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
