Ultra White 9K-18K Stone-In-Place Nickel Alloy

Ultra White 9K–18K Stone-In-Place Investment Casting Master Alloy is formulated for excellent fluidity during casting and fabrication applications. Contains no gold. Sold by the troy ounce (20 pennyweights / 31.1 grams).

Features

• Engineered for stone-in-place investment casting with excellent metal fluidity
• Compatible with 9K through 18K gold formulations when pre-alloyed with fine gold
• Suitable for both casting and fabrication applications
• Contains no gold — a true master alloy for alloying to karat
• Gypsum bonded investment recommended for best results
• Fluoride-based investment removers recommended for silicon oxide coating removal

Specifications

Notes

• Pre-alloying with fine gold using aggressive stirring and fluxing is recommended to ensure a uniform mixture.
• Use very little boric acid flux. Do not use carbon flux such as soda ash or saltpeter. No flux is needed in a bottom-pour automatic casting unit.
• To calculate the weight of metal needed (in grams), multiply density (g/cc) by the weight of wax (grams), then add 10% for the button.
• Avoid aggressive acids for investment removal — use fluoride-based removers to prevent stress corrosion and surface damage.
• Recommended scrap mix: 60% fresh, 40% scrap. Note that white gold alloy has approximately one-third the reusability of yellow gold alloys.
• Melt temperature may vary depending on the type of casting unit used.
• Proprietary metals are present in the formulation and are not fully disclosed in the composition data.
