I wish, the casting is being done by a specialist, way out of my depth, titanium is highly reactive and there are only a handful of places around the world that have the equipment to do it. If you‘re curious, check out how it is refined, it‘s even more involved.
Can you share what you are paying for raw casting stock? I know the prices for Ali, sus, brass, cu etc. Curious is all.

Foundry is looking after that and I can‘t see what they are charging me for the raw material, just the material spec and test reports is visible to me. Last time raw stock (not mill stock) was something like $40-50USD/kg and mill stock varied a lot depending on size. For the spindles, it was about $10AUD a spindle raw material, considering the spindle is only 32 grams, thats around $300AUD/kg for mill stock :eek:.
