Vacuum Isothermal Forging (HIF)

Product catalog summary

Overview of Vacuum Isothermal Forging (HIF)
Vacuum Isothermal Forging is a critical process for shaping metals and alloys like titanium and superalloys, which are difficult to form and are used in high-stress applications such as jet-engine parts. This process is essential for producing high-quality parts in a 'near net shape' with minimal material waste and reduced machining needs.

HIF Systems from ALD

Multizone billet heating furnace
Multizone die-heating system
Microprocessor temperature control
Manipulator tunnel
3-axis billet & part manipulator

Superplastic Deformation
Superplastic deformation is achieved through low deformation rates within a narrow temperature range, allowing for minimal stress and unchanged grain size in the workpiece. This method supports 'near net shape' production, saving materials and reducing machining requirements.

Advantages of HIF

Homogeneous temperature distribution
Perfect die preparation
Precise temperature control
Fully automatic handling of parts

Isothermal Forging System Features

Microprocessor-controlled vacuum system
Vacuum tight, high-accuracy RAM module
Fast evacuation process
Easy adaptation to hydraulic press
Meets high industrial quality standards for aircraft and energy supply industries
