Abstract

With the requirement of aviation and aerospace fields for high-strength Ti-3Al-2.5V titanium alloy bent tubes with high-performance, it is great significance to research the plastic deformation of Ti-3Al-2.5V tubes under compression to obtain desired flow stress curves. A finite element (FE) model of axial compression of Ti-3Al-2.5V tubes was established in this study. Using this model, deformation behaviors of κ12 mm × t0.9 mm Ti-3Al-2.5V tubes with different ratios of thickness to height (t/h) compressed under different frictions were analyzed. It is shown that the non-uniform deformation degree of the tubes increases with the decrease of t/h and the increase of friction coefficient. This means that a large t/h value and small friction can help to attain a uniaxial compression condition to obtain desired flow stress curves. Such compression conditions for the κ12 mm × t0.9 mm Ti-3Al-2.5V tube is that, t/h is not less than 0.6 and the friction coefficient is not greater than 0.05.
