#544 Alloy

Thank you for using UNITED'S alloys.

UNITED'S 544 ALLOY may be used for 10K, 14K & 18K casting, which produces a pink / red finished color.

You should obtain excellent results by following a few simple instructions.

MELTING

We do recommend pre-graining all alloy and fine gold before casting to assure a uniform mixture.

FLASK TEMPERATURE
We recommended a slightly higher 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 minutes for 10K & 14K
3 - 5 minutes for 18K

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 a 50% rejuvenation for remelting.

NOTES
Melt temperature may vary with type of unit. This alloy is designed for casting only.
