Introduction :

vCasting procedure steps:

1) Tooth preparation

2) Impression

3) Die preparation

4) Wax pattern

5) Sprue former

6) Casting ring liner

7) Investing

8) Wax elimination and burnout

9) Casting

10)Quenching

11)Sandblasting

12)Finishing and polishing

 

SPRUE

·       It’s a channel created in the investment through which molten alloy enter the mould space which is created due to burnout of wax pattern.

·       Sprue former are material used to form sprue

·       They are made up of wax, metal,resin.

SPECIFICATION OF SPRUE:

1)   SPRUE DIAMETER:

Ø Same a size as thickest area of wax pattern

Ø If large cause distortion

Ø Small : suck back porosity

2)   Sprue position :

Ø At greatest bulk in pattern

Ø The reasons are :

Ø To permit flow of alloy into the mould cavity

Ø To avoid distorting thin areas of wax

3)   Sprue length:

Ø In gypsum bonded investment material up to 6mm

Ø For phosphate bonded investment material about 3-4 mm and it should be placed in centre of ring

1)   SPRUE DIRECTION:

Ø      proximal surface -45 degree

Ø  135 degree to axial wall pattern

Methods to prevent:

§  Air entrapment

§  Occurrence of suck back porosity

Functions of sprue :

ü It forms mount for wax pattern

ü Channel for elimination of wax

ü Entry of molten alloy during casting

ü Compensate shrinkage during solidification
