Process Modeling of Ti-6Al-4V SPM Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Structural Porous Metals (SPM) was specifically designed to offer large weight reductions in structural applications. The pores of gas are incorporated into the SPM during hot isostatic pressing. Since the gas in the pores are at high pressure and are closed isolated pores, SPM can be processed by standard methods such as rolling or forging without collapsing the gas pores. The objective of this paper is to show that the combination of computer simulation and intrinsic workability modeling provide a rapid and cost-effective way, for understanding the process and selecting the process parameters. This paper explains how SPM material data and developed material density updating scheme can be used in conjunction with the existing theory and FEM model.
