Stainless steel jewelry casting is a process of making jewelry pieces that involves the pouring of liquid stainless steel into mold. It is usually referred to as the lost wax casting because mold is created using a wax model that is melted away to leave a hollow chamber in the middle of the mold. The steps in stainless steel jewelry casting:
Create a design wax model.
Inject mold with molten wax.
Make several wax models and attach to a tree in sprue.
Secure model in a casting flask.
Mix investment and water, pour mixture into the casting flask.
Place the casting flask in a burn out furnace. This process hardens the mold and melts wax.
Melt stainless steel and pour molten steel in mold.
Allow metal to cool
Remove solid stainless steel from investment for washing and polishing.
