OTHER CONSUMABLES FOR CERAMIC SHELL INVESTMENT CASTING

• R&R WASH-N-ETCH pattern cleaner removes silicone oil or other release agents from wax patterns
  before the primary ceramic coat is applied. R&R Wash-N-Etch is a biodegradable, completely safe
  product for cleaning wax patterns. R&R Wash-N-Etch contains naturally occurring d-limonene,
  derived from citrus fruits, as the active ingredient.
  
  R&R Wash-N-Etch also acts as an etching material for the wax pattern while it cleans off the release
  agent. This product allows for better slurry adhesion during application of primary coats. Better
  adhesion of the primary coats reduces opportunities for casting defects related to shell buckling
  or lifting.
  
  NOTE: R&R RANCLENE pattern cleaner is produced in Europe and is available only to our
  European customers. For more information on this product, contact R&R’s European Sales Manager.

• Pour Cups are composed of clay-bonded mullite with a very low tramp element content to
  satisfy stringent aerospace specifications.
  
  Quality ceramic pour cups are an important part of the ceramic shell tree assembly. A well-
  manufactured cup can reduce the risk of casting defects resulting from cup erosion during a metal
  pour. The better the surface of the pour cup used, the less opportunity for cup erosion and
  spalling. Schaefer pour cups are sufficiently dense to resist the thermal shock that occurs when molten
  metal meets ceramic, reducing the potential failure during a pour.

• Crucibles provide casters with excellent overall performance during pouring. Crucibles
  can be used up to 3050F maximum temperature.

• Glasweve HT filter cups and shapes provide effective removal of inclusions and slag from steel,
  copper-based metal alloys, aluminium, gray, malleable, white, compacted graphite and ductile
  cast iron. Filters made from Glasweve HT are particularly effective at extracting dross, slag,
  refractory particles and nonmetallic inclusions.

• Flow-Rite^TM foundry filters are pressed mullite ceramic filters providing an alternative to foam filters. 
  Flow-Rite filters reduce pour time impact due to improved flow rate consistency versus foam filters and reduce inclusions due to filter breakage. Flow-Rite filters are easier to remove during metal recovery as well, they float to the surface and can be slagged off. Flow-Rite foundry filters have high metal temperature capabilities up to 3030^oF (1665^oC).
