SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the appropriate press tonnage required to bend a solid titanium bar measuring 12.7mm in diameter and 215mm in length. Key factors influencing the tonnage include the specific titanium alloy, with Ti-6Al-4V being a common reference, and the material's heat treatment condition, such as annealed or solution treated and aged. Participants emphasize the necessity of knowing the tensile yield strength of the titanium rod to make accurate calculations. Understanding these parameters is crucial for effective titanium forming.

PREREQUISITES
  • Knowledge of titanium alloys, specifically Ti-6Al-4V.
  • Understanding of material heat treatment processes, including annealing and solution treatment.
  • Familiarity with tensile yield strength and its significance in material forming.
  • Basic principles of press tonnage calculations in metalworking.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the tensile yield strength of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy.
  • Learn about the effects of different heat treatment conditions on titanium properties.
  • Explore press tonnage calculation methods specific to bending operations.
  • Investigate the use of simulation software for metal forming processes.
USEFUL FOR

Manufacturing engineers, metallurgists, and professionals involved in metal forming processes, particularly those working with titanium materials.

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?
