About Hot Forming
Hot forming can supply numerous benefits for companies, including:
- Increasing accuracy by way of eliminating springback
- Prevention of cracking (particularly when hot forming titanium)
- Producing complex shapes that are formed more simply and with tighter radii
- The process avoids the thinning of the material while forming
At its core, hot forming is a matched metal tool forming process that requires time, temperature, and pressure to successfully form materials. Materials that are suited for the hot forming process include:
- Titanium
- Certain grades of stainless steel
- Inconel
The necessary temperature of the blank, the tool, and the pressure needed for forming the final product all depends on the material being used and the product being formed.
Why Is Hot Forming Stainless Steel Beneficial for Aerospace?
Hot forming stainless steel is used for aviation and aerospace companies because select components for aircraft commonly need to be made of stainless steel to provide the robustness and corrosion resistance required.
Some key steel parts that utilize steel include engine and exhaust components, landing gear components, and key superstructure joints. At Cutting Dynamics, our hot forming press is able to provide hot forming for stainless steel sheets to produce diverse components.
