  • Ring forging process
    Patent number: 4860567
    Abstract: A process is described for producing forged ring articles from high strength, high temperature materials such as superalloys and titanium alloys. The material to be forged is conditioned and placed into a condition of low strength and high ductility. This starting material is then back extruded to produce a cup. The cup can be sliced into rings in which can thereafter be final forged to a particular contour.

  • Hollow article forging process
    Patent number: 4803880
    Abstract: A process for forging hollow elongated articles from superalloys and titanium alloys. The process employs preconditioned material which has low strength and high ductility. The process is performed in a forging press and has an initial step which converts a preform into a intermediate shape by press motion which produces radial outward workpiece flow. Press punch geometry is then changed and the operation continues with radial inward flow about a mandrel.
