Gypsum bonded investment should not be heated over______________?

Correct answer: A. 700°C

  • A. 700°C
  • B. 1,300°C
  • C. 1,063°C
  • D. 900°C

Explanation

Gypsum-bonded investments should generally not be heated above about 700°C because the gypsum binder decomposes at higher temperatures and can release sulphur-containing gases. These gases may contaminate or embrittle the casting.
