I use callisto cp+ with induction casting and it works very well with ceramco 3. It is mainly a base metal and can be tough to use if you push it like a higher pd alloy. It turns green and has a heavy oxide, but turns out a fine crown. i guess i get more units out of an ounce too, as the density is quite low. I've been paying around $250 an ounce for the past 8 months or so and this is their fixed price, which is nice as it helps me to have consistent pricing to my accounts.
ODSA, call it quits. No alloy should be this difficult. Aaron, your input is appreciated, but your company is marketing an alloy that has seen spare success. Also, what you said in your post is almost verbatim what I was told when I called Argen for support. I am guessing here, but I suspect you've had about a 10-15% success rate, and mostly with larger labs.
Most labs cannot afford to overhaul their systems, and purge their ovens constantly. No alloy should require that its user walk on eggshells and perform a series of incantations over the casting pit to make it work. Noble NF is a Base Alloy that can be sold as Semi because it contains Pd. But non-precious alloys perform 10 times better. What does it cost a lab to switch to Noble NF? I'd like to see the stat's on that.
Some effort should be made by Argen to explore why some have found success where so few have. We all followed the same instructions...
