Hello, just found this forum on the internet. I work with closed die forgings and there is an issue we keep running into. Small titanium forgings getting stuck inside dies. Unfortunately, due to corporate, we cannot use hammers to release the forgings. We can only use pry bars, and only if forgings are stuck on bottom half of die, or manipulators. We use water-based lubricants to lubricate dies. Temperature of forgings are around 1400-1800°F (titanium) and 1900-2100°F for steels. All of our dies use 7° draft angles. What methods can be used, given some of the limitations listed, to free forgings? Appreciate the responses!
