Alloy
Thank you for using UNITED'S alloys.
UNITED'S 315 ALLOY is designed for 18K casting, which produces a
rich yellow finished color. #315 alloy does not contain deoxidizers.
You should obtain excellent results by following a few simple
instructions.
MELTING
| Melt Temperature for 18K Alloyed Grain |
1010°C |
1850°F |
| Melt Temperature for Alloying |
1030°- 1050°C |
1886°- 1922°F |
We do recommend pre-graining all alloy and fine gold before
casting to assure a uniform mixture.
FLASK TEMPERATURE
Normal recommended temperature.
FLUXING
Boric Acid is the recommended flux. Use as little flux as
possible. Do not use carbon fluxes or any fluxes designed for
refining; i.e. soda ash, saltpeter, etc. Avoid flux in bottom pour
automatic casting units.
QUENCH TIME
15 - 20 minutes
INVESTMENT REMOVAL
Most standard investment removers will
successfully remove the investment powder. UNITED'S Brite-Cast
Investment Remover also works very well.
REMELTING
We recommend a 50% rejuvenation for remelting.
NOTES
Melt temperature may vary with type of unit.
