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
