Abstract

In the present study, design and forming process of fabricating titianium lightweight components are developed with applicaton of superplastic forming and diffusion bonding technology. SPF/DB(Superplastic forming/Diffusion bonding) technology is one of the advanced technologies to reduce production cost and weight and currently applied to aircrafts and space launchers in foreign countries. The present study constructs an analysis model to predict superplastic forming behavior of titanium alloy, which is well known for its resistance to deform. The experimental results show the forming of titanium lightweight sandwich structure is successfully performed from 3 sheets of Ti-6Al-4V. The results demonstrate that the developed technology to process design of SPF/DB by the finite element method can be applied to various types of components.

본 연구에서는 초소성성형/확산접합 기술을 이용하여 티타늄 부품의 설계 및 성형 공정을 개발하였다. 초소성성형/확산접합 기술은 제작비용 및 무게를 감량할 수 있는 첨단기술로서 우주항공선진국에서는 이미 실용화하여 전투기, 우주왕복선의 부품 제작에 사용하고 있다. 난 가공성 재료로 알려진 티타늄 합금을 유한요소법을 사용하여 초소성성형중의 거동을 예측하였고, 3장의 Ti-6Al-4V판재를 사용하여 티타늄 경량 샌드위치 패널의 제작공정을 확립하였다. 제작한 부품의 평가결과 이론적인 예측과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.
