Hydroforming & Titanium Compaction

Specialized forming technology for specific requirements

SIEMPELKAMP designs and builds hydraulic presses for forming processes that require specialized plant engineering. These include the compaction of titanium sponge as the starting point of the titanium process chain as well as internal high-pressure forming using the hydroforming process. Each plant is individually designed for the respective material and process and manufactured in our own plant in Krefeld.

Specialized presses for titanium compaction and hydroforming

Titanium compaction and internal high-pressure forming each place their own specific requirements on press force, closed-loop control, and plant engineering. SIEMPELKAMP supplies individually designed press systems for both processes.

Special applications

Hydroforming press

Our hydroforming presses can be used to produce complex workpiece geometries in longitudinal and cross section that would not be achievable with conventional forming processes. Hydraulic clamping forces up to 100 MN and high-pressure intensifiers up to 10,000 bar enable weight savings of 40 to 75 percent with optimized wall thickness distribution and high dimensional accuracy. Short cycle times thanks to rapid filling systems make the presses economical even for large-scale series production.

Special applications

Titanium compaction presses

Our compaction presses densify porous titanium sponge into compacts, which are then assembled into electrodes for remelting. In single-acting or double-acting design, they achieve press forces up to 80 MN. The double-acting design produces an especially high and homogeneous compact density across the cross section. The compression speed, which can be set precisely to the product, ensures maximum repeatability and dimensional accuracy.
