Our accumulated titanium engineering and expertise of over thirty years enable the reduction of material use, process time and cost.

Example 1  Change from cutting to hollow forging

In the conventional method, titanium pipes have been manufactured by hollowing out the inside of a round bar, hence generating scraps as output. It is time-consuming and incurs a high cost for grinding.
However, Tokyo Titanium utilizes hollow forgings, which achieve a reduction in material use, and cut work time and its cost.


Material: Ti6AI-4V
For cutting from a round bar (unit:mm)
415dia × 491L 1P 297kg of material is necessary.

For hollow forging,
415OD × 343ID × 491L 1P only 95kg of material is required.

Example 2  Change from "cutting only" to "partial cutting and welding of pipe"

In the conventional method, titanium pipes have been manufactured by hollowing out the inside of a round bar.
Tokyo Titanium has succeeded in reducing cost using our exclusive machining process and welding technology.

Material: Ti Class 2 (Ti-CP)
For cutting from a round bar
20dia × 120L 1P 0.18kg of material is necessary.

For our method (welding partially cut round bar and pipe)
12dia × 30L 1P 0.05kg of material
13.5OD × 12ID × 80L 1P 0.02kg of material
only 0.07kg of material in total is required.

Example 3  Change from cutting to closed die forging

In the conventional method, a round bar is forged through cutting work.
Tokyo Titanium has adapted stamp forging and, as a result, succeeded in reducing material use, time and cost.

Raw materials: approx. 40% reduction
Process time: approx. 46% shortened
Price of product: 32% reduction

Material: Ti Class 2 (Ti-CP)
For cutting from a round bar
60dia × 35L 1P 0.68kg of material is necessary

For stamp forging
45dia × 58L 1P only 0.45kg of material is required.
