Abstract

The high melting point of platinum makes stringent demands on the other materials involved when it is investment cast. However, by careful selection of refractories, it has been possible to successfully cast small batches of platinum items for many years. In view of the renewed interest in platinum jewellery it has now become desirable to increase the efficiency of the process, and a number of new platinum alloys have been developed for this purpose. In some the alloying elements are those traditionally associated with platinum but in others more unusual additions are used to produce alloys with a significantly lower casting temperature.
