Cutting Dynamics has been a leading manufacturer of aircraft components for over 30 years. In 2018, we invested in a hot forming titanium press in order to better accommodate the growing demand for titanium aerospace parts, commonly used in jet engines and firewalls.

Hot forming has several key advantages, which include:

  • Increased accuracy due to the elimination of springback
  • Complex shapes can be more easily formed with tighter radii
  • Cracking is inhibited especially when forming titanium

The Process of Hot Forming Titanium and Other Alloys

In essence, hot forming is a matched metal tool forming process that relies on time, temperature, and pressure. Generally, this press operates at temperatures of up to 1600 °F.

Depending on the product being formed, those working directly with the product will determine the proper temperature of the blank, tool, and the pressure required to form the component.

Why Is Titanium Used for Hot Forming?

The aerospace industry is a major user of titanium in their products, which is why hot forming titanium alloy is incredibly beneficial to the field. In fact, two-thirds of the amount of titanium produced is used exclusively in aircraft engines and frames. This is because the metal itself is known for its high strength and low weight.

With a solid resistance to corrosion and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal, titanium is a good choice within the industry for jet engines, firewalls, missiles, and other aviation-related products.

Impressive Features of Our Hot Forming Titanium Press

Some of the technological components that are part of our hot forming titanium press designed by Beckwood Press include:

  • 30” x 48” heated platens fabricated TMA® 4505 – a high-strength, heat-resistant alloy developed specifically for high-temperature applications. (Each platen contains nine heating zones to ensure temperature uniformity to within +/- 5 °F.

  • Door systems that are automatically insulated, which efficiently contains heat within the forming chamber and allows access during part or tool loading and unloading.

  • Structure engineered to the Infinite Life classification using finite element analysis (FEA) design software.
