Flowforming of Zirconium and Titanium Pipe

From ATI Wah Chang
 

 

Flowforming in an advanced, cold forming process for manufacturing dimensionally precise, axially symmetrical, hollow components. The final shapes can be cylindrical, conical, ogival and contoured. Thin-walled tubing with or without a stub end flange as well as cylinders with one closed or semi-closed end can be cost-effectively flowforemed without difficulty.

This paper describes the process and shows qualification test results of zirconium pipe made by this process.

Products & Services
Nonferrous metals and nonferrous alloys are not based on iron and include alloys of aluminum, copper, titanium, zinc, nickel, cobalt, tungsten, precious metals, refractory metals. Learn more about Nonferrous Metals and Alloys
Master alloys and alloying additives are alloy element concentrates, grain refiners, hardeners, deoxidants and other agents added into a melt or metal powder blend to produce a particular alloy, modify a melt or alter processing characteristics. Learn more about Master Alloys and Alloying Additives
Bimetals and clad alloys consist of two or more different alloy layers that are integrally bonded into a metal plate, strip, sheet, or other stock shape. Learn more about Bimetals and Clad Alloys
Reactive and refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, chromium, hafnium, zirconium, and titanium. Reactive metals oxide rapidly and form a stable oxide. Refractory metals and alloys have melting points above ~ 1750° C (~ 3200 F°). Search by Specification | Learn more about Refractory and Reactive Metals
Titanium and titanium alloys are non-ferrous metals with excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue properties, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. Search by Specification | Learn more about Titanium and Titanium Alloys
