Abstract

Distribution of the third main deformation the hemispherical shell from a conical blankIn the present work, the process of superplastic forming of hemispherical shells from blanks of different profiles on the basis of computer modeling is considered. A relevant task in superplastic forming of shells is to reduce the thickness difference, which will significantly improve the quality of their geometric characteristics with a general reduction in the cost of production. It is shown that the forming of a hemispherical shell from a billet of constant thickness with a fixed flange leads to an inevitable appearance of thickness differenses. It has been shown in a number of works that, in the case of superplastic forming of hemispherical shells from blanks of constant thickness made of titanium alloys, the difference in thickness exceeds 50 %. Various methods have been tried to solve this problem. From the analysis of published works, it follows that the solution to this problem lies in the use of a profiled blank. Traditionally, it is suggested to use a blank with a spherical profile. In the present work, a blank with a conical profile was used, since such a shape of the blank is easier both in manufacture and in calculations compared to a spherical one. The superplastic forming process was simulated using the ANSYS 10ED software package. Using the example of the formation of a hemispherical shell made of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, it was found that the use of a blank with a conical profile makes it possible to reduce the thickness difference down to 7 %.
