4. Casting with Alloys
All customary dental alloys for prosthetics can be cast with
the autocast universal
®
230 unit. The alloys are melted on a
special ceramic crucible. The electric arc is deflected over an
electrode that is set in the crucible.
The output of the electric arc is regulated according to the
alloy being used. The tipping of the crucible is done manually
via the viewing window.
Preparing the casting ring
Prepare casting object as usual, either with a sprue bar or
directly.
The use of metal muffle rings is strongly recommended.
Depending on the investment material or preheating
program, in some cases micro cracks can form in the invest-
ment material. Cracks can lead to inferior pressure values
when casting and therefore produce a poor casting reaction.
When model casting, the stability of the casting muffle has
to be considered. If necessary, metal muffle rings can also
be used.
Sprue formers
It is essential to use sprue formers from the rematitan
casting system, or other bases with sprue formers that have
a clean and smooth base.
In order to seal the casting chamber, it is important to have
a complete and smooth seal. When model casting, it is also
recommended to use the rematitan
®
sprue formers (see
instructions for rematitan
®
).
Attention! Do not use sprue formers which do not provide
a perfect sealing (i.e. BEGO etc.).
Preheating the muffle
The muffles are preheated, independent of the casting
process, according to the instructions for the investment
material and casting alloy.
