Cast Titanium Alloy (Cast Ti Alloy) Description
Cast Titanium alloy has equal ultimate strength as cast steel alloy but has many other superior characteristics.
- The density of only 4.5, much lower compared with 7.8 for steel;
- Heat resistance up to 400°C/500°C;
- Higher corrosion resistance;
- Bio-compatibility (no rejection by the human body)
Titanium alloys are melted in vacuum skull furnaces and can be cast to many designations of pumps, valve impellers, artificial joints, and machines of other shapes. X-ray inspections are applied in all casting processes by good manufacturing practices. Stanford Advanced Materials can produce custom Titanium precision castings according to your drawings and specifications.

Introduction of Casting Methods
Machined graphite mold 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 investment casting
This method produces more precise castings, with details such as logos cast. Large-sized and complex shape parts can be well cast using this method.

Cast Titanium Alloy Applications
1. Aerospace: Used in aircraft components like engine parts, landing gear, and structural elements due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.
2. Medical: Employed in the manufacturing of medical implants such as hip and knee replacements, bone plates, and dental implants due to their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
3. Automotive: Utilized in automotive components like exhaust systems, valve components, and suspension parts for their lightweight properties and durability.
4. Industrial: Used in various industrial equipment and machinery components requiring high strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance.
5. Marine: Applied in marine applications such as boat propellers, shafts, and valves due to their resistance to corrosion in saltwater environments.
6. Sporting Goods: Integrated into sporting equipment like bicycle frames, golf clubs, and racing car components for their lightweight and high-performance properties.
