Metal: Sterling Silver
Liquidus Temperature: 893°C
Solidus Temperature: 810°C
Special processes are used to keep the silver casting granules oxygen- and gas-free. Enjoy consistent quality and composition over time, with a bright-white, lustrous finished metal.
Casting and Cleaning
The casting temperature should be 38˚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. For further cleaning, mechanical means are recommended.
Re-Using
If you plan to re-use sterling silver 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 silver. All re-used silver should be clean and free of debris.
