La Jonchère has unique titanium working know-how, enabling us to meet all thin part manufacturing requirements, whether rigid pipes, hoses, bellows joints or other mechanical parts.

Working titanium requires special know-how related chiefly to the properties of the metal. Titanium is a low-density material (4.5 as opposed to 8.5 for the Inconel family) and has average ductility. Pure titanium, the mechanical properties of which are lower than those of stainless steel, can only be cold-worked, while titanium alloys, which are stronger but less ductile, must be hot-worked. The mechanical properties tail off significantly above 200°C (392° F).

With a few exceptions, titanium alloy can be used at temperatures of up to 450°C (842°F).
