What is Titanium and Why is it Important?
Titanium is an element that consists of low density and strong integrity.
Titanium is a durable, lustrous, and corrosion-resistant transition metal.
It’s corrosion-resistance and the fact that it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal makes it a vital material for a variety of industries in need of casting components.
Titanium can be just as strong as some steel materials while up to 45% lighter at the same time. Although much lighter than normal steel, titanium is heavier than aluminum and twice as strong.
This metal doesn’t actually start to lose its strength until it reaches high levels somewhere around 430 degrees Celsius, which makes this material or its alloy perfect for aerospace components. Titanium is also a very hard material and it has been proven to be difficult to change its shape.
Because of its strength and corrosion-resistance, it can also be used to plate naval ships, aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and even armor.
Another key factor is that titanium is non-toxic, even in large amounts to the human body; Because of this, the medical industry is able to use titanium to repair broken bones and much more. Titanium provides today’s world with many highly valuable and critical industrial uses.
What is Titanium Investment Casting?
Titanium Investment Casting is a manufacturing process that involves the production of specialized components through metallic (in our case titanium) replications of wax molds. This process results in a product with a sleek finish that requires very little post-process finishing.
This casting technique is used to create complex/detailed parts and shapes for industrial use.
When customers choose to request investment casted parts, it is typically because titanium investment casting produces products with extremely smooth finishes.
With investment casting, manufacturers can create virtually any metal product they desire and castings can be done by hand in small batches or can be semi-automated to produce hundreds of parts at once.
