Abstract

Commercial purity titanium (IMI 125) and a Ti–Cu alloy (IMI 230) in sheet form have been deep drawn at room temperature and at elevated temperatures. Cylindrical cups drawn at room temperature and at temperatures up to about 550°C develop four ear peaks at about 45° to the rolling direction (RD). When drawing is carried out at temperatures above 600°C, two ear peaks are formed at 90 and 270° to RD. The change in anisotropy is attributed to the temperature dependence of crystallographic slip modes, the high temperature behaviour being associated with basal plane slip. Drawing with a temperature gradient (cold punch, heated die) enables high drawing ratios to be achieved.MST/1352
