#924 Alloy

Thank you for using UNITED'S alloys.

UNITED'S 924 ALLOY is a high Nickel alloy and may only be used for 18K white gold casting. This alloy will produce an extremely white, Premium Grade-1 color of jewelry in 18 Karat. Alloy #924 contains small amounts of silicon as de-oxidizer.

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

MELTING

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

FLASK TEMPERATURE
We suggest a slightly higher flask temperature for white gold usually in the range of 1200 F to 1300 F for regular non stone-in-place castings.

FLUXING
Fluxing white gold is extremely important to pick-up oxides. Boric Acid is the recommended flux. 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
10 - 15 minutes or as soon as the red glow disappears from the button.

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 70% fresh - 30% scrap mix. White gold alloy has about 1/3 the reusability of yellow gold alloys.

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