An inexpensive casting method where a sand and clay mixture is used as the vessel in which to pour your molten metal. Due to its malleable texture, sand casting can be used to replicate intricate objects by pressing the object into the sand to leave a negative impression of the design that is then filled with your molten metal. You can also carve patterns or designs directly into the compacted sand.

The mold is filled with the molten material which will then cool and harden. Once the metal has solidified, the mold can be hammered in order to crack the sand and expose the metal object. Investment casting is one of the oldest casting methods where molten metal is poured into a ceramic mold. The mold is first formed to your specific design by creating a disposable wax pattern.

Lost wax casting is not the most efficient method if you wish to create multiples of the same design as each time a wax pattern is made; it is completely consumed during the process. This casting method can be used with aluminum, bronze, cast iron, steel, and magnesium alloys and is best for casting metals with intricate detail or complex designs. This casting method will require molten metal, a metal die, wax, ceramic slurry, furnace, and a machine for grinding, cutting, or blasting.

Spin casting or centrifugal casting is a method in which a rubber mold is produced by using centrifugal force. The mold is filled with the material and continues to spin as the metal or plastic begins to solidify inside of the hollow container. Spin casting is a commonly used non-expendable method for casting products that have great detail and surface finish such as fishing lures and tackle components, belt buckles, trophies, souvenirs, pins, and medallions.

Use the below list of suggested products to help you choose the right products for your application. Keep in mind that these are only suggestions and there are many different variables to take into consideration when choosing the right products for your melting needs.

This kiln will need to be used outdoors or in a well ventilated space. These units are great for melters on either a commercial or hobbyist level of experience. This easy-to-operate machine can be used indoors on a safe, heat-resistance surface. You will need a heat-resistant vessel to liquify your material in during the melting process. Graphite and ceramic crucibles are both commonly used materials because of their extremely high melting points.

Crucibles come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials. Choosing the right crucible will also depend on variables such as; the type of material you are melting, the amount of material you will be melting at one time, and your melting process whether you are using a torch method or using a melting furnace of some sort.

This style crucible is great for those who are using a torch method to melt their material. This crucible should be seasoned before using it to ensure your best results.

We offer a variety of graphite crucibles that can be used with our different melting furnaces. Some units can handle multiple size variations depending on how big the batch of material is you are looking to melt.

These crucibles are recommended for using while melting any precious materials. You will need a mold to pour your melted material into in order to create a loaf, bar, coin, or ingot.

We carry molds in a variety of materials including graphite, cast iron, and steel. Graphite is an ideal material for metal casting as it can withstand extremely high temperatures.

Metals will release with ease and you will not require the use of a releasing agent or lubricating spray. With over 6, items, all for Jewelers, metalsmiths, bead-stringers, or jewelry makers you can find it here, at the Jewelers toy store! Didn't receive my first order.
