S. Olsson¹, B. Carlsson¹, B. Helgesen¹; ¹Quintus Technologies AB, Sweden

Formability of Titanium Ti-6Al-4VrnA new sheet metal forming method for Titanium 6Al-4V has been evaluated, using 1400 bar pressure, combined with relatively low temperature, 270°C.rnForming limits, repeatability and process predictability is evaluated and also compared with forming simulation results.rnThe process has a capacity to form Ti sheets at high accuracy and with excellent repeatability.
