Integral Construction by
Superplastic Forming with Diffusion Bonding
We develop and produce complex sheet-metal parts on our SPF/DB hot- press to high quality standards derived from aerospace industry: an ideal basis for economic development and cost effective small run production. By using our advanced SPF/DB-technology
we enable our customers to use completely new and innovative solutions:
volume objects with part integration of highest complexity,
greater design freedom and
more economical production.
SPF/DB: a method for economic manufacture of three-dimensional objects and sandwich structures.
Technology: A separating agent is placed on defined areas between titanium sheets. Temperature of over 900 °C and gas pressure are applied,
the unmasked areas are bonded by DB. The flat sandwich is inflated - integrated webs are formed by SPF.
