ZHANG Zhixin, FAN Jiangkun, LI Ruifeng, TANG Bin, WANG Jian, LI Jinshan. Review of Titanium Alloy Plate Rolling Technology (Part 1) ——Sheet Forming Technology[J]. Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology, 2023, 66(10): 22-33.
Titanium alloy sheet products are widely used in aviation
aerospace
marine
shipbuilding and other national defense fields. The manufacturing technology of titanium alloy sheet is still not fully matured though it has been continuously broken through and improved over the years. In this paper
the status of titanium alloy sheet manufacturing technology is summarized. The rolling process of sheet metal is introduced
the progress and problems are analyzed emphatically. The rolling technology and microstructure characteristics of different titanium alloys (α titanium alloy
α + β titanium alloy and β titanium alloy) are compared by reviewing the process of cold rolling and pack ply-rolling. The key process and common problems in the rolling process of titanium alloy sheet are clarified and specific solutions are put forward. Finally
the research focus and development direction of titanium alloy sheet rolling technology in China are prospected.
