Spruing

Sprue to the bulkiest section.
Sprue diameter should be equal to the thickness of the bulkiest section.
Sprues longer than 3/8" should have a reservoir 1/16" from pattern.
Patterns should be no farther than 1/4" from top of investment.
Use direct method for single units and small castings.
Investment
Gypsum or phosphate bonded investment.
Burnout
900°F (480°C) to 1200°F (650°C)
Melting / Casting
No extra winds of the casting arm are required (2-3 winds typical).
Multi-or single-orifice torch: 5 psi fuel and 10 psi oxygen.
The alloy will fully puddle and form a ball before it is ready to cast. DO NOT OVERHEAT.
Cast at around 1900°F (1040°C).
Finishing and Polishing
Use standard techniques.
Soldering
Recommended Solder: 650 Solder
Flux-Brown Fluoride
