Abstract
Titanium precision castings have not kept pace with technical design requirements for demanding applications, such as the aerospace industry; advances in increased size capability have been offset by a lack of advances in metallurgical integrity and dimensional tolerances. Hence, there is a strong need for improvement in the casting process. Taramm has developed a process that combines cold-crucible induction melting and centrifugal pouring to produce viable castings.
