Processing technology of TC24 titanium alloy
一. Processing method
Forging:
Forging is a commonly used method in the processing of TC24 titanium alloy. Since TC24 titanium alloy has good forgeability and plasticity, forgings of the required shape and size can be obtained by forging.
During the forging process, it is necessary to control parameters such as heating temperature and deformation to ensure the quality and performance of the forgings.
After forging, TC24 titanium alloy forgings usually need to be heat treated to eliminate forging stress and improve the performance of the material.
Hot rolling:
Hot rolling is another important processing method. Products in the shape of plates and strips can be obtained by hot rolling.
During the hot rolling process, TC24 titanium alloy is fed into the rolling mill at high temperature for rolling. Through multiple rolling passes, the required thickness and width of the plate can be obtained.
The surface quality of the TC24 titanium alloy plate after hot rolling is good, and the internal structure is dense and has good mechanical properties.
Hot extrusion:
Hot extrusion is a processing method in which the TC24 titanium alloy is heated to a certain temperature and then extruded through an extrusion die.
Hot extrusion can obtain products in the shape of tubes, bars, etc., and the products have high precision and surface quality.
During the hot extrusion process, it is necessary to control parameters such as extrusion temperature and extrusion speed to ensure the quality and performance of the products.

二. Processing characteristics
High temperature processing:
TC24 titanium alloy processing is usually carried out at high temperature to improve the plasticity of the material and reduce deformation resistance.
High temperature processing helps to obtain products with complex shapes and precise dimensions.
Deformation control:
During the processing process, the deformation amount needs to be strictly controlled to avoid defects such as cracks and folds.
Reasonable deformation helps to improve the organizational structure and performance of the material.
Heat treatment:
The processed TC24 titanium alloy products usually need to be heat treated to eliminate processing stress and improve the performance of the material.
The choice of heat treatment temperature and time has an important influence on the final performance of the product.
