#360
Alloy
Thank you for using UNITED'S alloys.
UNITED'S 360 ALLOY may be used for low karat casting, which
produces a light yellow finished color. It is designed for a high
resistance to tarnishing.
You should obtain excellent results by following a few simple
instructions.
MELTING
| Melt Temperature for low karat Alloyed Grain |
980°- 1000°C |
1796°-1832°F |
| Melt Temperature for Alloying |
1040°- 1050°C |
1904°- 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. Fluoric-based investment
removers are the best for removing the silicon oxide invisible
coating. UNITED'S Brite-Cast Investment Remover also works very
well.
REMELTING
We recommend 25% - 50% rejuvenation for remelting.
NOTES
Melt temperature may vary with type of unit. This alloy is
designed for casting only.
