Get clean, durable casts with this pink bronze casting grain. Ideal for pieces that will be enameled, it offers a low incidence of shrinkage porosity and leaves no residue in the crucible. Because it is professionally produced, you can count on consistent, repeatable quality and composition over time. Special antioxidants ensure blemish-free castings and help it hold its bright color longer. Sold by the pound. Applications Any casting method. Casting and Cleaning In general, your casting temperature should be 100˚F (37.7˚C) above the liquidus point (somewhat hotter if the castings are intricate). Use a small amount of high-quality flux when melting with an open flame. We recommend Matt’s Casting Flux™. For further cleaning, mechanical means are recommended. Re-Using If you plan to re-use ancient bronze castings, remove the copper oxides from the surface in a pickling solution or by mechanical means. We recommend a minimum 1:1 ratio of new grain to used bronze. All re-used bronze should be clean and free of debris. Composition All ingredients are kept in an oxygen-reduced atmosphere during the melting and pouring process to ensure optimum deoxidation.
