Investment: Phosphate-bonded investment materials
Preheating: 850 °C, 30 to 120 mins until end temperature, depending on size of mould
Casting: 1430°C – possibly increase by 10°C–20°C for resistance-heated casting units. Ceramic crucible
Finishing: With carbide burs and/or ceramic-bonded stones. Always grind in one direction only! Sandblasting at a flat angle, using 110–125 µm aluminium oxide. Pressure should not exceed 2 ba
Cleaning: Steam jet cleaning or boiling in distilled water
Oxide firing: 10 mins at 950°C without vacuum. Afterwards, always clean in a preheated acid bath, e.g. Neacid, (for 10 mins) or sandblast with 50–125 µm aluminium oxide. Pressure should not exceed 2 bar. Clean thoroughly with a steam jet
