Pressing Ceramics: Spruing/ Ingot Selection

Step One:

The objects have to be positioned within the indicated areas of the investment ring.

Step Two:

The wax wire should have a diameter of 8 gauge - no taper (3.0-3.5 mm)


The angle of the fixed objects to the vertical axis is approximately 20°

No part of wax pattern should be any closer than 5mm to edge of ring.

 

Step Three:

Carefully measure the weight of the wax patterns and sprues to calculate the required ingots from the above table.

Step Four:

Ingots and disposable plungers are NOT preheated.
