Casting Reichenbach?
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2014 6:44 pm
Hello all-
I have some Reichenbach casting billets, but finding any technical info or firing schedule guidelines has proved beyond my googling abilites. I can't even find any info on its lead content, although in various fora I have seen anything from 25% to 45%.
The piece I'd like to cast is about 3" x 2.5" and it's a closed mold, and this schedule works like a dream when I cast it in Bullseye glass:
200/1000/2 hrs
100/1275/3 hrs
137/1530/6 hrs
68/1275/10 hrs
75/900/5 hrs
10/800/0
25/700/0
50/200/end
Any advice for a firing schedule for the Reichenbach? The only technical specs sheet I can find for it tells me it's 96 COE, upper casting temp 1454-1562, upper cooling point 833. How do you think I should modify my schedule for a test run?
Thanks!
