FPD Makes it Easy
From helping you determine the best way to produce your titanium components to ensuring our work together benefits your profit, our people, and our planet, FPD works with you every step of the way.
You Have Choices
When purchasing titanium components, the finished part can made from a titanium forging or a titanium block. FPD can help you make that decision with a detailed cost/benefit analysis. We’ll take into consideration volume of parts, part geometry, manufacturability of the part, and a few other factors.
FPD presents sustainable solutions:
Titanium Block
Raw Material Option Input Stock Weight: 40 PoundsMaterial Loss: 97.5%
Titanium Forging
Raw Material Option
Input Stock Weight: 16 pounds (60% less than block)
Benefits:
- Reduces input stock by 60%
- Reduces machining cycle time by at least 50%
Titanium Part with Finished Part Geometry
FPD can produce this aerospace part from a titanium block or a titanium forging.Titanium Hog-Out Vs. Titanium Forging
Did you know: The above titanium hinge (left) can be made from either a titanium block (hog-out) or titanium forging. Input stock influences the overall process and price. FPD has the capability to “flip the switch” and transition from a hog-out to a forging, and vice-versa.
We collaborate with our customers, identify a variety of factors, and recommend the most feasible solution to flip that switch. Let’s talk about your titanium component and assembly needs. Contact us today!
