Foundry workers pouring molten metal into an ingot
Ingot making. Two foundry workers pouring molten metal from a furnace into an ingot mould. The metal, titanium, is added to alloys for medical implants and aircraft as it is strong, light and unreactive. The metal is moulded into ingots for ease of transport. The foundry workers clothing is designed to protect them from the heat. Their aprons, arms and visors are silvered because this colour is especially good at reflecting heat

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of ingot making in a foundry, where two skilled workers are pouring molten metal into an ingot mould. The metal being poured is titanium, a highly sought-after material used extensively in medical implants and aircraft due to its exceptional strength, lightweight nature, and non-reactive properties. The significance of this image lies not only in the craftsmanship displayed by these foundry workers but also in the vital role that technology plays in modern industry. By carefully molding the molten titanium into ingots, it becomes more convenient for transportation purposes. To ensure their safety amidst intense heat levels, these diligent workers don protective clothing specifically designed for such environments. Their silvered aprons, arms, and visors serve as effective shields against extreme temperatures since silver possesses excellent heat-reflecting qualities. Through this visually striking photograph captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the meticulous processes involved in creating essential materials like titanium alloys. It serves as a reminder of how human innovation and expertise continue to drive advancements across various industries while prioritizing worker safety and efficiency.
