Objective
Successfully casting inconel and titanium in less than one minute.
Equipment
UPT-Supercast Pro A5
Copper mold
Ceramic sleeve
Standard coil
Test 1
Materials
22g titanium rods, 0.197″ (5 mm) diameter
Key Parameters
Power: 5 kW
Temperature: Approximately 3182° F (1750° C)
Time: 40 sec
Test 2
Materials
27g inconel ingot
Key Parameters
Power: 5 kW
Temperature: Approximately 2642° F (1450° C)
Time: 60 sec
Process 1:
- The crucible with the titanium rods, copper mold, and ceramic sleeve are placed in the machine.
- The machine parameters are set for casting Titanium.
Process 2:
- The crucible with the Inconel, copper mold, and ceramic sleeve are placed in the machine.
- The machine parameters are set for casting Inconel.
- During melting, due to the slow melting process, the power is increased from 85% to 95%
Results/Benefits:
Casting was successful for both the titanium and Inconel.
