Titanium golf club forging method

There are two main processes for the realization of titanium gold hollow wood: one is the use of investment precision casting to produce large volume of titanium ball head, the current casting volume is about 520 mL, the ball head body generally adopts Ti6Al4V alloy casting, can design the bottom (sole) or hitting surface (face) opening. Material and form of sole and face are inlaid according to different needs of players. The cast titanium ball head is mainly Face opening. Because the hitting surface directly affects the direction, distance and speed of hitting, different titanium alloy materials are configured to have different hitting effects. The general use of high strength β-titanium alloy, such as Ti-15333, Ti-1023, β-21S and SP-700, they have higher strength and toughness, so that the player in the ball handy.

Another way to make hollow titanium wood is by forging. The general forging ball head of titanium alloy is composed of four parts: bottom plate, top cover, hitting surface and club. The four parts are connected by welding process. The top cover and bottom plate are generally made of pure titanium, and the hitting surface and rod are mostly made of titanium alloy. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of material technology, a variety of new high strength titanium alloy materials and titanium table composite materials are also constantly introduced and used in golf head. Such as "Little Thunder" company of titanium steel clad plate has been successfully used in forging ball head, change the traditional way (i.e., in the bottom of the inlaid tungsten, heavy metals such as copper blocks to weight), and two cover, a type of titanium alloy and composite board and the breadth of dislocation welding, using the underlying the density of the stainless steel as a counterweight, at the same time because it is the whole stainless steel plate, So a good solution to the general inlaid ball head counterweight mass distribution of uneven problem. At present, the international golf market is pursuing the design of innovative golf clubs, and the application of new materials is to meet this demand. Because "Little Thunder" ball head has its unique novelty, when the first time to put the ball head into the market, it has a very good selling point, much golf players love.
