Complex Shaped Component Solutions using Superplastic Forming Presses
Macrodyne manufactures a line of innovative heavy duty, high quality superplastic forming presses for titanium, aluminum and nickel alloy aerospace components. Our superplastic forming presses produce a wide array of large precision components that feature a superior surface finish free from residual stresses and are most commonly used for the production of large components for the aerospace industry.
Traditional SPF is becoming obsolete after the introduction of GO SPF (Gas Oscillation Enhanced SPF), a Disruptive New Technology for Superplastic Forming.
Disruptive New Technology for Superplastic Forming
Macrodyne and AEM Power Systems are collaborating to integrate gas oscillation technology into Macrodyne’s Superplastic Forming Presses, to significantly improve the formability of various metallic alloys.
The Gas Oscillation Forming Technology for Superplastic Blow Forming is a disruptive advancement in the SPF process that provides significant improvements in the formability of alloy sheets. This patented new technology pushes past the boundaries of conventional superplastic forming allowing for dramatically more geometrically complex parts to be formed with higher quality and at lower costs.
Macrodyne SPF press with gas oscillation forming system can be used on Aluminum, Magnesium, Titanium, and possibly other alloys, to benefit the aerospace, automotive, defense, medical, architectural, marine sectors, and much more, with custom-designed solutions for any application.
