Melting:
- Melt temperature for casting: 1050°C 1922°F
NOTES: Melt temperature may vary with type of unit. This alloy is designed for casting only. #330 Brass should not be used for gold casting! #330 Brass should not be
cyanide gold plated, use acid gold plating unless a nickel sub-plate is used.
Flask Temperature:
- Normal recommended temperature in the range of 580°C to 700°C / 1076°F to 1292°F, depending on size of flask, karat and type of jewelry.
Fluxing:
- Boracic acid is the recommended flux Use as little flux as possible. Do not use carbon fluxes or any fluxes designed for refining. Avoid flux in bottom pour automatic casting units.
Quench Time:
Investment Removal:
- Most standard investment removers will successfully remove the investment powder. Flouric based investment removers are the best for removing the silicon oxide invisible coating. Use of aggressive acds causes stress corrosion and surface damage and is therefore not recommended.
