Abstract

Abstract

Shape bending often occurs during the production process of titanium alloy bars, and thermal tension straightening is an effective straightening method. In this study, the thermal tension straightening model of TC4 bar was established by using the finite element simulation software ABAQUS. The influence of straightening process parameters such as straightening temperature, holding time and tensile elongation on the straightness and residual stress of TC4 bar was studied systematically. And the optimized straightening process parameters were obtained combined with the physical experiment of straightening. The results show that the higher the straightening temperature, the longer the holding time and the greater the thermal tensile amount, the smaller the straightness and the smaller the residual stress of TC4 bar. In view of the actual production conditions, the optimal process parameters for the straightening of TC4 titanium alloy bar are determined with a straightening temperature of 750 ℃, a thermal tensile amount of 2% and a holding time of 10 s.
