Sheffield-based Castings Technology International (Cti) has recently produced the largest single component ever cast by the company in commercially pure titanium, and probably the largest titanium part poured into a ceramic mould. With an envelope of 1000 mm square by 600 mm high, and requiring over 1.2 tonnes of molten metal, the titanium workpiece showcases several novel casting techniques developed in-house at Cti. The casting was part of an order from a Japanese OEM and will see service in an industrial pump that handles highly corrosive media at elevated temperatures.
