Titanium
Flowforming titanium allows parts to be formed to a "near-net" shape, resulting in less waste and less machining in the final product.
PMF can manufacture titanium components for a range of applications, including titanium billets, bars and forgings.
Common forms of Titanium:
- Commercially pure titanium
- Titanium 6AL-4V
- Titanium 3AL-2.5V
Benefits of Titanium:
- Reduces weight
- High strength
- Flowforming Titanium increases its mechanical properties
- Titanium can be flowformed at low temperatures, eliminating corrosion stress (alpha-case)
Considerations of Titanium:
- Expensive
- Longer lead times on raw material
Applications of Titanium:
- Performance automotive parts
- Aerospace
- Military and defense components
- Many other hollow shape applications
PMF can manufacture titanium components for specific applications from titanium billets, bars and forgings.
