ForceBeyond specializes in the Beta Titanium Forging of high-performance near-beta alloys, including Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr (Ti-5553) and Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al. As a Tier-1.5 provider, we manage the complex thermal processing required to achieve tensile strengths exceeding 1,250 MPa while maintaining critical fracture toughness. Our integrated oversight ensures that every high-strength blank is optimized for final Titanium Machining, delivering flight-ready landing gear and structural airframe components for the U.S. aerospace and defense sectors.
Beta and Near-Beta titanium alloys offer the highest strength-to-weight ratio and fracture toughness of any titanium class. However, they are notoriously difficult to forge due to their narrow “processing windows.”
Because Beta alloys are notoriously difficult to finish, ForceBeyond bridges the gap between the forge and the CNC center. We deliver forgings that are “Machinist-Ready.”
We perform precise in-house heat treatment to reach the specific Rockwell hardness (HRC) required for your application. This consistency reduces tool chatter and prevents “spring-back” when these parts reach our Precision Machining Hub.
By forging closer to the final dimensions, we reduce the volume of high-strength Beta material that must be removed via CNC. This significantly lowers your “Buy-to-Fly” ratio and protects your profit margins on expensive Ti-5553 projects.
Every Beta forging undergoes rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure it is free of alpha-inclusions or internal voids.
Secure Your Aerospace Supply Chain with Direct Operational Oversight.
Due to the specialized nature of Beta Titanium alloys (Ti-5553, Ti-10-2-3), our engineering team conducts a mandatory thermal-mechanical review for every project to ensure AS9100 compliance.
Please include the following in your RFQ:
Ti-5553 offers significantly higher depth-hardenability and higher strength, making it the superior choice for very thick sections (over 3 inches) where standard Grade 5 would lose its properties in the center of the part.
Yes. Our NNS Forging process is specifically designed to minimize the machining allowance on Beta alloys, which is critical given how difficult and expensive they are to machine.
Yes. High-strength properties in Beta alloys are achieved through precise Solution Treating and Aging (STA) cycles. We manage this process within our AS9100 QMS to ensure the final part meets the required AMS 4983 or AMS 4984 standards.
