Superplastic Forming/Diffusion Bonding Technology for Hollow Double Layer Structure of TA15 Titanium Alloy With Local Weight Reduction[J]. Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology, 2023, 66(9): 68-74.
High-temperature tensile tests were performed on TA15 titanium alloy at strain rates of 0.001 s

were calculated. Finite element simulations were used to analyze the thickness distribution of the double-layered structural component
and
pressure–time curves were obtained. At the temperature of 920 ℃
the hollow double layer structural parts with local weight reduction are made by using pre-hollow panels SPF/DB
the minimum wall thickness is 0.31 mm
the diffusion area of the component was analyzed by ultrasonic C-scan
and the results showed that the bonding ratio is higher than 95%.
