You should obtain excellent results by following a few simple instructions.
We do recommend pre-alloying all alloy and fine gold with aggressive stirring & fluxing to assure a uniform mixture.

 

Step : 1 

Pre- Alloying (Fine gold + alloy) Temperature 10K  1060C - 1080C / 1940F - 1976F

Pre- Alloying (Fine gold + alloy) Temperature 14K-18K  1050C - 1060C / 1922F - 1940F

Step : 2

Casting Temperature for 10K Alloyed Grain 1055C - 1075C  / 1931F - 1967F

Casting Temperature for 14K Alloyed Grain 1015C - 1035C  / 1859F - 1895F

Casting Temperature for 18K Alloyed Grain  990C - 1010C  / 1814F - 1850F

 

NOTES: Melt temperature may vary with type of unit. This alloy is designed for casting and fabrication application.

 

Flask Temperature: Normal recommended temperature in the range of 540 C to 675 C / 1004° F – 1247° F depending on size of flask, karat & type of jewelry.

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 – 12 minutes.

Investment Removal: Most standard investment removers will successfully remove the investment powder. Use of aggressive acids causes stress corrosion and surface damage and is therefore not recommended.
 

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