Towards High-Quality Investment Casting of Ti-6Al-4V with Novel Calcium Zirconate Crucibles and Optimized Process Control

The investment casting of titanium and its alloys relies on a high resistance of the crucibles and shell molds in terms of temperature and reactivity. The availability of ceramic crucibles that offer sufficient resistance to the titanium melt enables vacuum induction melting (VIM). CaZrO<sub>3...
