Titanium Forgings
Who can forge this part in this alloy, and can they take the size and weight?
What it is
Parts shaped by compressive force while hot, producing grain flow that follows the part contour and mechanical properties superior to machining the same shape from plate or bar. Sold as open die, closed die, ring rolled or isothermal depending on geometry and volume.
- Typical dimensions
- Ounces to well over 10,000 lb depending on press capacity.
- Also known as
- forged parts, forged components, die forgings, rolled rings, hand forgings
Suppliers
Grouped by what they actually are. A mill and a distributor answer different needs.

ATI Inc. VerifiedUS melted
Isothermal and hot-die forgings, with near-net hot-die work at Irvine, California. MELT ORIGIN re-confirmed 2026-07-30 and corroborated rather than superseded: this is an integrated domestic producer that melts its own material. It remains a per-heat question regardless. DFARS 252.225-7009 status is settled on the mill certificate for the specific heat, not by the company record.

IperionX Limited ReportedUS melted
Component and forging capacity at the Halifax County, Virginia campus is being expanded against 2026-2027 schedules. The Virginia campus is confirmed and in production for metal; the FORGING capacity specifically is a forward plan rather than established capability, so verify qualified part families before sourcing.

Norsk Titanium ReportedAS9100NADCAP Nondestructive TestingNADCAP Nonconventional MachiningTi-6Al-4V (Grade 5)
The company positions RPD as a qualified replacement for forging in the right applications. Recorded against the forging form because that is the part a buyer is substituting, but note the process is deposition, not forging.

Titanium specifically is recorded at medium confidence; the capacity figures are for their overall forging capability. Confirm titanium alloy experience directly. SIZE CAVEAT: the 300,000 lb and 252 in figures are the COMPANY MAXIMA and are not alloy-specific. Re-confirmed as still current 2026-07-30; do not assume the maximum envelope is available in this alloy.

Weber Metals VerifiedNADCAP Nondestructive TestingHydraulic presses 1,200 to 60,000 tons; die clamping area 6,000 x 3,000 mm
Hydraulic presses run from 1,200 tons up to the 60,000 ton closed die press, which the company states is the largest in the western hemisphere. The range matters: a small part does not need the big press, and this supplier covers both ends.

The same form, purchased as tolling on your own material.
Open-Die Forging 3
Deforming heated stock between flat or simply contoured dies that do not enclose the workpiece, working it through repeated bites and manipulation. Used for large simple shapes and for converting ingot into billet.

Closed-Die Forging 3
Forming heated stock in dies that fully enclose the workpiece so metal fills an impression, producing near net shape parts with repeatable geometry. Requires dedicated tooling, so it favors volume.

Isothermal Forging 1
Forging with dies heated to the same temperature as the workpiece, in a controlled atmosphere, at very slow strain rates. Produces close tolerance near net shapes in alloys that are difficult to forge conventionally.
