Comparison of the Structure and Properties of a Tube from Titanium Alloy Ti – 3% Al – 2.5% V with Results of Digitalization of the Process of its Pressing

Metal Science and Heat Treatment volume 64, pages 458–464 (2022)Cite this article

Computer simulation of the action of pressing deformation over a section of a tube from titanium alloy Grade 9 is performed. Acomputer model is used to determine the forces developed by the pressing tool during fabrication of the tube under a peak load and in a steady stage. The values computed are comparable to the experimental data obtained in actual production. The adequacy of the simulation is checked by comparative analysis of the evolution of the structure, texture, physical and mechanical properties in cross section of the hot-pressed tube.
