Hello! I am looking for a caster who will be open during the July
holiday. My caster is closing June 29th through July 9th and I have
rush wedding rings I need cast in white gold.
Alternatively, I would like advice if I end up having to do this
myself. Can I use a centrifugal caster? Is white gold as hard to
cast as it is to work?
Thanks in advance,
Jade
Centrifugal casting of white gold is not hard at all. It has a
slightly higher melting/flow point than the same weight of yellow
gold, but other than that everything else is the same.
14K yellow - 1550 degrees F
14K white (w/ nickel alloy) - 1810 degrees F
14k white (w/ palladium alloy) - 2000 degrees F
Hi Folks, I will be open and casting all summer. Just FYI. John,
