The heat rheological forming of the TC11 titanium alloy vane disk has been studied. The dies of rheological forming were 3D-modeled based on UG and the heat rheological forming of the TC11 titanium alloy under a certain temperature and a low strain rate was analyzed by DEFORM 3D based on variation principle of rigid viscoplastic non-compressed material. A series of results including rheological forming procedure, equivalent strain field, temperature field and load-stroke curves of punch and cavity die, were obtained by finite element method. The deformation characteristic of the TC11 titanium ...
