Titanium Castings (UK) Ltd - (TCUK) - has developed new materials and techniques for manufacturing precision, high duty valve and pump castings for strategic manufacturing programmes. These enable short lead-times to be achieved for fully certified, production volumes, prototypes, one-offs or low volume castings to specified procurement standards.
The company has also achieved a commendable delivery record for full-rate production of defence components, demonstrating its capacity and capability to manufacture significant volumes of commercial castings. Castings can be supplied to a maximum weight of 26 kg, in lead times of 10-12 weeks, with a dimensional accuracy in the range of ISO 8062 CT4 CT7 and a surface roughness average, Ra, in the range of 2.5 - 7.6µm (100 - 300µin).
Weight savings of up to 25 %, and machining savings of up to 45 % can be achieved when compared to alternative manufacturing processes. The manufacturing facilities are accredited to ISO 9000 and EN/AS 9100, with radiography and vacuum heat treatment facilities being certified by NADCAP.
