Section 2

Defects in Soluble Cores

There are occasions when internal details of a component are created using a core produced from a soluble wax which is commonly referred to as a soluble core. Soluble cores are produced using techniques similar to regular wax patterns and are therefore subject to similar defects.

There are a variety of issues associated with the production and use of soluble cores that can result in defective soluble cores or nonconforming wax patterns.

This section will follow the same format as the aforementioned, except the material will now be specific to the production of soluble cores.
