Investment Casting Pouring Cups

Ceramic pouring cups are made of high quality ceramic materials and isostatically pressed at high temperature and pressure. They are useable for a range of alloys cast within the investment casting industry, such as ferrous, nickel aluminium and bronze based metals, and can be used with some superalloys as used in the aerospace industry.

Properties:

• High mechanical strength.
• Smooth working surface to reduce erosion.
• High chemical purity.

Benefits:

• Reduced mould inclusions
• Significantly reduced wax consumption.
• Stronger shells
• Reduced and directed metal flow into mould cavity.
• Possible to use ceramic foam filters.

Pouring cups are placed directly on the wax gating before coating and become a part of the ceramic mould. Presses grooves provide a mechanical key to improve cohesion between cup and shell. Their quantity and depth is dependent on the size and shape of the cup.

Remasol Jus-Dip is an innovative pre-formulated slurry which requires no constant mixing or agitation.

The binder system has been designed by Remet as a ready to use slurry, with silica refractory and polymer levels optimised for the best performance. This single system includes both wetting agent and anti-foam which ensures the slurry requires a relatively low level of technical equipment.

Features:

• Ready to use – Dip direct into the drum.
• Excellent adhesion to wax.
• Prevents common primary coat defects such as lifting, cracking and buckling.
• Ready to use: Silica and Polymer levels have been optimized to provide maximum adhesion, strength, and elasticity. Wetting agent and anti-foam have been added.
• Can be used as a prime or backup material.
• Stable pH.
• Excellent slurry life.
• Includes REMET® Sci-Dry™ dryness indicator to help ensure shells are ready for re-dipping.
• User-friendly.
• Works perfectly under less than ideal drying, environmental and processing conditions.

Remasol QuikBuild is an innovative pre-formulated binder which helps increase shell thickness to improve shell room productivity.

The binder system has been designed by Remet to increase shell build on back up layers. The proprietary binder also has a polymer component to improve drying and reduce boilerclave cracking. It has a good level of performance in less than ideal drying, environmental and processing conditions.

Features:

• Ready to use no mixing required
• For best results use with Remet QuikBuild A and QuikBuild F refractories
• Improved draining characteristics give a more uniform coating.
• Water-based system – no VOC problems.
• The formulation can be optimized to meet the foundry’s specific requirements of strength, processing, speed, etc.
• Lower fired strength for easier knockout.
• Improved stucco adhesion
• Stable pH
• Excellent slurry life
• User-friendly.
• Superior performance under less than ideal drying, environmental and processing conditions.
• Superior drying to traditional fibre filled shell systems.
• Improved permeability
