Induction casting Inconel and Titanium

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.
