Product Detail
Product Introduction
Titanium Forged Block is rectangular forged block supplied for further processing or finish machining. Grade, specification, melt or forging route, section size, heat treatment, machining allowance and inspection must be defined before production review.
How should a titanium forged block be purchased?
Selection answer: A forged block is rectangular or square starting stock produced to support machining of thick or highly loaded components. Define grade, length, width, thickness, grain-flow preference, condition and stock allowance.
Selection boundary: Do not treat a forged block as interchangeable with plate or cut bar. Section reduction, forging route, heat treatment, test location, ultrasonic path and dimensional allowance affect qualification and machining yield.
RFQ data to confirm: Provide grade and specification, block dimensions, finished component envelope, machining allowance, quantity or total weight, condition, test orientation, UT and surface NDE, flatness, MTC and traceability.
Product Specifications
| Product | Titanium Forged Block | Grade | Commercially pure or alloy titanium as specified |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 or approved project specification may govern the product where applicable. Aerospace and critical-service orders may invoke an AMS or customer specification with additional melt, forging, heat-treatment, sampling and inspection requirements. | Size & Form | Rectangular forged block by drawing, diameter/section, length, weight and machining allowance |
| Tolerance | Applicable specification and order-defined dimensions, weight, crop, straightness, allowance and surface requirements | Supply Condition | As-cast, rough turned, forged, annealed, heat treated, descaled, rough machined or finish machined as agreed |
| Inspection | Melt and heat traceability, certificate and chemistry review, dimensions and weight, surface/crop condition, heat treatment, mechanical testing, macrostructure or microstructure and ultrasonic testing when specified. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |
Additional Supply & Ordering Details
Useful, technically consistent information consolidated from earlier product pages.
| Product-form boundary | A titanium forged block is consolidated wrought stock with a generally rectangular or square envelope. It is not an as-cast ingot, generic billet or fully machined component. |
|---|---|
| Block geometry to specify | Provide width, thickness, length, corner radii, forging and machining allowances, datum faces, flatness, parallelism, squareness and any restricted grain-flow orientation. |
| Forging-quality controls | State forging ratio or approved reduction route, heat treatment, macrostructure or microstructure requirements, ultrasonic class and scanning coverage, surface examination and mechanical-test location. |
| Machining interface | Supply the finished-part envelope and critical surfaces. Rough machining, proof machining or six-face machining should leave documented stock allowance and preserve traceability. |

FAQ
Which product specification should be stated?
Use the specification that covers the exact ingot, billet or forging form, grade and service; critical orders may require additional AMS or customer controls.
Why must machining allowance be defined?
Forging and primary stock need sufficient cleanup allowance for the finished part without unnecessary titanium weight and machining cost.
What information is required for quotation?
Provide grade, specification, drawing or dimensions, quantity/weight, route, condition, allowance, testing and certificates.
