Tips

1
Casting temperature is typically 50-100°C above the melting point for good flow.
2
Flask temperature varies by casting method — vacuum casting uses lower flask temps than centrifugal.

Open formula

Casting Temp = Melting Point + Superheat (50-100°C)
Flask Temp = f(Metal, Method, Investment Type)

Provides melting points from metallurgical references and calculates recommended casting and flask temperatures by method.
