AI Thread Summary
To determine the appropriate press tonnage for bending a solid titanium bar measuring 12.7mm in diameter and 215mm in length, it's crucial to know the specific titanium alloy being used, such as Ti-6Al-4V, along with its material grade and heat treatment condition, like annealed or solution treated and aged. The tensile yield strength of the titanium rod is also essential for accurate calculations. Without this information, estimating the required force for bending would be challenging. Additional details about the material specifications will help in providing a more precise approximation of the necessary tonnage for the forge press. Accurate calculations depend heavily on these material properties.

Hi I am new to this site, but would be very grateful if someone could steer me in the right direction to calculate the following:

Currently within my work area I have been asked to look into Titanium forming - I am just trying to approximate how much force or press tonnage would be sufficient to bend a solid titanium bar with dimensions of 12.7mm diameter by 215mm in length?

Any further info please let me know, or what I need to obtain to get a good approximation of tonnage from a forge press.

b0048957: Which titanium alloy? Ti-6Al-4V? What material grade? What material specification number? What material heat treatment condition? Annealed? Or solution treated and aged? Can you provide a link to the tensile yield strength of your titanium rod?
