How to Save Money When Buying titanium forgings

Forging can measurably reduce material costs since it requires less starting stock to produce many part shapes and can achieve near-net shapes, saving on scrap costs.

By minimizing the number of components in a fabricated part and enhancing design, Scot Forge can produce parts with increased quality while reducing overall cost and production time.

PRODUCTION EFFICIENCIES

Scot Forge has many different sizes of starting ingots and billets on hand, providing a wide variety of ready-to-forge inventoried grades. Using the forging process, the same part can be produced from many different sizes of starting ingots or billets, allowing for a wider variety of inventoried grades. This flexibility means that forged parts of virtually any grade can be manufactured more quickly and economically.

Forging also can yield advantages in machining, lead time and tool life. Savings come from forging to a closer-to-finish, or near-net, size than what is capable by alternative metal sources such as torch cutting plate or boring bar. Therefore, less machining is needed to finish the part, with the added benefits of shorter lead times and reduced wear and tear on your equipment.

REDUCED REJECTION RATES

Often discovering a defect in a cast part doesn&#;t happen until a part has been on a machine for hours, which can be a headache. But, when this happens to multiple parts it can be a nightmare. It takes time and money to replace parts, puts hours on the machine and increases labor costs, not to mention the lost opportunity cost. Because forging has a 3:1 minimum reduction, porosity and piping are eliminated yielding improved structural integrity. Coupled with a weld-free design, forging can dramatically reduce part rejection. 

As a custom forge shop with experts in each industry, we hardly ever see two forgings that are the same. Just a few checklist items to consider when purchasing a forging are:

Contact us to discuss your requirements of titanium forgings. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.

• Do you require heat treatment? 

• What special testing do you need? 

• Are you quoting as-forged, rough machined or finish machined? 

• To what specifications do you need to certify?

These are all great questions and really only scratch the surface of what you may need out of your forging. More often than not, if you're unfamiliar with the buying process or metal forming, this can be overwhelming.
