DIRECTIONS FOR SUGGESTED USE
Melting temperature: 880 °C
Casting temperature:
100 °C over its melting temperature to cast into ingot-mould and continuous casting.
100 °C over its melting temperature to cast with centrifugal machines.
120 °C over its melting temperature to cast in vacuum machines with controlled atmosphere.
140 °C over its melting temperature to cast in outdoor cylinders with vacuum.
Ingot-mould temperature: 150 °C
Cylinders temperature: from 600 °C to 700 °C depending on the machine and
objects dimensions.
Cooling of ingots: quick in lukewarm water (about 40 °C)
Cooling casted objects: in water after 10 minutes.
Cooling casted objects (with stones): in water after 30/40 minutes.
Annealing: 600 °C for 20 minutes followed by a quick cooling in hot
water (40 °C min.), better if with alcohol.
