METHOD FOR MAKING HIGH-STRENGTH FOIL OF TITANIUM Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: plastic working of metals, possibly manufacture of thin high-strength foil of titanium.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises steps of multi-pass reversing cold rolling and vacuum annealing; repeating cycle; using as initial blank titanium blank with ultra-fine grain structure provided due to intensified plastic deformation by equal-duct angular pressing process; rolling at pitch 15 - 8% for achieving total deformation 70 - 86 % per one cycle; setting number N of cycles necessary for making foil with thickness h according to mathematical expression; realizing vacuum annealing, preferably at temperature 350 -360 C for 0.5 - 1 h. Invention provides possibilities for making titanium foil with thickness up to 10 micrometers.

EFFECT: enhanced strength characteristics of titanium foil of lowered thickness with the same technological platicity7777.
