Product & Service

STANDARD

JPL Standard is competitive and aid casters in the most demanding of casting environments. JPL Standard can support caster in terms of minimize the cost of jewelry production, while produces casting with the superior surfaces which re-ducing metal loss to full minimum.

JPL Standard can satisfyingly cast Silver, Brass and Bronze Alloys with smooth surface finish, and also suit-able for centrifugal and Vacuum Casting Machine.

Technical Data

DEWAX CYCLE

SILK CAST Yellow can be both dry and steam dewaxed with excellent results. As a general rule the larger the flask the longer the dewax time.

Dry dewax in a furnace should take place at about 175-200^oC depending on the size of the flask. For a 6”x4” flash, 60-90 min will be sufficient to remove the bulk of the wax and 2 hours should be sufficient for steam dewax.

BURNOUT CYCLE

Burnout cycles will depend very much on the size of the flask. The larger the flask or the waxes therein the longer and more gradual the burnout must be. For 6”x4” flash will only need 7 hours. In addition the furnace must have a good supply of air in order to achieve a clean burnout. Carbon deposits from the wax must combine with oxygen to form CO₂ and thus escape through the pores of the investment. If after Burnout your flash is a gray colour you need to get more air into the furnace-do not increase the temperature, this will only damage the investment.

CASTING

After completion of burnout, the flask should decrease flask temperature to proper casting temperature cool to proper casting temperature. The flask can then be cast by either centrifugal or vacuum casting methods.

Temperature of the last 1-2 hours of burnout must be adjusted at proper temperature for casting. If held for less than 1 hour, the core of the flasks will be at a much higher temperature, and may result in metal mould reaction in addition 15 minute is recommend time for quenching
