Hey guys, I'm hoping to get some info on why my ceramic gold is not coming out the color I want it to.
I use a PenCeram 87-Y gold for my ceramic alloy and when I'm finishing the gold and after sandblasting, it's a beautiful golden color. Yet when I'm degassing in the oven, it comes out dark and reddish. The alloy calls for degassing from 1200-1800F(650-980c). I imagine it is because my degassing temps are too high...?
Here are the specs of what I'm degassing at:
Predry/Dry time- 0:00
Low Temp- 1200F
Vac Level- High
Start Vac- 1200F
Heat Rate- 117
Vac Release- 1788F
High Temp- 1800F
No Hold
Cool Temp- 1700F
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks
