ABSTRACT

This study attempted to specify the conditions for increasing stability of metal type wax casting method. (1) The matrix material and the number of matrices: Sixty matrices made of injection wax were useful as the cluster. The amount of metal was 400grams. (2) The mould material and proportion: The mixture of 89% yellow earth, 1% paper fiber, and 10% charcoal powder was effective as the material for mould. (3) The size of mould: The width, length, and height (thickness) were 170 × 250 × 30∼35mm and the marginal width and length for the matrix cluster had to be larger than 20mm to be effective. (4) The main path caliber and length for metal fluid: The size of 5 × 9 × 210mm was effective. (5) The burning temperature of mould and heating speed: A gradual heating process for 8 hours to reach the temperature up to 700℃ was effective. (6) The casting success rate and variance: The average success rate was 98.18%, and the overall variance was 5.0%. (7) The characteristics and performance of type strokes: All the distinctive characteristics in Jikji were observed here. The overall type quality was very high in both type strokes and visual aspect. Therefore, it is highly probable that the wax casting method adopted by this experiment is the method that was actually used to cast Jikji type stably.
