Titanium Graphite Casting
Titanium graphite casting is suitable for the production of pressure-resistant housings, large-volume components and complex shaped parts made of titanium. In graphite casting, titanium is cast under vacuum into specially manufactured graphite molds. The process enables the production of complex component geometries and offers an attractive alternative for applications where other manufacturing processes reach their technical or economic limits.
Form & Technik has many years of experience with titanium and supports customers from the selection of the appropriate manufacturing process through to the finished component.
Graphite Casting for Complex Titanium Components
In titanium graphite casting, precision-manufactured graphite molds are used to shape the component. Casting under vacuum provides the necessary conditions for processing highly reactive titanium. At the same time, the process enables the production of larger and more complex shaped parts.
Typical applications include pressure-resistant housings, technical shaped parts and components with larger dimensions. The selection of the appropriate casting process depends on the component geometry, dimensions, production quantity and the technical requirements of the respective application.
Form & Technik supports the implementation of customized titanium components, combining materials expertise with many years of experience in manufacturing complex titanium components.

Insights into Titanium Graphite Casting Production
The production of components using titanium graphite casting places special demands on the material, mold and casting process. Specially manufactured graphite molds are used to create the component geometry, into which the titanium is cast under vacuum.
From mold design through to the finished casting, the individual production steps must be adapted to the geometry and technical requirements of the respective component. This enables even larger and complex titanium components to be produced as customized solutions.
