Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium forged sleeves are hollow cylindrical forging blanks used where machining from solid bar would create excessive material loss or where controlled forging quality is required. The order should define alloy grade, outside and inside diameters, length, machining allowance, heat treatment, surface condition, nondestructive testing, end condition and traceability.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Forged Sleeve | Grade | Titanium Grades 2, 5, 7 and 12; order-specific alloy grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 may apply when expressly invoked for titanium forgings. Drawing-controlled sleeves can require a different material specification, heat treatment, test coupon orientation, machining route and supplementary NDT. | Size & Form | Outside diameter, inside diameter, wall thickness, length and machining allowance are confirmed by RFQ and approved drawing |
| Tolerance | As-forged, rough-machined or finish-machined tolerance according to the approved drawing | Supply Condition | Forged and heat treated as specified; as-forged, rough-turned, bored or finish-machined surfaces |
| Inspection | MTC review, heat/lot traceability, chemistry and mechanical results, outside and inside diameter, wall and length checks, surface examination, and ultrasonic or liquid-penetrant testing when specified. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |

FAQ
Why order a forged sleeve instead of solid bar?
A hollow forging can reduce machining time and material removal for annular components. The best starting form depends on dimensions, quantity, required properties and the approved manufacturing route.
Which dimensions are required for quotation?
Provide outside diameter, inside diameter, length, finished dimensions, machining allowance, tolerance, grade, condition, quantity and inspection requirements.
Can titanium forged sleeves be supplied machined?
Yes. Supply can be as-forged, rough-turned and bored, or finish-machined when the drawing, datum, tolerance, surface finish and inspection plan are defined.
