Resources and Events Provided by FIA RFQ: If you have a need for a forged titanium part, you can use FIA’s Request for Quote (RFQ) page for fast access to the many producer members who forge titanium. Once you answer a few short questions about your component requirements, click submit, and any company subscribed to receive RFQs will automatically be emailed your RFQ. Lightweight Alloys Conference: The Forging Lightweight Alloys Conference will take place September 15-17 at the Hilton Long Beach in Long Beach, California, beginning with a plant tour of Weber Metals. The conference will cover topics including lightweight materials, OEM needs, advancements in technology, equipment for lightweight forging, post-forging processes and more.
