Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of titanium alloy processing, and particularly relates to a preparation method of large-weight, large-thickness and ultra-wide high-toughness titanium alloy plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Titanium alloy has been developed since the 1950s, and is an important structural metal, which has the characteristics of low density, high strength, high corrosion resistance and high toughness, and can be widely applied in the fields of aviation, aerospace and navigation. With the continuous development of titanium industry, the consumption and specifications of titanium alloy products are also increasing. Especially in the field of deep-sea equipment, the demand for titanium alloy plates is increasing. Titanium alloy has high strength, low density and excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it an ideal material for manufacturing deep-sea equipment pressure hulls. Titanium alloy plates also have application potential for aircraft carriers' flight decks, which can withstand the impact of aircraft take-off and landing and the corrosion of marine environment due to their high strength and corrosion resistance. Therefore, the development of large-weight and large-specification titanium alloy plates is the vision of titanium alloy design and development in the field of deep-sea equipment application.

[0003] However, the preparation of large-specification titanium alloy plates is limited by objective factors such as process design and equipment capacity. In addition, titanium alloy has poor thermal conductivity, large deformation resistance, and sensitive microstructure to temperature process parameters, which makes the deformation uniformity of titanium alloy decrease during forging, and defects such as overheating, local coarse grains and bright bands are easily produced in the microstructure, which seriously affects the microstructure uniformity and mechanical properties. In addition, the deformation process parameters such as deformation amount and deformation rate during hot working of titanium alloy will affect the surface quality of the material. Improper process parameter setting will increase the defects such as surface cracks of the material, and increase the difficulty of subsequent hot working or plate surface treatment process. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a reasonable titanium alloy plate preparation method which can improve the microstructure uniformity and ensure that the large-specification high-toughness titanium alloy plate product has a high performance safety margin and mechanical property uniformity. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a preparation method of large-weight, large-thickness and ultra-wide high-toughness titanium alloy plate, which uses large-specification ingots obtained by three-time VAR vacuum consumable arc melting for plate preparation, and prepares plate blanks through multiple upsetting and drawing and widening, and then obtains finished plates through reversing rolling, and finally obtains finished plates with excellent plate shape, microstructure and performance through heat treatment and straightening.

In step S2, after each upsetting and elongation forging, chamfering treatment is performed, the chamfering reduction L=(0.1-0.15)×square billet cross-section diagonal length, and grinding after forging, the depth-width ratio after grinding being less than 1:9; S3: plate rolling of the shaped alloy slab obtained in step S2 to obtain a finished plate; specifically, the plate rolling adopts gradient heating: first heating to T β - (60~70) °C for 1~2h, and then heating to T β - (20~30) °C at a holding coefficient of 1.5~1.8; after discharging, the slab is transversely spread and rolled with the long side of the slab as the width direction; after rolling to the predetermined width, the slab is returned to the furnace for 2~3h, and then longitudinally rolled to the finished size; in step S3, the pass reduction of the transverse rolling is 10~15mm, and the pass reduction of the longitudinal rolling is 7~15mm; S4: performing a finished product heat treatment on the finished product plate obtained in step S3, including performing annealing treatment and hot straightening; specifically, performing annealing treatment on the plate, the annealing temperature T β - (20~40) ℃, the heat preservation coefficient is 2~4, after discharging, high temperature is used for straightening, and after straightening, air cooling is performed to room temperature.
