Abstract: A forging die (412', 414' ) heating or preheating apparatus (420) comprises a burner head (422) comprising a plurality of flame ports (426). The burner head (422) is oriented to compliment an orientation of at least a region of a forging surface of a forging die and is configured to receive and combust a supply of an oxidizing gas and a supply of a fuel and produce flames at the flame ports. The burner portion (432) can be movable with respect to the burner portion (432') to conform at least a portion of the burner head (422) to an orientation of the forging surface (416') of the forging die (410'). The plurality of flame ports (426) are thus configured to impinge the flames onto the forging surface (416', 418') of the forging die to substantially uniformly heat at least the region of the forging surface of the forging die.

Abstract: Methods of refining the grain size of titanium and titanium alloys include thermally managed high strain rate multi-axis forging. A high strain rate adiabatically heats an internal region of the workpiece during forging, and a thermal management system is used to heat an external surface region to the workpiece forging temperature, while the internal region is allowed to cool to the workpiece forging temperature. A further method includes multiple upset and draw forging titanium or a titanium alloy using a strain rate less than is used in conventional open die forging of titanium and titanium alloys. Incremental workpiece rotation and draw forging causes severe plastic deformation and grain refinement in the titanium or titanium alloy forging.
