About sprue bases and rubber formers
A crucible former is the base to which the sprue former is attached while the wax pattern is invested. It is a convex rubber, plastic or metal base that forms a concave depression, the crucible, in the investment.
A crucible is a vessel of refractory material, frequently ceramic, used for melting a substance that requires a high degree of heat. A crucible former is the base that forms a concave depression, the crucible, in the investment.
How crucibles, crucible accessories and sprue bases differ
- Crucibles — The refractory vessel the alloy is melted in.
- Crucible Accessories — Handles, inserts, wells and plungers.
- Sprue Bases & Rubber Formers — The base under the ring that shapes the funnel for the metal.
What to look at when choosing
Fit: a crucible is listed by the casting machine it fits, and a former by the ring it fits.
