At present, most of the domestic titanium alloy sheet production still adopts single-piece rolling. Due to the poor low-temperature plasticity of titanium alloys and large cold deformation work hardening, it is extremely difficult to produce thin plates by the monolithic method. In order to make the rolling process go smoothly and reduce the temperature drop of the metal during the forging process, especially to reduce the surface chilling of the blank, the die for forging the titanium alloy needs to be preheated. Otherwise, the temperature drop and surface chilling of the metal will make the metal not fill the mold groove well and may cause many cracks. The die preheating system for titanium alloy forging is usually detachable, but sometimes a heating device installed on a press is also used. The detachable mold heating system is usually a gas heater, which can slowly heat the mold to the required temperature range before the module is assembled into the forging equipment. The heating device fixed on the press usually adopts induction heating or resistance heating. With the expansion of the market, the new technology of superplastic forming and diffusion bonding of titanium alloy sheet has been widely used.
