Effect of hydrogen plasticization of titanium alloy chips on plastic deformation behavior
摘要
Study aimed at determining the optimal hydrogen concentrations and conditions for hydrogenation annealing in the hydrogen plasticization of titanium alloy chips of different groups are presented. Due to the large total surface area and thinness of the chips, as well as the developed surface of chip waste, it is expected that the effect of hydrogen plasticization will be maximized in this specific case. The hydrogen plasticization of various types of titanium alloy chips, including VT1‑0, VT3‑1, and VT5, was studied. The characteristics of thermocompression processing of different types of chips formed after various mechanical processes were identified. The Russian software complex Quartoform QForm, which implements the finite element analysis method, was used to conduct mathematical modeling of the compaction and consolidation processes of chips. Further, the briquetting and thermocompression of titanium alloy chips was investigated. The optimal hydrogen saturation concentrations for different grades of titanium alloys were determined. At these concentrations, the chip material exhibits maximum plasticity and minimal resistance to deformation. Further increases in hydrogen concentration led to hydrogen embrittlement of the titanium alloys. Additionally, the study found that the maximum effect of hydrogen plasticization on titanium alloy chips of all types occurs under conditions of hot thermocompression processing.
