White Paper - Formability of Titanium Ti-6Al-4V sheets at moderate temperature combined with high-pressure

Costly and time-consuming high-temperature forming methods have limited the use of Ti-6Al-4V to highly stressed components in narrowly specialized and small volume applications, ideal for applications where less than ~1000 parts per year is required, and in vide varieties. A new forming technology, High Pressure Warm Forming process (HPWF) combines high pressure with a moderately elevated temperature for a more rapid and cost-effective forming of aerospace-grade titanium parts.

Reference Case - Premium AEROTEC

The Flexform Fluid Cell Press at Premium AEROTEC’s plant in Bremen, Germany, had been in operation for more than 30 years when the company decided to upgrade the control system of the press to ensure reliable uptime and access to spare parts. This would also increase productivity and enhance both alarm handling and data logging greatly.

Reference Case - Airbus Defence and Space

To secure high equipment availability and improve productivity, Airbus Defence and Space decided to upgrade a Flexform Fluid Cell Press in one of its production plants. The press was originally designed and commissioned by Quintus in 2002. The upgrade was performed during a planned maintenance stop, and the press was back in operation after a record-short time thanks to great teamwork and meticulous planning

White Paper - High Pressure Warm Forming System

The Flexform High Pressure Warm Forming (HPWF) process is a new technology, potentially replacing or complementing traditional hot forming methods, such as super plastic forming (SPF), hot stamping and hot gas forming. The HPWF process operates at a temperature below 270°C (520°F), and at a forming pressure of up to 1,400 bar. The unique combination of high pressure and relatively low temperature provides a cost efficient forming process for alloys like titanium and magnesium.

White Paper - High Pressure Warm Forming Reshapes the Economics of Ti-6Al-4V Parts

Costly and time-consuming conventional forming methods have limited the use of Ti-6Al-4V to highly stressed components in narrowly specialized applications. High Pressure Warm Forming (HPWF), an innovative new process developed by Quintus Technologies, breaks the cost barrier that has, until now, prevented more widespread adoption of this exceptional material.
