A commercially feasible process was developed for production of titanium alloy castings for high performance aerospace vehicle applications. The recommended practice utilized a vacuum consumable-electrode arc furnace, a water cooled copper, tilt-pour crucible, expendable rammed graphite molds, and centrifuge casting techniques. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is the best casting alloy presently available, with as-cast tensile strength in excess of 150,000 psi and excellent surface finish.
