Titanium Forging Services: Qualified Co-Owned Facilities

Titanium Forging Services: Global Scale, US Operational Oversight

ForceBeyond is a Tier-1.5 manufacturing partner specializing in high-integrity Titanium Forging for aerospace, defense, and medical sectors. We co-own and operate an AS9100-certified manufacturing network across the USA, South Korea, and Taiwan, using appropriately qualified facilities for each program. By integrating direct operational control with in-house 5-axis CNC machining, we deliver mission-critical Ti-6Al-4V and Beta-alloy components with project-specific metallurgical traceability.

The ForceBeyond Advantage: Co-Owned Operational Control

Unlike brokers or traditional contract manufacturers, ForceBeyond is deeply embedded in the production cycle. Our leadership and engineering teams manage the operations of our co-owned facilities to coordinate process controls and support compliance with the requirements and certification scope applicable to each project.

• USA (Manufacturing & Engineering Operations):Co-owned domestic manufacturing, ITAR-compliant projects, and final quality verification.
• South Korea (Co-Owned Facility): AS9100-certified high-tonnage forging and advanced VIM melting under ForceBeyond operational management.
• Taiwan (Co-Owned Facility):Precision investment casting and advanced Titanium Machining centers managed by our integrated technical team.

Specialized Titanium Forging Capabilities

Our facilities utilize advanced thermal-mechanical processing (TMP) to reach ultra-high tensile strengths (above 1,200 MPa) and optimized fatigue resistance.

• Titanium Aerospace Forging : Ti-6Al-4V forgings, seamless rolled rings, and structural airframe components produced to applicable aerospace material specifications such as AMS 4928. Legacy military specifications may also be reviewed when specifically invoked by the customer drawing or purchase order.
• High-Strength Beta Titanium Forging: Specializing in Ti-5553 and Ti-10-2-3 utilizing Isothermal Forging to eliminate “die chilling” and ensure microstructural homogeneity.
• Near-Net-Shape (NNS) Forging: Precision blocker dies that reduce material waste by up to 45% and achieve “Buy-to-Fly” ratios as low as 3.5:1.

Common Forged Components & Applications

• Jet Engine Turbine Blades:Optimized grain flow for high-cycle fatigue resistance.
• Landing Gear Actuators:High-strength Beta titanium for structural loads.
• Structural Airframe Brackets:Near-Net-Shape (NNS) designs to reduce “Buy-to-Fly” ratios.
• Compressor Disks:High-temperature stability using Ti-6242 alloys.
• Exhaust Rings & Seamless Rolled Rings:Up to 84″ O.D. for propulsion systems, subject to alloy, cross-section, ring geometry, equipment availability and DFM review

ForceBeyond Process Parameters for High-Performance Alloys

Forging temperature is selected relative to each alloy's beta transus and desired final microstructure. Process control includes billet temperature, die temperature, transfer time, reduction, strain rate, and subsequent heat treatment.

Economic Impact: Optimizing the “Buy-to-Fly” Ratio

In traditional titanium aerospace manufacturing, “Buy-to-Fly” ratios often exceed 10:1. ForceBeyond’s Near-Net-Shape (NNS) Forging process, managed through our co-owned facilities, achieves a benchmark ratio of 3.5:1 to 4.2:1 for structural airframe components.
