Where an application requires high strength materials which cannot be formed conventionally, for example 6AL4V and 6-2-4-2 titanium, hot forming allows us to overcome this.
Induction heating will raise the temperature of titanium casings from ambient to 680deg centigrade in around one minute, allowing the forming process to commence.
Alternative hot forming processes include hot pressing and die quenching, achieving shapes that would otherwise be impossible from these exotic materials.
