Casting in vacuum furnace
Posted: Tue Dec 06, 2016 1:31 am
I have a vacuum furnace I can set up. I want to cast glass into a mold. The unit is rated for 1100c. If the glass will slump I'm guessing without air it may conform to a mold. The question is, Is this possible at all at 1100c?
What would be the lowest temperature without air/bubble worry? I need to make some repairs so I can probably raise it to 1200. I'm hoping the vacuum takes all the bubble issues away allowing lower temperatures.
(Also posted to casting, but this is probably the right place).
