SPF (Super Plastic Forming) is a process for the low cost-effective production of thin-walled three-dimensional objects made of aluminium, titanium and steel alloys.
The technology provider is one of the worldwide leading companies for Super Plastic Forming (SPF). For manufacturing integral constructions SPF can be combined with diffusion bonding.
SPF technology:
SPF (Super Plastic Forming) is a process for the economic production of thin-wal- led three-dimensional objects made of aluminium, titanium and steel alloys. The characteristic of SPF is an extremely high flowability. Titanium reaches this condi- tion in a hot press when heated up to 900 °C. Under comparatively low gas pres- sure, the material forms over the shape of the forming die. Extremely thin-walled but rigid designs are possible. The process is governed by specifically developed SPF-parameters and an advanced tooling concept. This method allows to adjust the panel thickness as required.
