Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of titanium alloy material processing, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency homogenization forging method for large-size titanium alloy ingots. Background Art

[0002] Titanium alloys have been widely used in aviation, aerospace, ships, weapons, petroleum, chemical industry, medical and other fields due to their high specific strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, weldability and other excellent properties. With the implementation of major projects in the fields of aviation, aerospace, ships, etc., the performance requirements of materials are constantly increasing, and the material specifications are also increasing. For example, the demand for large-sized wide and thick plates, super-large-sized titanium alloy bars (diameter greater than 300mm), etc. is growing, which requires the material billet specifications to continue to increase. However, the larger the billet specifications, the more difficult it is to process the material, the poorer the forging uniformity, and the more difficult it is to homogenize the organization.

[0003] In order to ensure uniformity, conventional processing requires cutting the ingot into smaller pieces and then performing multiple uniform deformations to ensure the forgeability and uniformity of the material structure, but it cannot meet the use requirements of large forgings; at the same time, due to the reduction of the billet and the increase in the number of furnaces, the processing cost of the material will increase, and the organizational properties of each billet will also be different. Therefore, it is more conducive to reducing costs and improving the uniformity of the forging structure to use large-sized ingots for direct forging. At present, the height-to-diameter ratio of large-sized titanium alloy ingots generally exceeds 2.5, while the height-to-diameter ratio is required not to exceed 2.5 during conventional forging; a larger height-to-diameter ratio is prone to billet bending or double drumming during the upsetting process, and a larger cross-sectional area will also increase the deformation dead zone, resulting in uneven organizational deformation during the billet forging process. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art and provide a high-efficiency homogenization forging method for large-size titanium alloy ingots. The forging method obtains a forging blank with a height-to-diameter ratio suitable for deformation by performing slow pressure upsetting and shaping, and can inhibit excessive growth of grains during deformation, and timely release part of the stress concentration that occurs during deformation, so as to ensure that the ingot does not crack while the grains are broken; by adopting the process of chamfering flattening and chamfering elongation during forging, the forging blank can be uniformly deformed at multiple angles, avoiding the small or no deformation of the contact part between the forging blank and the anvil surface during the deformation process, and the cracking or uneven deformation of the side of the forging blank under the action of tensile stress, solving the problem of billet bending or double drumming and uneven deformation during forging of large-size ingots.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a high-efficiency homogenization forging method for large-size titanium alloy ingots, characterized in that the forging method comprises the following steps:

[0006] Step 1, heating an ingot with a height-to-diameter ratio greater than 2.5 to 150° C. to 250° C. above the phase transition point, and then performing a first forging to obtain a first forging blank with a height-to-diameter ratio less than 2.5; the first forging process includes slow pressing and upsetting deformation, and shaping during the slow pressing and upsetting deformation process;

[0007] Step 2, returning the first forging blank obtained in step 1 to the furnace for heat preservation and then performing a second forging to obtain a second forging blank;

[0008] Step 3, heating the second forging blank obtained in step 2 to 50°C to 150°C above the phase transformation point and then performing a third forging to obtain a third forging blank; the third forging process is: repeating the processes of chamfering and flattening along the height direction, shaping, upsetting along the height direction, and chamfering and lengthening along the length direction for 2 times;

[0009] Step 4, the third forging blank obtained in step 3 is kept at 20°C to 40°C below the phase transformation point and then subjected to a fourth forging to obtain a fourth forging blank;

[0010] Step 5, the fourth forging blank obtained in step 4 is kept at 10°C to 40°C above the phase transformation point and then water-cooled;

[0011] Step 6: After the fourth forging blank is water-cooled in step 5, it is kept at 20°C to 40°C below the phase transformation point, and then subjected to the fifth forging and shaping to obtain a forging with uniform structure.

[0012] The present invention sets the first forging and the first fire to be a relatively high temperature deformation of 150℃ to 250℃ above the phase transformation point. Under this temperature condition, the cast structure has good fluidity, high plasticity, low deformation resistance, and is easy to deform. Especially for large-sized ingots with coarse grain size, the deformed ingots are not easy to crack at this temperature; because the coarse grains are broken to a certain extent after the first forging, the internal structure is improved and the plasticity of the material is improved, so the temperature of the subsequent forging process is gradually reduced. By controlling the temperature to be 10℃ to 40℃ above the phase transformation point and then water cooling, the purpose is to homogenize the structure of the previous forging, and after water cooling, fine lamellar structure can be obtained, a certain distortion energy can be stored, and dynamic recrystallization is ensured in the subsequent forging process to obtain fine equiaxed grains.

[0013] The invention obtains a forging blank with a height-to-diameter ratio suitable for deformation by performing slow pressure upsetting and shaping, and can inhibit excessive growth of crystal grains during deformation and timely release partial stress concentration occurring during deformation, so as to ensure that the ingot does not crack while the crystal grains are broken; the heat loss during the previous deformation process is supplemented by remelting and heat preservation, so as to facilitate subsequent upsetting and drawing forging; then, the material is ensured to have good fluidity by controlling the temperature above the phase transition point, and multi-angle uniform deformation forging is performed in combination with chamfering flattening and chamfering drawing, which can reduce the contact area between the forging blank and the forging anvil and reduce the deformation dead zone, and can improve the deformation uniformity of the edges and corners and the forging blank, so as to avoid the small deformation or no deformation of the contact part between the forging blank and the anvil surface during the deformation process, and the cracking or uneven deformation of the side surface of the forging blank under the action of tensile stress, specifically:

[0014] Chamfering and flattening along the height direction can reduce the contact area between the blank and the forging anvil in the subsequent upsetting process, and reduce the deformation dead zone; chamfering and stretching along the length direction can avoid the deformation at the corners and the contact surface with the forging anvil from being inconsistent with the deformation of the core, and avoid repeated upsetting and stretching.

[0015] The above-mentioned high-efficiency homogenization forging method for a large-size titanium alloy ingot is characterized in that the pressing rate of the slow upsetting deformation in step 1 is 30 mm / s to 40 mm / s, and the pressing amount is 15% to 30%; the insulation time t1 is calculated by the following formula:

[0020] t2=η2×D2;

[0021] Among them, t2 is the insulation time, the unit is min; D2 is the minimum cross-sectional average thickness of the second forging blank in step three, the unit is mm; η2 is the heating coefficient, the value range is 0.6 to 0.8.

[0022] The above-mentioned high-efficiency homogenization forging method for a large-size titanium alloy ingot is characterized in that the upsetting deformation in the fourth forging in step 4 is not less than 2 times, and the cumulative deformation of the single upsetting deformation is not less than 85%; the insulation time t3 is calculated by the following formula:

[0023] t3 = η3 × D3;

[0024] Wherein, t3 is the holding time, in min; D3 is the minimum cross-sectional average thickness of the third forging blank described in step 4, in mm; η3 is the heating coefficient, in the range of 0.6 to 0.8.

[0025] The present invention ensures that the accumulated deformation of a single upsetting deformation is not less than 85%, thereby ensuring that the forging blank does not crack while ensuring that the deformation of a single upsetting deformation is large enough.

[0026] The above-mentioned high-efficiency homogenization forging method for a large-size titanium alloy ingot is characterized in that the insulation time t2 in step 5 is calculated by the following formula:

[0030] The present invention is used to ensure that the forging blank is fully deformed by setting the number of upsetting deformations and the cumulative deformation amount of a single upsetting deformation to be not less than 80%.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0035] 1.

[0036] 2. The present invention avoids the reduction of billet size caused by the use of split-material forging in the prior art and the differences in organizational properties between billets by forging a large-sized ingot as a whole.

[0037] 3. The present invention can homogenize the two-phase region structure after forging in the β region by forging below the phase transformation point, keeping warm above the phase transformation point, and then water cooling, thereby providing a forging blank with uniform structure for subsequent forging. At the same time, the needle-shaped martensite produced after water cooling can be broken in the forging process to produce fine equiaxed grains, thereby optimizing the performance while homogenizing the forging blank structure.

[0038] 4. The present invention determines the holding time by the cross-sectional size of the ingot or the forging blank at each stage. The heat progress during the holding period is 1 mm per minute. Therefore, the basic heating time is taken as 0.5 times of the cross-sectional size. Then, the heating coefficient is increased based on the basic heating time according to the blank conditions and the cross-sectional size to ensure that the ingot or the forging blank at each stage is fully heated.
