Gap between true end of casting ring and wax pattern should be______________?

Correct answer: A. ¼ inch

  • A. ¼ inch
  • B. ½ inch
  • C. 3/8 inch
  • D. one inch

Explanation

A clearance of about 1/4 inch between the wax pattern and the ring end allows investment to surround the pattern adequately while permitting proper thermal expansion. A larger gap may weaken the investment at the casting ring margin.
