HT-1305 RICH YELLOW FABRICATION PURPOSE
HT-1305 RICH YELLOW FABRICATION PURPOSE
FABRICATION technical data [PDF]United # HT 1305 Alloy is formulated for 18 Karat Rich
Yellow Gold sheet, plate and wire fabrication giving a Rich Yellow color. The #
HT 1305 Alloy can also be used for Investment Casting if desired.
MELTING The # HT 1305 Alloy, and fine gold should be melted
together in a clean crucible. Put alloy in the bottom of the crucible and fine
gold on top. Initial melting temperature should be 1070º C / 1958º F. Drop
temperature somewhat before pouring as listed below. Boric acid flux may be used
to keep the metal clean during the melting process. The metal should be mixed
well with a stirring rod before pouring to assure a good mix.
POURING TEMP 18 K - 1020º C
FOR INGOTS 1868º F
POURING Metal should be poured into a preheated, vertical
graphite or lightly lubricated iron mold. A steady even pouring motion should
be used slowing down at the end of the pour to prevent shrinkage in the top of
the ingot. Use a round rod mold for wire and a 2 piece L shaped mold for plate
and sheet.
QUENCHING The metal ingot should be removed from the mold
and quenched immediately in pickle solution or water. For heavy ingots a
one-minute cool down before quenching prevents quench cracking.
FABRICATION The metal ingot should be cleaned of
all adhering oxide or fluxes before rolling. The ingot should be rolled or
drawn to a 50% reduction in size before annealing. After annealing continue the
reduction at 50% before annealing again. Clean the ingot after each anneal.
Keep rolls, dies and metal clean to prevent defects in the finished stock.
