Products Description
Titanium forging is a specialized set of manufacturing processes used to create parts from titanium alloys. Which process is ultimately used depends on the metallurgical properties of the initial material, as well as the specific structure the forger wishes to create. Some of these processes include:
Open Die Forging
Titanium billet material is deformed and pressed into shape in a cavity between two dies. These dies do not completely encase the material, but rather provide a narrow gap to allow excess material to escape. Titanium is repeatedly pressed in the die cavities until the desired shape is achieved.
Closed Die Forging
Also known as compression die forging, this method uses high pressure compression molding of heated titanium blanks. The billet is fully or partially covered by a die, which are moved against each other from top to bottom to achieve the desired shape.
Free Forging
Small and/or simple orders can be accomplished by free forging, which is a method of forging titanium between two flat dies with no internal cavities. This is a relatively inexpensive and flexible method, but is not the most common method for forging large quantities of titanium due to high labor requirements.
Isothermal Forging
A process in which the starting material and the die are heated to equal and highly controlled temperatures to achieve a high rate of deformation with minimal stress.
Other types of titanium alloy forging, such as multidirectional die forging, extrusion die forging, partial die forging, and roll ring forging, rely on a similar combination of heat, pressure, and unique arrangement of dies to achieve the desired shape.
There are many advantages to forging titanium alloys, including:
high strength
corrosion resistance
heat resistance
biocompatibility
weldability
Performance and Application:
Titanium forgings have excellent strength density ratio and significant corrosion resistance. It can function normally on land, in the air, and even underwater - all of which demonstrate the versatility of titanium alloys. Titanium forgings can provide customized size precision parts for special applications that require the strength and versatility of titanium.
