Research Progress on Precision Forming Technology for Titanium Alloy Corrugated Sheet of Honeycomb Core
In order to meet the requirements for high-precision and high-efficiency production of high-performance honeycomb sandwich structures
the research progress of precision forming technology of thin-walled titanium alloy honeycomb core and corrugated sheet are presented in this paper. Firstly
the components of thin-walled oneycomb sandwich structures and their excellent strength
stiffness and heat-resistant performance characteristics are introduced. Secondly
three main manufacturing methods for honeycomb cores are summarized
i.e.
stretching
additive manufacturing and stamping/rolling. The advantages
disadvantages and applicable conditions of the three methods are analyzed. Further
the thin-walled corrugated sheets manufactured by forming method are analyzed in detail: how such thin-walled structures can be fabricated based on stamping or rolling process are expounded
the uniformity improvement of foil deformation
springback reduction of thin-walled structures and forming accuracy enhancement obtained by controlling the material orientation
process parameters and external energy field are summarized. Lastly
the challenges and development aspects of titanium alloy honeycomb sandwich structures and corrugated sheets in precision forming are prospected.
