Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, characteristics of advanced hot forming technology, pulse current assisted forming technology and electromagnetic assisted forming technology, and progress of these technologies application in titanium alloy thin-wall sheet forming had been reviewed. Hot forming is the most widely used forming process in the plastic processing of titanium alloy. The forming of complex titanium alloy parts can be realized by taking advantage of plastic deformation softening of titanium alloy at high temperature. Pulse current and electromagnetic assisted forming technology have not been widely used in industry, but they present potential application prospects in the forming of high strength and hard-deformation materials.
