Titanium 6al4v

DEFINITION of titanium 6al4v: titanium 6al4v is the most used titanium grade when weight to strength is a requirement.

Since the mid-1980s, Dynamic Flowform has used the precision flowforming process to produce hundreds of different components out of materials such as titanium 6al4v, flowforming the parts to net or near-net shape. Flowforming is an advanced, cold forming process used to manufacture dimensionally precise, round, seamless, hollow parts and components. Flowformed titanium 6al4v components have high tensile strengths with good ductility. It is often more economical to flowform thin walled titanium 6al4v tubes than to create them through other manufacturing methods, such as machining sold bar or heavy wall extrusions. In addition to economical advantages, by flowforming the titanium 6al4v components, there are often dimensional, mechanical and metallurgical benefits.

Customers can take advantage of the flowforming characteristics by incorporating them into their designs. In addition to the benefits listed above, flowforming produces titanium 6al4v components with seamless constructions. Quite often, Dynamic Flowform is able to integrate more than one previously separate component into the same titanium 6al4v structure, eliminating welds.

Our flowformed components range in size from diameters of 0.866" to 25.600" (22-650mm), wall thicknesses from 0.006" to 0.600" (0.15-15mm) with lengths up to 26.5 ft. (8 meters). Since flowform metal forming poses no limitations on the relationship between components' diameter and wall thickness, quite often we produce large diameters with precise thin walls
