Hot forging and titanium machining
Titanium is a particular resistant material, often used for hot forging. Mecolpress proposes furnaces and both hydraulic and mechanical presses suitable for the forging of titanium alloys of parts destined to different application sectors.
Mecolpress offers to its customers a wide range of presses for titanium hot forging and our sales department is always ready to offer a customized advice to suggest the best machinery according to the used alloy to forge and to the type of geometry the customer wants to obtain.
Titanium features
Titanium is lighter and much more resistant than steel: for this reason, it is often used in the medical sector for the realization of particular prothesis.
Characteristic features of titanium are:
- low specific weight,
- hardness,
- biocompatibility,
- non-toxicity,
- low thermal conductivity,
In addition to be widely used in the medial sector, titanium, thanks to its features, is a metal extremely versatile that can be used in many other sectors, including automotive, aerospace, industrial sector of mechanics and applications in field of sport.
Titanium forging: Mecolpress machines
The temperature for titanium billets forging is about 950°C and the one of the die is about 250°C, instead. The hot forging of titanium parts is very well suited to obtain the desired parts, since by using the right equipment it is possible to avoid all the problems this material should present during the melting.
For this reason, our sales department is at disposal of our customers in order to advice for the choice of the most suitable hydraulic or mechanical press and to suggest the modes of operations. Mecolpress can carry out a simulation test at our factory, thanks to Deform software, and a real forging test so that to grant to our customers that the chosen machine can forge high quality parts.
For further information regarding press models suitable for titanium hot forging, please refer to our sales managers that will be glad to examine in depth the matter.
