About the Titanium Casting Process

Ti Squared Castings is committed to continually enhancing our manufacturing process in order to consistently produce the highest quality products.

THE PROCESS - STEP 01

OBTAIN PRODUCT PRINT

Our team of experts can utilize current product prints or work in tandem with our trusted partners to create a product print for full production casting or rapid prototype.

THE PROCESS - STEP 02

PATTERN PROTOTYPING

Upon receipt of the print, our team creates a master pattern mold out of steel. Wax is then injected into the steel mold to create a wax pattern. Alternatively, our team can create a wax pattern through cutting edge 3D printing technologies. Our team works in tandem with our customers in order to select the most cost effective approach for their castings.

THE PROCESS - STEP 03

APPLY INVESTING MATERIALS

The wax patterns created are then assembled into a wax tree to be cast in a one batch pour. Once the wax tree has been assembled, we apply the investment materials. Ti Squared Castings utilizes the world’s most advanced robotic investing line equipment in order to consistently apply investing materials for high quality castings.

THE PROCESS - STEP 04

DE-WAX

The wax mold, with the newly applied hardened ceramic shell, is then inserted into the autoclave, where the wax is melted out of the ceramic shell. Once the wax has been removed, our team puts the empty ceramic mold into our burnout kiln in order to rapidly heat the mold. This rapid heat removes any moisture or residual wax within the mold, resulting in a solid mass mold for casting.

THE PROCESS - STEP 05

PRODUCT CASTING

The ceramic mold is then inserted into one of our multiple vacuum furnaces. Our titanium casting foundry utilizes the best German manufactured vacuum furnaces the world has to offer in order to ensure the highest product quality. Titanium is then poured into the mold in order to create the titanium casting.

THE PROCESS - STEP 06

POST CASTING PROCESSING

Once the mold has cooled, the ceramic shell is removed from the titanium casting. The titanium casting is then subject to machining, Hot Isostatic Pressing, welding, sanding, or polishing per the specifications of the specific part. The post casting processes provide our customers with a fully finished and functional product for use in their designated commercial and consumer applications.
