Abstract (en)

The present invention belongs to the field of amorphous alloy thermoplastic forming, and discloses a plastic forming and gradient toughening method and a device based on ultrasonic vibration. The method includes: (a) dividing one or more portions to be toughened on an amorphous alloy part to be formed, the portion being used for generating a nanocrystalline toughening phase; (b) designing a toughening device for forming, wherein the toughening device comprises one or more inserts connected to an ultrasonic vibration amplitude transformer and one or more heating rods, the insert is disposed corresponding to the portion to be toughened and used for applying ultrasonic vibration to the portion to be toughened, and the heating rod is used for heating raw material blank to be processed to a forming temperature, and (c) placing the raw material blank in the device, heating it by the heating rod, and performing mold closing of the device to form a required amorphous alloy part, ultrasonic vibration being started in the mold closing process and stopped when mold opening is performed. Meanwhile, the invention further discloses the utilized device. With the method of the present invention, toughening and thermoplastic forming can be performed at the same time, so that integration of forming and toughening is achieved, which simplifies production processes, shortens the processing time and improves the dimensional accuracy.
