What is Titanium Forging？

Titanium forgings are workpieces or blanks obtained by deforming titanium metal billets by forging. This process changes the mechanical properties of the titanium metal billet by applying pressure to it and causing it to deform plastically. Depending on the temperature at which the billet is processed, forgings can be categorized as cold forging, warm forging and hot forging. Cold forging is usually carried out at room temperature, while hot forging is carried out at temperatures above the recrystallization temperature of the titanium billet. Titanium forgings are used in a wide range of applications including, but not limited to, aerospace, automotive, marine, chemical, and medical devices. In the aerospace field, titanium forgings are used to manufacture lightweight, high-strength engine blades and aviation structural parts to improve the performance and safety of aircraft. In the field of medical devices, titanium forgings can be used to manufacture corrosion-resistant, biocompatible artificial bones and joints for surgical repair and prosthetic manufacturing. The production process of titanium forgings involves a number of key aspects such as alloy selection, pretreatment, heating, forging deformation, heat treatment and mechanical property testing to ensure product quality and performance.

Craftsmanship of Titanium Forging

Free forging
Free forging is generally carried out between two flat dies or molds without a cavity. The tools used in free forging are simple in shape, flexible, short in the manufacturing cycle, and low in cost. However, free forging has high labor intensity, difficult operation, low productivity, low forging quality, and large machining allowance. Therefore, it is only suitable for use when there are no special requirements for the performance of the parts and the number of parts is small.

Open die forging
The blank is deformed between two molds with cavities, the forging is confined in the cavity, and the excess metal flows out from the narrow gap between the two molds, forming burrs around the forging. Under the resistance of the mold and surrounding burrs, the metal is forced to be pressed into the shape of the mold cavity.

Closed die forging
In the closed die forging process, no transverse burrs perpendicular to the direction of die movement are formed. The cavity of the closed forging die has two functions: one is for forming the blank, and the other is for guiding.

Extrusion die forging
It refers to using the extrusion method for die forging, which includes forward extrusion die forging and reverse extrusion die forging. Extrusion die forging can manufacture all kinds of hollow and solid parts and can obtain forgings with high geometrical precision and denser internal structure.

Multi-directional die forging
Multi-directional die forging is performed on a multi-directional die forging machine. In multi-directional die forging, the slider acts alternately and jointly on the workpiece from the vertical and horizontal directions, and one or more perforation punches are used to make the metal flow outward from the center of the cavity to achieve the purpose of filling the cavity.

Partial die forging
In order to forge large integral forgings on the existing hydraulic pressure, partial die forging methods, such as segment die forging, pad die forging, etc. can be used. The feature of the partial die forging method is to process the forging piece by piece, processing one part at a time, so the required equipment tonnage can be very small. Generally speaking, this method can be used to process extra-large forgings on medium hydraulic presses.

Isothermal forging
Before forging, the mold is heated to the forging temperature of the blank, and the temperature of the mold and the blank remains the same throughout the forging process so that a large amount of deformation can be obtained under the action of a small deformation force.

Process of Titanium Forging

Material selection

The process begins with the selection of a suitable titanium alloy, which is chosen based on the desired properties of the final product.

Heating

The titanium is heated to a specific temperature that falls within its forging range, typically between 1,700°F and 2,200°F, to make it sufficiently malleable for shaping.

Forming

The heated metal is then formed using either open-die or closed-die forging techniques, depending on the complexity of the part.

Finishing

The forged titanium piece undergoes subsequent finishing operations such as heat treatment, machining, or surface treatments to achieve the required final properties and dimensions.

Titanium forgings testing methods

Shape Inspection: Check the surface of the forging for cracks, folds, inclusions and other defects to ensure that the size and shape meet the design requirements, which is key to assessing the stability of the forging during assembly and use.

Chemical Composition Inspection: Samples are intercepted from the forgings and compared with the standard values through grinding and composition analysis to ensure the accuracy of the chemical composition.

Non-destructive testing: ultrasonic testing, ray testing, magnetic particle testing and eddy current testing are used to detect whether there are cracks, porosity and other defects inside the forging to ensure the quality and performance of the forging.

Physical property test: including density test, hardness test, tensile property test and impact property test. Density testing calculates the density by measuring the weight and size to determine the purity of the forging; hardness testing evaluates the material's abrasion resistance and scratch resistance; tensile property testing understands the tensile strength through the tensile test. Tensile testing is used to understand parameters such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation through tensile testing. Impact testing reflects the toughness and brittle transition temperature of the material under impact load, which is of great significance in evaluating the safety performance of forgings in practical applications.
