Titanium Superplastic Forming
I need a complex formed sheet structure or a hollow bonded panel. Who has SPF or SPF/DB capability?
What it is
Forming fine grained sheet at elevated temperature under gas pressure, exploiting the very high elongation some alloys exhibit in a narrow temperature and strain rate window. Often combined with diffusion bonding to produce hollow structures in one operation.

Luxfer Superform Reported
Titanium superplastic forming is reported in third-party profiles of Superform. The company page fetched covers aluminium only, so confirm titanium capability directly before designing to it.

Creep forming and diffusion bonding are both named services. Creep forming is adjacent to superplastic forming rather than identical; confirm which process your part needs. SIZE CAVEAT: this is the LARGEST UNIT across a seven-plant network, not the envelope of this particular process at any one site. Re-confirmed 2026-07-30 as 48 feet long and 150,000 pound capacity; the previously recorded '90+ furnaces' count could not be re-confirmed and has been dropped. Ask which plant and which furnace before sizing a part to it.
