Been pondering something I have noticed with molten casting alloy that if I let it soak at the casting temperature for 15~20 minutes before starting to cast that I get good mold fill-out from the get go.
My casting setup is a 50# bottom pour which is PID controlled along with a hot plate to pre-heat the mold. Alloy is Lyman #2.
I’m sure I’m not the only one to notice this and there is probably a scientific reason for this behavior of the alloy.
Thoughts and comments?
