Hot Forming (HF)

Hot forming is a high-temperature, high-pressure metal forming process that utilizes the thermal plasticity of materials to shape complex components.

It is particularly suitable for titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, high-temperature alloys, and other high-strength metals that are difficult to form at room temperature.

During the hot forming process, both the die and the workpiece are heated, often up to 950°C, allowing the material to undergo controlled deformation with improved plasticity and elongation.

In some cases, semi-finished parts are re-formed under heat to enhance their mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy.

This process is essential for achieving lightweight, high-strength components in industries with demanding structural performance requirements.

Superplastic Forming (SPF)

Superplastic forming is a precision manufacturing process used to create complex, high-strength alloy components in a single step by exploiting the material’s superplastic behavior at elevated temperatures.

One commonly used method is TSPF (Two-Sheet Superplastic Forming), which combines extreme heat with inert gas like argon and may be integrated with diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) for advanced structural integrity.

In this process, the heated workpiece is clamped between a die cavity and a forming plate. Argon gas is then injected into the forming chamber, pressing the material into the cavity with uniform pressure. Typical forming temperatures range from 700°C to 1000°C, depending on the material.

Due to the precise thermal and mechanical demands of SPF, mold materials must exhibit high-temperature strength, excellent thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and cost-effective manufacturability.

This process is ideal for aerospace and high-performance applications where lightweight, intricately shaped parts are required without compromising material strength. gives operators exceptional control to form far more complex parts than possible with standard hot-forming processes.

Hot forming is a process that uses high heat and pressure to shape complex parts from materials like titanium, magnesium, and high-strength alloys. Both the mold and blank are heated, sometimes up to 950°C, to enhance plasticity and elongation during forming.

Hot forming is ideal for titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, high-temperature alloys, and other high-strength materials.

SPF is an advanced technique that takes advantage of titanium’s ability to undergo extreme elongation at elevated temperatures and low strain rates. This allows the material to be shaped into complex geometries without breaking, similar to molding plastics.
