TC4/TC11 titanium alloy forming process comparison and performance analysis
In order to realize the effective connection of TC4 and TC11 titanium alloys,the tensile properties and plasticity of TC4/TC11 titanium alloys were improved.In this study,TC4 and TC11 titanium alloy powders were solution treated,and the two materials were welded by two forming processes:simple laser and point forging laser.In order to verify the comprehensive properties of TC4/TC11 titanium alloy,the surface morphology of titanium alloy materials was observed and its tensile properties were tested.According to the results,compared with the simple laser process,the TC4/TC11 titanium alloy prepared by the point forging laser forming process has stronger tensile properties,and the tensile strength and yield strength are increased by 105.2%and 116.4%,respectively.In addition,compared with TC4/TC11 titanium alloys without solution treatment,the solution-treated alloy materials have higher plasticity,which helps to improve the machinability of titanium alloy materials.It is found that solution treatment and point forging laser forming process can effectively improve the tensile and machinability of TC4/TC11 titanium alloy.
