Super Thin near Net Extruded Shapes

Super Thin Near Net Shapes allow dramatic increase in buy to fly ratio. Since 2007, CEFIVAL has developed several type of titanium alloys extrusion for mechanical engeneering application, Grade 2 (T40) , Grade 9 (TA3V2.5) and finally TA6V4. Benefits from these super thin near net shape extrusions can be obtained with an enhanced control of each manufacturing step : compact press extrusion, tool design , finishing , lubrication, heat treatment and dedicated machining techniques . Directionnal properties and typical applications are presented as well as potential developments with  new engeneering alloys. Further increase is possible with cooperative processing between several technologies : shape forming , joining technics and additive manufacturing.
