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.
