Technical sourcing guide
Titanium Forgings, Blocks, Rings & Discs: specifications, grades and supply options
Use the information below to prepare a clear RFQ. Final availability depends on grade, size, quantity, specification revision and required documentation.
ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 for general titanium forgings; aerospace and drawing-controlled orders use the applicable AMS specification or customer requirement.
Commercially pure Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 plus alloy Grades 5, 7, 12 and 23, subject to section size, forging route and specification.
Forged blocks, discs, rings, shafts and near-net shapes; final dimensions, machining allowance, grain-flow and heat-treatment requirements are RFQ-controlled.
MTC, heat traceability, dimensional inspection and surface examination; UT, liquid-penetrant, macrostructure and microstructure testing when specified.
Typical applications
- Aerospace structures and rotating components
- Chemical and pressure-equipment parts
- Marine, offshore and energy components
- High-integrity rings, hubs, blocks and machined parts

Frequently asked sourcing questions
Which standard and grade should I specify?
ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 for general titanium forgings; aerospace and drawing-controlled orders use the applicable AMS specification or customer requirement. The final grade, revision and supplementary requirements should be stated on the RFQ or purchase order.
Can size and tolerance be customized?
Forged blocks, discs, rings, shafts and near-net shapes; final dimensions, machining allowance, grain-flow and heat-treatment requirements are RFQ-controlled. Final dimensional tolerances are confirmed against the governing standard or customer drawing.
What inspection and documentation are available?
MTC, heat traceability, dimensional inspection and surface examination; UT, liquid-penetrant, macrostructure and microstructure testing when specified.. Supply condition: Production route, surface finish, packaging and delivery documents are confirmed at quotation.
