About Investment Casting

Titanium Casting – It’s all that we do

After 5000 years of practice, you would certainly expect us to be pretty good at investment casting. In fact, we are. Unlike some others in the industry who try to be all things to all people, FS Precision Tech specializes solely in titanium casting: specifically, in precision near net titanium investment casting.

The nature of the investment casting process hasn’t changed significantly since King Tut was buried thousands of years ago with a tomb-full of gold castings. FS Precision Tech, however, has developed technologically advanced pattern materials, refractory ceramics, and metal alloys.  This continuous development of new technologies has kept titanium investment casting in the forefront of metalworking technology into the twentieth century.

4 Reasons to Use Titanium Investment Castings

Investment casting has quite impressively stood the test of time –of the Ages, really. It remains a valued tool in the arsenal of engineers in virtually every industry for several, very good reasons:

1.) Complex Geometries

Titanium investment casting can be used to easily create intricate shapes, internal passages, and complex surface features to near net tolerances without the addition of costly secondary operations.

2.) Integrated Design

Design engineers use the flexibility of the investment casting process to integrate part designs. Machined features and multiple welded components can be integrated into a single casting to eliminate the need for multiple components and complex assemblies. Elimination of weldments alone can increase the strength and service life of your products.

3.) Reproduction of Detail

Graphics, surface textures, splines, teeth, and a variety of detailed surface features add form and function to your components. Net shape details are reproduced with exceptional precision.

4.) Alloy Control & Flexibility

Processing titanium parts from the liquid state gives investment casting unique advantages. Modified alloy compositions are easily accommodated to engineer the mechanical and corrosion resistant properties of your products. Novel cooling methods can be utilized to engineer grain size and orientation for custom mechanical properties and increased fatigue life.
