Titanium Castings

Who pours castings in this alloy, and can they hold my geometry and pour weight?

What it is

Parts produced by pouring molten metal into a mold. For reactive metals this requires vacuum or inert atmosphere melting and specialized mold systems, which is why the qualified supplier list is short.

Typical dimensions
Grams to several hundred pounds; envelope limited by furnace and mold capacity.
Also known as
cast parts, investment castings, precision castings, cast components
