Our Expertises

Hot Forming parts

Hot forming allows complex, high-strength parts to be shaped in very short cycles, ranging from 10 minutes to 1 hour. This process guarantees high precision and reduces production costs by around 50%.

Superplastic Forming parts

SPF is a sheet metal forming process that allows for extreme elongation and the creation of geometries that are impossible to achieve with other technologies. Each part can be produced in a single cycle, simplifying the process and reducing production costs by 20 to 30%.

Cold Forming parts

Applications in the aerospace industry We mainly produce parts designed to reinforce and structure assemblies around the engine, such as those positioned around the turbojet engine or in the air intake. These parts, which are often circular, are perfectly suited to our Profile Stretch presse. The parts are formed into two semicircles and then generally […]

What is Hot Forming ?

Hot Forming is a process that enables the production of titanium parts, simple or complex, in a fast, cost-effective, and industrial manner. This technology combines dimensional precision, high mechanical performance, and production rates adapted to the requirements of cutting-edge industries.

The Process Principle

The metal sheet is heated to 700°C and then positioned between a punch and a refractory steel die. The punch descends progressively and applies force of several tens to hundreds of tons to shape the part. Controlled pressure holding, locks the geometry by releasing internal stresses: the part retains its shape after cooling, with minimal springback.

Key technical point: elongation and thickness reduction are limited in this process. In practical terms, the material does not become excessively thin and local elongation remains controlled. Result: more uniform thicknesses, no areas weakened by excessive thinning, and parts that retain high mechanical properties (fatigue resistance, mechanical strength).

Industrial Advantages

High productivity: short cycles from 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on geometry and material
Simultaneous production: multiple parts formed in the same tooling
Excellent repeatability: guaranteed quality consistency for industrialization
Cost reduction: approximately 50% savings compared to SPF
Energy efficiency: reduced energy consumption
