Abstract
Clarifying the bending deformation behaviour of metal foils is essential for meeting the lightweighting requirements of metal honeycomb structures. This study selected Ti65 alloy specimens with various thicknesses and initial α-phase textures to conduct room-temperature three-point bending experiments. A detailed comparative analysis was performed on the bending deformation behaviour of Ti65 alloy sheets and foils. It reveals that in the foil specimens, the weakening effect of surface layer grains is significant. Under the influence of size effects, the springback angle of Ti65 alloy foils with coarse α-phase grains decreases markedly. Additionally, through various methods, including global Schmid factor analysis, lattice rotation analysis, and crystal plasticity finite element method simulations, the specific relationship between α-phase texture and the bending performance of Ti65 alloy foils was thoroughly investigated. The rolling process influences the bending performance of Ti65 alloy by determining the α-phase texture. Unidirectionally rolled Ti65 alloy products exhibit a transverse α-phase texture, which predisposes them to form transverse texture α-phase macrozones during bending. In contrast, cross-directionally rolled Ti65 alloy foils possess a basal α-phase texture biased toward the transverse direction. This not only helps avoid the formation of macrozones but also ensures coordinated deformation across the foil, resulting in superior bending performance.
