Spruing: Following the rules for dental applications (see General Instructions for Use)
Investment: Phosphate-bonded investment materials;
gypsum-bonded investment materials
Preheating: 850°C, 30 to 120 mins until end temperature, depending on size of mould
Casting: 1310 °C, – possibly increase by 20°C–30°C for resistance-heated vacuum
pressure casting. Graphite crucible or open flame with ceramic crucible.
Finishing: With carbide burs and/or ceramic-bonded stones
Cleaning: Ultrasonic cleaning or steam jet cleaning
Oxide firing: 5 min at 900 °C without vacuum. It is imperative to
remove the oxides. Preferably, acidify for 10 - 15
minutes in a warm and clean neacid bath or carefully
blast with 50 - 110 μm aluminium oxide.
Finally, steam off thoroughly.
Soldering before firing: Orplid ® Keramik Solder 1020
