Titanium Forging

Titanium Forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping titanium or titanium alloys using compressive forces to achieve desired shapes and properties. It is a widely used technique in industries where high strength, lightweight materials are required, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical.

During the titanium forging process, a solid billet or ingot of titanium is heated to a specific temperature to increase its malleability. It is then placed between two dies and subjected to compressive forces through mechanical or hydraulic presses. The application of pressure causes the titanium to deform and take on the shape of the dies, resulting in a forged part with improved mechanical properties.

One of the key advantages of titanium forging is the enhanced strength of the final product. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the titanium, resulting in a more uniform and refined microstructure. This leads to improved mechanical properties, including higher tensile and yield strength, as well as increased fatigue resistance.

Titanium forging also allows for precise control over the shape and dimensions of the final part. Complex geometries, such as turbine blades, aerospace components, and medical implants, can be achieved through forging, ensuring tight tolerances and excellent dimensional accuracy.
