Titanium Casting and Titanium Alloys

We Are Very Experienced in Titanium Casting

If you need to offer your customers titanium casting products, let us produce them for you. We are well capable of casting titanium castings such as titanium aerospace parts, titanium parts for turbochargers, titanium musical instruments, titanium motorcycle equipment, titanium bicycle parts, titanium parts for the oil and gas industries and etc. The weights of the titanium casting parts we cast are from a few grams to one metric ton. Our state-of-the-art casting equipment ensure us to be able to provide our customers state-of-the-art high precision castings.

We Also Supply Titanium Alloys

Titanium offers a high strength to weight ratio and extraordinary corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for medical, marine, hand tools, sporting goods, and high performance automotive applications. We supply all grades of titanium alloys: Alpha alloys, Near Alpha alloys, Alpha and Beta alloys, Beta alloys. For oil and gas industry we supply high strength titanium alloys Titanium 6-2-4-6; for casting industry, we supply Grade 5 titanium and CP titanium.

How Are Titanium Castings Made?

Machined graphite mold titanium casting — This method can simplify molding and effectively control metallurgical quality. Thicker and larger size castings can be precisely made by this method.

Ceramic mold titanium investment casting — This method produces more precise castings, with details such as logos being clearly cast. Large sized and complex shape parts can be well cast using this method.

Advantage of Titanium Casting

  • Strength and lightweight: As strong as most common steels with less than 40% of the counterpart’s weight
  • Corrosion resistance: Almost as resistant to chemical attack as platinum. One of best candidates for seawater and chemical handling components
  • Cosmetic appeal: Titanium cosmetic and technical appeal even outperforms the precious metals especially in the consumer marketplace

Titanium Alloys Information

There are two common casting titanium alloys: Titanium Grade 2 and Titanium Grade 5. Please see below for detailed characteristics, applications etc.

Titanium Casting – Titanium Alloy Grade 2

Titanium Grade 2 is light weight and highly corrosion resistant. It is an unalloyed titanium and is considered a “commercially pure” titanium (TiCP). Thanks to its varied usability and wide availability, Grade 2 is used in most of the chemical processing plants and is cold formable. Grade 2 plate and sheet can have ultimate tensile strength at and above 40,000 psi.

With moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance, it also offers ductility and high impact toughness, and good weldability. It is used commonly in applications that require welding. Grades 2 is not hardenable by heat treatment.

Applications for Titanium Casting Alloy Grade 2
Chemical Processes Grade 2 titanium is highly resistant to chemical environments including oxidising, alkaline, organic acids and compounds, aqueous salt solutions and hot gases. Its corrosion resistance holds up in, nitric acid, mildly reducing acids and wet chlorine or bromine gas.
Marine In seawater, Grade 2 is resistant to corrosion at temperatures up to 315°C, rendering it ideal for a variety of marine uses.

Titanium Casting – Titanium Alloy Grade 5

Titanium Grade 5 is the most commonly used Titanium worldwide. Titanium Grade 5 is alloyed with 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium and is commonly known as Ti 6Al-4V. Grade 5 or Ti 6Al-4V, accounts for 50 percent of total titanium usage the world over.

It can be heat treated to enhance mechanical properties. It can be used in welded fabrication at service temperatures of up to 315°C. This alloy offers high strength at a light weight, useful formability and high corrosion resistance.

Applications for Titanium Casting Alloy Grade 5
Industries Aerospace, medical, marine and chemical processing industries and oil field services.
Plate The material is worked to the closest size of the desired part and the grain structure of the finished piece is more homogenous.
Heat Barrier Titanium stops the heat and does not transfer to the rest of the assembly.

Surface Treatment for Titanium Casting

Surface Treatment for Casting Titanium Alloys
Corrosion Resistance and Surface Treatment 1) the atmospheric oxidation treatment
2) precious metal coating
3) dry coating TiC, TiA membrane (CVD, w2, PCVD)
4) Pb + Pt + injection (ion beam and electron beam)
Wear Resistance Surface Treatment 1) wet coating
2) thermal diffusion method
3) welding method
4) sputtering
5) CVD, PCD, PCVD method
6) ion implantation
Then Surface Treatment 1) surface finish
2) the mirror finishing
3) color
