The Castings Group of the AMRC has unveiled the largest ceramic-shell titanium casting ever created from a single pour in Europe. According to the AMRC, the casting is a milestone test piece and will become a showcase for development of the AMRC’s titanium casting facility (which became operational earlier this year).
The large-scale, near net shape casting is an industrial centrifugal pump housing, used for highly corrosive applications in the chemical and petrochemical sectors. Poured from a 680 kg melt, the finished part has a weight of 200 kg.
