I was just wanting to make one as i thought it would be cool. I already have the Ti, so why not i thought. Now that i think of it, milling here is the best option i guess. 4" thick Ti would be tough to melt down.

I have a pretty bad *** steel warhammer. Had some rust issues with it. Thought Ti wouldnt give me that.

Thanks

This is my first post. I know very little about forging.

I have a huge block of titanium. I want to get it smelted down into a mold of a custom hammer.

1. i have a resin hammer just like i want a titanium one to be made from. Is it possible to take this resin model and create a mold in which the titanium could be poured? What should it be constructed of?

2. once the mold is ready, how should the titanium be smelted? I am sure i will need to find someone near me in texas to do this, but i am not sure what exactly to look for.

3. will smelting mess up the titanium?

any help is appreciated.
