Simulation and Experiment Investigation on Superplastic Forming/Diffusion Bonding Process of a Ti-6Al-4V Alloy Rear Fuselage Part

Article Preview

Abstract:

Superplastic forming/diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) process is widely used in aviation titanium alloy parts forming. PAM-STAMP was utilized to simulate the SPF/DB process of a Ti-6Al-4V double layer structure part in rear fuselage at 920°C and reach the thickness distribution of the part. Then the part was formed based on simulation. The thickness distribution of the practical part was measured and compared with the simulation result. The results show that the thickness distributions of practical and simulated part fit well with each other.
