Lost-Wax Casting Process
Casting Temperature: 1040 / 1080 °C
Flask Temperature: 650 / 700 °C
* Choose lower temperatures for centrifugal machines.
* As a general acception, using lower temperatures for thick designs and higher temperatures for thin designs would be recommended.
Quenching
After casting cooling time for the flasks is 20 minute (for stone casting 60 minute).
Heat Treatment
Hardening:
1) Keep at 750 °C for 1 hour then cool immediately.
2) Keep at 440 °C for 3 hours and then cool slowly.
