To change the dimensions of the dies.
To increase the refractoriness of the dies.

DIE STONE INVESTMENT COMBINATION
A commercial gypsum- bonded material called divestment is
mixed with a colloidal silica liquid.
The die is made from this mix, and the wax pattern is than
constructed on it then the entire assembly [die and pattern] is
invested in a mixture of divestment and water thereby
eliminating the possibility of distortion of the pattern on removal
from the die or during the setting of the investment.

Advantage
-A metal coated die can be obtained rapidly from elastomeric

Disadvantage
-The alloy is rather soft, care is needed to prevent abrasion of

DIE FABRICATION
Available methods for die fabrication:
A varied number of die systems or methods of fabrication have been
proposed, which may be broadly classified as follows:
A)
Working cast with a separate die (solved cast with individual die)
B)
C)
Sectioning the

5) Wax should burn out , forming carbon which is later eliminated by
oxidation to volatile gases.
6) The wax pattern should be completely rigid and dimensionally stable

Dental Investment
Material
INTRODUCTION
When a restoration or appliance is being made by a lost wax
process, the wax pattern is embedded in an investment material.
The wax is then removed from this mold, and the mold space thus
formed will be filled by the molten casting alloy from which the
restoration is to be made
DEFINITION
An investment can be described as a ceramic material which is
suitable for forming a mold into which a metal or alloy is
appropriately cast.
The procedure for forming the mold is described as investing.
Robert G Craig
As these materials can withstand high temperatures, they are also
known as refractory materials.

The refractory material alone does not form a coherent solid mass, so
some kind of binder is needed. Commonly used binders are ;
