Recommended Pouring Practice

1 At all times the alloy should be kept as quiet and free from agitation as possible. It should never be stirred prior to pouring.
2 The lip of the crucible or ladle should be brought as close as possible to the top Qf the sprue to avoid turbulent pouring, which creates dross.
3 The stream of molten metal should be of such size
that it can be controlled without splashing.
4 The metal should be poured into the sprue without
interruption. A steady stream is desirable.
