Numerical Simulation of Hot Bending for Titanium Alloy Sheet
A finite element model is established to simulate the hot bending process of titanium alloy sheet by using ABAQUS software. The stress and strain distribution and the influence of process parameters on the forming process are analyzed. The results indicate that deformation distribution mainly concentrates at the center position of the thickest area. When the new contact position appears between the upper die and the sheet
the forming sheet enters the correction bending phase and the forming force increases sharply. When holding 600s
the maximum springback displacement and the upper die forming force reduces 84% and 94%
respectively. The simulated result shows a good agreement with the deformed part at the same conditions.
