Eastern Alloys, Inc. Slush Casting Alloys
In the slush casting process, metal is poured into a slush-casting mold, allowed time to solidify along the mold wall only, and then poured out. The resulting "hollow" casting is then ejected and cooled. Its primary use is for decorative castings not subjected to high stress conditions, such as lamp bases.
Because of the low melting temperatures and excellent fluidity, the alloy should be cast at temperatures not to exceed 825°F. Since the alloy is normally melted and held in cast iron kettles, high temperatures will cause excessive iron pickup, resulting in poor castability and poor finishing characteristics.
Since the alloy contains no Magnesium (to ensure high fluidity) extreme care must be taken to prevent contamination by Pb (lead), Sn (tin) or Cd (cadmium) which can cause subsequent inter-granular corrosion. Castings are normally plated soon after finishing to preclude any oxidation or corrosion problems.
