In this study, wedge-shaped CP titanium castings and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy castings were produced by three types of investment. The effects of the castings' thickness on surface reaction layer were investigated by measuring Vickers hardness, observing the microstructure, and analyzing the oxygen concentration. It was found that the thickness of the surface reaction layer was affected by the thickness of the wedge-shaped castings, and that the hardness value near the surface became lower to-ward the tip of the wedge-shaped CP titanium and Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy castings. The surface reaction layer of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy castings was thinner than that of the CP titanium castings.
