Ceramic seal
Only high temperature ceramic seals should be used.
(Ceramic seal C – Order No. 090-012-60)
Multiple uses are only suitable when the muffle base is very
smooth. Do not reuse more than three (3) times.
Ceramic crucible and crucible electrode
Two sizes of ceramic crucibles can be used when casting
with alloys.
The small crucible Order No. 090-161-00 can be used for up
to 36 grams of non-precious metals and for up to 45 grams
of precious metal alloys.
The large crucible Order No. 090-161-50 can be used for
a maximum of 54 grams of non-precious alloys and a
maximum of 95 grams of high gold containing alloys.
Attention: Precious metal reduced alloys have a lower
specific weight, therefore, the maximum melting weight is
clearly reduced when compared to high gold containing
alloys.
Use a separate ceramic crucible for every alloy!
The crucible electrode should also only be used for one
alloy.
Repeated use of the ceramic crucible for up to 40 times is
possible, depending on the alloy being used.
The ceramic crucible cannot be cooled down in water after
casting (danger of breakage). Without cool down, the
crucible can be adjusted up to three times by using tongs
or tweezers.
The crucible electrode has to protrude slightly from the
ceramic pan. Do not sharpen the electrode! Connect the
electrode with a wrench with the copper crucible support,
and tighten.
Melting electrode
The melting electrode in the upper melting chamber
has to be well sharpened (see section B 18). The position of
the melting electrode remains the same when casting with
alloys or titanium.
The space between both electrodes is 15 mm when
casting alloys. Small differences of ± 1 mm do not have
an influence on the casting.
