1. A system for centrifugally casting a highly reactive titanium metal comprising:

  • a cold wall induction crucible for containing a titanium metal charge, the induction crucible having a plurality of induction coils and a removable bottom plate;

    a power source to heat the titanium metal charge in the induction crucible to obtain a molten metal;

    a preheated secondary crucible for catching the molten metal as it falls from the induction crucible after the removable bottom plate has been withdrawn and the power source turned off, anda centrifugal casting machine for holding and accelerating the secondary crucible to centrifugally force the molten metal into a casting mold and produce a cast component.
