Research abstract
This SBIR Phase I effort proposes to develop an innovative, more affordable titanium casting technology based on hybrid molding technologies. Rammed graphite molding is a lower-cost casting process not traditionally used to manufacture aerospace titanium components, while hybrid molds are a combination of two or more non-traditional molding technologies. The new process is expected to yield sufficient microstructure, mechanical properties as compared with the current investment casting method, with sufficient part geometrical complexity capability and surface finish when supplemented with added-value fabrication methods.
