航空宇宙用チタン分野におけるFlexform™ の利点
Flexform™ 高圧温間成形は、熱間成形、ホットスタンプ、超塑性成形、SPF、熱間ガス成形などの従来のチタン成形方法を代替または補完する新しい技術です。
50% reduction in production costs
Protection gas may be eliminated, due to the relatively low temperature process. Time for part cleaning after processing is reduced to a minimum, and the need for forming tool maintenance is also greatly reduced due to galling from the titanium blanks. Finally, the energy consumption is also greatly reduced, compared to traditional hot forming methods.
Five times increased throughput
The HPWF process, with less than 5 minutes cycle time, including heating, loading, forming and unloading, can handle multiple tools in one and the same forming cycle, while allowing for very rapid tool changes. Forming at relatively low temperatures enables quick cooling. The new Flexform™ HPWF process has a production capacity of some five times traditional hot-forming processes.
Forming repeatability
The flexibility of the process allows for springback compensation in the die design, hence compensation for material spring back can be implemented into the process, allowing final shape parts to come directly from the process.
