To achieve zone heating, the forming die is divided into four main sections: a large end upper module 5, a large end lower module 10, a small end lower module 18 and a small end upper module 22. In order to reduce the heat loss of the die, an upper die heat insulation plate 4 and a lower die heat insulation plate 14 are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the die, and in order to prevent the heat from influencing the press, an upper die water cooling plate 3 and a lower die water cooling plate 13 are respectively arranged on the outer layers of the upper die heat insulation plate 4 and the lower die heat insulation plate 1. Arranging different heating elements in different areas of the die, specifically, mounting a small end heating element 15 on a small end upper die block 22 and a small end lower die block 18, mounting a large end heating element 12 on a large end upper die block 5 and a large end lower die block 10, additionally arranging an upper die partition heat insulation plate 23 between the large end upper die block 5 and the small end upper die block 22 of the die, and additionally arranging a lower die partition heat insulation plate 16 between the large end lower die block 10 and the small end lower die block 18 to reduce heat transfer at two ends; then, a large-end thermocouple 11 is respectively arranged on the large-end lower module 10, a small-end thermocouple 17 is arranged on the small-end lower module 18, temperature measurement and control of the large-end upper module 5, the large-end lower module 10, the small-end upper module 22 and the small-end lower module 18 are respectively carried out, different areas of the die can be heated to different temperatures, namely the temperature of the large end of the tube blank is heated to T1, the temperature of the small end of the tube blank is heated to T2, and T2 is greater than T1, so that a temperature field with lower large-end temperature and higher small-end temperature is obtained, and the temperature field is specifically shown in FIG. 4.

(2) And (5) forming by air pressure. After the set temperature fields are obtained in different areas of the die, the two ends of the tube blank 2 are sealed by using the large-end punch 7 and the small-end punch 20, and then compressed gas is rapidly injected into the tube blank 2 through the air inlet 9 according to the designed air pressure loading curve, so that the tube blank expands and deforms under the action of air pressure p and is attached to the die, and the large-section-difference tube fitting is obtained, as shown in fig. 5.

Under the air pressure, if the small end of the tube blank 2 can be synchronously deformed with the large end of the tube blank 2, the peak flow stress of the small end of the tube blank 2 is still estimated according to a calculation formula of an air pressure loading curve, and the peak flow stress of the small end of the tube blank 2 can be reduced to 171MPa according to the peak flow stress data of TC4 titanium alloy with different temperatures shown in the table 1, and at the moment, if the small end of the tube blank 2 is heated to 800 ℃, so that the small end deformation condition of the tube blank 2 is met.
Under the differential temperature condition that the temperature of the large end of the tube blank 2 is 700 ℃ and the temperature of the small end of the tube blank 2 is 800 ℃, the synchronous deformation of the large end and the small end of the large-section differential pipe fitting can be realized by adopting the air pressure of 3.54 MPa.
In the embodiment, the forming temperatures of different deformation areas of the tube blank 2 can be controlled by regulating and controlling the temperature distribution of different areas of the die, so that the problem of asynchronous forming of the different deformation areas caused by the difference of the sections of the tube blank 2 during integral heating air pressure forming is solved; by reasonably selecting the temperatures of different areas and designing the air pressure loading curve under the differential temperature condition, the combination of the temperature and the air pressure can be utilized, so that the pipe fitting 1 can realize the near-uniform strain rate forming at different positions under the same air pressure action, and the uniformity of the wall thickness distribution can be improved; when the differential temperature forming is carried out, local heating and temperature control are carried out according to the forming requirement of the pipe fitting 1, so that excessive heating of the large end of the pipe blank 2 is avoided, or excessive air pressure is applied to the large end of the pipe blank 2, the forming efficiency is improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.
