Analysis of pressure straightening technology for titanium alloys

Pressure straightening technology is particularly suitable for straightening large section workpieces such as titanium alloys. This technology utilizes the three-point reverse bending principle to cause elastic plastic bending of titanium alloy workpieces by applying pressure, and then uses the principle of elastic recovery to flatten the workpiece after unloading the external force. During this process, the elastic and plastic deformation characteristics of titanium alloy were fully utilized, thereby achieving effective straightening effect.
The key to pressure straightening titanium alloys lies in selecting appropriate straightening equipment and process parameters. Due to the high strength and hardness of titanium alloys, it is necessary to choose a pressure straightening machine with sufficient driving force and accuracy. Meanwhile, based on the size, shape, and material characteristics of titanium alloy workpieces, a reasonable straightening process plan needs to be developed, including the magnitude of straightening force, control of straightening speed, and determination of straightening times.

In practical applications, pressure straightening of titanium alloys still faces some challenges. For example, titanium alloys have low thermal conductivity and are prone to thermal stress during straightening, which can affect straightening accuracy and workpiece performance. In addition, titanium alloys also cause severe wear and tear on straightening equipment, requiring regular maintenance and replacement of equipment components.

To address these issues, researchers are continuously exploring and improving pressure straightening techniques for titanium alloys. On the one hand, by optimizing the straightening equipment and process parameters, the straightening accuracy and efficiency can be improved; On the other hand, by developing new wear-resistant materials and coating technologies, the service life of straightening equipment can be extended.
In summary, pressure straightening technology for titanium alloys is a challenging task, but through continuous innovation and improvement, we can overcome the difficulties and provide more reliable and efficient straightening methods for the processing and application of titanium alloys.
