Slurry coating question
Slurry coating question
(OP)
Is there any reason why using a slurry coating as a solid mold, like a plaster mold in a vacuum flask, won't work?
I have a casting process that currently uses a vacuum flask, and a plaster to cast non-ferrous alloys. Due to the superheat and reactivity of my copper casts, it has become a real pain to cast the copper parts.
I was hoping to find some kind of alternative but it is proving very difficult. I like the properties of the slurry coats that I have found online, but am disappointed by their limited (to me) application. But why think inside the box?
Expense is no real problem, if I can get this process to work...

this is definitely an issue... conquerable? perhaps...
I am going to probe a little deeper some of the companies I have been chatting with...

"Due to the superheat and reactivity of my copper casts, it has become a real pain to cast the copper parts."
How? Why?
