Titanium
Titanium Forged Parts
Titanium forgings or seamless rolled rings are used for specific applications where excellent strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance are required. Titanium end uses include rockets, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and submarine and ship components. Titanium has excellent anti-corrosion properties for marine, offshore, and saltwater environments.
Titanium alloys for open die forging and seamless rolled rings are include:
Commercially Pure (CP) GR 2, GR 3, GR 4, GR 5, and Ti-6AL-4V. Common specifications for titanium alloys include ASTM B381, AMS 4928, AMS 4931, SAE AMS 4921, and MIL-T-9047.
Although titanium has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any of the forging materials, it carries an equally high cost. It is mostly used by the U.S. military in their high-end aerospace, aircraft, rockets, and ships. General commercial use in industry is less common where cost is always a consideration.
The chemical and mechanical properties of titanium alloys make them an excellent choice for component parts finish-machined from round, flat, square and hex bars, blocks and rectangles, discs and rings, cylinders, or shapes with steps, flanges, or complex finish machining requirements.
The metallurgy of titanium and titanium alloys is quite complicated, involving phase changes from alpha through alpha-beta to beta, depending upon alloy additions. The Ti-6Al-4V alpha-beta alloy is the most commonly used titanium-based material. Alloying additions including aluminum, tin, molybdenum, vanadium, and chromium. These element additions affect forgeability, which is mostly good to excellent.
All Metals and Forge Group is familiar with the melting, forging, and the heat treatment of these alloys for their resultant mechanical properties and corrosion resistance.
All Metals & Forge Group takes great pride in maintaining one of the most stringent ISO9001, AS9100 quality systems in the open die forging and seamless rolled ring industry. It begins with learning the customer’s end use, required forging surface condition, mechanical properties of the specified material and alloy, forged shape, heat treatment, delivery need, and competitive price, coupled with forging soundness proven by ultrasonic testing, and care in packing goods to arrive in pristine condition at the customer’s desired location. Every step is monitored by the quality system at AMFG and continuously improved.
AMFG performs rough machining to within 3mm of finish dimensions to reduce the CNC cost at the customer’s machine shop for all the forged shapes the company produces. The rough machined surface condition is 250 RMS so that proper quality testing can be performed on each part – the AMFG standard.
The company can perform finish machining to within .001 of an inch for final tolerance and 64 or 32 RMS surface finish. This level of quality and precision is unique in an industry where other companies’ parts are often delivered black, as forged, or with a rough machined surface of 500 RMS without the internal or external steps and dimensions to reduce machining costs.
From inquiry to invoice, All Metals & Forge Group quality is managed and not assumed. Whether the need is for one part, an entire project, or a production run, AMFG delivers.
