performance but also has high production efficiency and added value, resulting in good social and
economic benefits.
