Abstract

“A gypsum-based embedding material” is provided with which favorable casting can be conducted not only in the case where a conventional wax pattern is used, but also, in particular, in the case where a resin pattern different from the conventional wax pattern in disappearance temperature and disappearance behavior is used, and with which, although being a “gypsum-based embedding material”, occurrence of cracks, breakage, or the like in a mold is suppressed even when casting is conducted by “rapid heating” excellent in treatment efficiency. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting comprising, as main components, calcined gypsum as a binder, cristobalite and quartz as heat-expandable refractory materials, and a non-heat-expandable refractory material having an average particle diameter of 5 to 20 μm, the blending amount of the non-heat-expandable refractory material in 100 parts by mass of the main components being 10 to 25 parts by mass.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting, comprising, as main components:
calcined gypsum as a binder;
cristobalite and quartz as heat-expandable refractory materials; and
a non-heat-expandable refractory material having an average particle diameter in a range from 5 to 20 μm,
wherein from 25 to 40 parts by mass of the calcined gypsum, from 15 to 40 parts by mass of the cristobalite, from 15 to 30 parts by mass of the quartz, and from 10 to 25 parts by mass of the non-heat-expandable refractory material are contained in the composition, relative to a total amount of the main components in the composition as 100 parts by mass.

2. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting according to claim 1 ,
wherein the non-heat-expandable refractory material is one or more materials selected from the group consisting of fused silica, mullite, zircon, and alumina.

3. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting according to claim 1 ,
wherein both of the cristobalite and the quartz have an average particle diameter in a range from 5 to 20 μm.

4. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting according to claim 1 ,
wherein the blending ratios of respective main components in the composition are from 25 to 35 parts by mass for the calcined gypsum, from 20 to 35 parts by mass for the cristobalite, from 20 to 30 parts by mass for the quartz, and from 10 to 25 parts by mass for the non-heat-expandable refractory material, relative to the total amount of the main components as 100 parts by mass.

5. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting according to claim 1 ,
wherein the gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting is for dental casting.

6. The gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting according to claim 1 , wherein the gypsum-based embedding material composition for casting is for applying to a resin pattern being output as a stereo image using a 3D printer.
